Do you ever feel overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or unsure how to move forward? Are ADHD, trauma, grief, or struggles with food making daily life harder? Because of my own lived experience with these challenges, I am able to offer a safe, compassionate space for you to share your story and feel understood. I’m not a traditional therapist who simply listens and nods. My style is active, collaborative, and down-to-earth—I offer tools, strategies, and honest reflections to support meaningful change. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and empowered to move forward in ways that fit your life.

Life can be hard; each season comes with its own set of challenges. I am here as a counsellor to come alongside you, & work together with you, in those areas you feel you could use some support. Maybe you just feel "stuck". Or you sense something isn't quite right. Or you're struggling in a tough season or relationship in your life. I can help you unlock these areas, so you can move towards the life & relationships you're really longing for. We have one life to live...let's work together so you can live it free!

“Grow through what you go through”. I like to call myself a “WHY” therapist. I believe that clients grow through their experiences starting from their “roots” (or their childhood). I believe that growing through experiences that may have stemmed from traumatic events in life or maladaptive ways of being, are the pinnacle of a therapeutic experience. I am here to guide you on your journey to self-actualization and improved mental health.

Pain requires attention that heals it, not the kind that perpetuates it. For some this may be the first time seeking understanding, direction, helpful tools. Others may have sought a lifetime for relief from struggle, despair, confusion; challenges that feel overwhelming. Regardless, if you are hoping to live with more wholeness and ease, you are in the right place. This is exactly the time to make the connection with support that you deeply long to.

I work with individuals from childhood through adulthood, as well as couples and families. What unites my work is not who you are but what you have experienced and what healing and wellness means to you. Tired of feeling overwhelmed, irritable, unworthy, empty and stuck? Exhausted from conflict or aching distance in relationships? Worried for your child who has dealt with way too much already? My passion and expertise is in helping you and your loved ones heal from "Big T" and "Little T" traumas (chronic stress, abuse, loss, divorce, life transitions like new baby). My approach is science based, collaborative, and steady.

Something in your life needs to change - and you know it! You’ve been pushing through, keeping the mask on… but something’s giving way. The stress, conflict, anger, and loneliness are catching up. If you’re here, it’s because carrying this alone has become too heavy. You need someone in your corner. You need a guide. My best work happens in these three areas of speciality: (1) Men's Counselling, (2) Couples Counselling, and (3) Separation & Divorce Counselling.
