Accepting new clients! I have always been drawn to human beings; their stories and struggles. I am intrigued by life narratives and always had the desire to help in any capacity. Becoming a mother at the young age of 16 opened my eyes to the struggles that exist and the necessity of support in our lives. You don't need to travel these back roads alone! If I could choose my best life, it would be outside. I love the water, trees, mountains and feel most comfortable in nature. My success is based on my empathic, genuine self. I strive to bring that to each interaction. Compatibility is key!

I work with teenagers (13+) and adults with a multitude of life challenges. I specialize in substance abuse, gambling, sex addiction, depression, anxiety and borderline personality disorder. I build positive working relationships and customized treatment plans to meet your expectations and therapy goals. Collaboration is the key to success.

Taking the step to find the right therapist can be a hard one, so I'm happy you are here. I would be honoured to be part of your journey. Welcome to True North Counselling Corporation.
