Stresses add up, and sometimes that can become a heavy load. I bring the most current counselling tools, techniques, and evidence-based practices to my therapeutic relationships. I start with developing relationships, and collaborative goal-setting. With a common vision, together we can work towards achieving those goals.

Life events, world events, and growing day to day demands and stressors can challenge the limits of our resilience. That can make coping and dealing with everyday life harder and usual skills and resources can feel like they are dormant. You are probably here because you recognize you might need someone to join you on your path to growth and meeting your goals. You might be working hard on your relationships and need extra support along the way. Perhaps you are struggling with mental health and need a place to process your thoughts and feelings and find the tools that help you get back control and your true sense of self.

We believe counselling is about being open and willing about exploring that which is negatively impacting your life. Facing challenges and difficulties takes courage and a belief that something could be different and even, perhaps, better. I aim to create a warm and welcoming space. Here, you are invited to explore your current situation with a focus on how to create a brighter tomorrow. We believe each person has a sense of what is helpful. Personalizing each session, we collaboratively create a plan to move you through this challenge and to a tomorrow with greater freedom. We offer reduced rate counselling with our MACP candidate.

It is inevitable that at some point in our lives we will all experience stress in one of its many forms. Difficulties with relationships, jobs, loss, health, trauma and even the relentlessness of a fast-paced lifestyle can lead us to feel overwhelmed and even helpless. Our bodies are designed to allow us to cope with the typical stressors that we come up against in daily life. Unfortunately, the systems we use to manage challenges sometimes become overwhelmed or fail to function in an optimal manner, this can lead to symptoms that can be difficult to manage alone.

*CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS - ONLINE ONLY** Life can be unpredictable and challenging, which often causes uncomfortable emotions, anxiety, and changes in mood. This is also common when we transition though different stages of life, and it can impact our self-identity. This is really common as we age into new phases of life and our roles, responsibilities, and expectations change. Not only are these life events challenging for us, they are challenging for the people around us to adapt to as well.
