"Occasionally, life presents individuals with diverse challenges which can result in adverse effects to one's overall well-being. In understanding clients challenges I take into account the emotional, mental, physical, social, cultural, and spiritual aspects of their being. Encompassing a holistic model of counselling I endeavour to validate and dignify clients experiences in a respectful compassionate manner. I join with individuals in exploring and confronting their challenges using a wide knowledge of counselling theory, skills, and techniques. I supportively encouraged clients to examine present beliefs, behaviours and perspectives, illuminating what changes in their thoughts, feelings and actions would be helpful."

"Life, and change can be hard. I get it! My role as a counsellor is to create a safe space where you can uncover strategies to effectively manage challenges life brings. My approach is empathetic and compassionate, yet I will motivate you to do things differently. I believe you can and will grow! Together, we will identify solutions, you will gain insight, and find clarity. I believe every person can overcome the tough stuff. At times, working with a counsellor can resolve and understand underlying cause to patterns in your life creating difficulty. My style is to incorporate compassion, humour, and appreciation for you!

"Personal distress is manageable. The majority of life stressors that contribute to distressing feelings fall into three categories that include relationship difficulties, internal factors (troubling or uncomfortable thoughts) and difficult life events (past and present). Depression and anxiety often occur when these factors go unresolved. I use cognitive-behavioural and solution focused strategies to help my clients develop manageable goals for resolving distress. Each client has the capacity for change and the evidenced based strategies that I use in my practice are an effective way to help overcome barriers to success."

"Perhaps you’ve had a recent experience that has affected you deeply, experiencing a emotional or mental shift for some time, or have a past that has somehow found its way to affect the present. You are not alone."

"​We all experience different problems from time to time because, well, we are human! Life can seem unfair and there are moments when we might feel hopeless and defeated. Some problems might appear larger than they really are and something that seems like a small problem might affect you greatly. Regardless of what type of problem you have, we can all use help at different times in our lives. The best thing one can do is talk about it. It might take one conversation or several, but it could be the best decision you will ever make. I look forward to speaking with you!"

"Children, adolescents and families sometimes struggle with stress, behaviour problems, communication difficulties, and other concerns like ADHD, marital concerns, and co-parenting issues after separation and divorce. These struggles are often difficult to change when you are right in the middle of them and thats when counselling can often be effective. I believe that everyone comes with their own strengths and talents for solving life issues, and often a little help can change the direction to a more positive one."
