Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Please contact me for a free 20 minute consult. So many people struggle with their concerns alone, whether they are in fact experiencing isolation or whether they are surrounded by other people. Some worry they might burden others, some fear what others might think, and some struggle to believe they are worthy or deserving of support. As a counsellor and social worker, I firmly believe we all need substantial supports in our lives. Whether the issues you're facing feel small or insurmountable, I strive to offer a space where you can share your experiences without feeling judged or ashamed.
Many people feel stuck in patterns of thinking and behaviour that feel internally problematic without understanding the root causes. With decades of experience in the helping profession, I am well versed in the questions and supportive guidance needed to find these answers and move forward in a healing journey.
Some of my focuses include trans affirming practice and working with 2S / LGBTQ+ communities (2Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex), Seniors, substance use & addictions, anxiety, depression, ADHD, suicidal thoughts, psychosis and schizophrenia, chronic illness, men (or anyone) burdened by anger, people labelled "treatment resistant".
