Hello, and welcome. Life can be hard and bring many stressful, difficult, and painful situations. If you are feeling overwhelmed, sad, anxious, lost, alone, or unsure about your purpose and direction, I’m here to help. My counseling practice is founded on building relationships with clients, offering empathy and compassion, and providing a safe place for you to grow, heal and flourish. Together we can help you understand yourself and identify tools and strategies to help you support yourself through all the challenging circumstances life brings. I would be honoured to work with you.
I have extensive experience helping clients with stress, anxiety, burnout, depression, trauma, chronic illness, grief, relationships, life changes, body image, and perfectionism. I also specialize in helping with mood issues and coping related to pregnancy, infertility, fertility treatments, pregnancy and birth loss, postpartum and parenting.
I enjoy helping people find ways to discover purpose and meaning, but also peace and joy through learning about themselves and their behaviors, learning to accept themselves and address their inner critic, identify what is most important to them, and fully live the life they want to live. Consider reaching out today for some support.

I often use mindfulness approaches in therapy, including Mindful Self-Compassion. At times, examining and addressing our thoughts and thought patterns (CBT), or taking a mind/body approach (Somatic, EFT tapping) are helpful. As we work together, we will determine what approach helps you most. I also incorporate personality and value discovery into sessions when indicated.
