Imagine feeling it in your bones that change is possible. How you relate to yourself, others, and life - can change. I want to work with people who are courageous and fearful and unsure. When we have limiting stories of ourselves it can be helpful to have someone else, a professional, hear us - see us- and want to show another way. I will not look away from your shadow, and I do not fear trauma or big emotions. You are so much more than what you've done, your body, and your worst thoughts.

If you have a story to tell, not only is it my privilege to hear it, we will work together to create a healing journey catered to you, and your specific needs. Every client has a unique story, based on their own perspective, beliefs, and values, and each is treated with unconditional positive regard.

Life can brings unexpected changes: Relationships come to an end; There may be Infidelity, failure, and disappointments. For those who value spirituality and faith there is a loss of hope. Alcohol and/or drug issues take control. If any of this resonates with you it may be a good time to consider counselling. I have a passion for people who struggle with chronic anxiety, aging gracefully, faith issues, addictions, depression, and relationship strife. I also have good understanding of the complicated world of blended families, those who struggle with work/family balance, and men who struggle with gaming/porn addictions.

Whether you have lost a loved one, having trouble finding joy or have survived a traumatic event, I will be by your side through your therapeutic journey.

My practice is based on the art of accompaniment, we are not meant to feel completely alone. I work to make, genuine connections through which I support healing and growth. That said I believe therapy should result in measurable change. Through my roles as a daughter, sister, friend, wife and mother, I have discovered who I am, this journey continues to teach me how vital relationships are to well-being. I have 8 children and one daughter-in-law, which has put me in the unique position to learn from many mistakes. I love to share what I have learned and support my clients to thrive in their own families, whatever form that takes.

Struggling with anxiety, overwhelmed, experiencing conflict in relationships, or just feeling unlike your usual self? These experiences can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and unsure how to emotionally manage or make sense of what we're going through. However, I believe that healing is possible when we find a space that allows us to become curious and compassionate about ourselves. Together, we'll work to deepen your self-awareness, take purposeful steps toward your goals, and thoughtfully explore the parts of you that need healing and care.
