The last few years have been hard on everyone, and you may have experienced new relational stress, financial stress, and anxiety about what the future might hold. Like many people, you might find yourself overwhelmed or feeling helpless. These stresses and pressures can affect your work, your relationships and your loved ones as well. If you are struggling in these tough times, I can help you find new ways to cope and manage. Together we can identify the root of your stress, find ways to cope with it, and manage your anxiety. My goal in counselling is to go beyond giving you ways to live with your problems.

70 years of life experience has been my best teacher (even though I have all the necessary professional training.) I have experienced loss when 2 spouses passed away from disease. I have won my own battles with cancer and addiction. I have raised 4 children, 2 step children (some with special needs) and now enjoy 12 grandchildren. I treat anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and anger by addressing the root of the problem - trauma. I am trained in EMDR, which is useful in healing PTSD (both childhood and adult trauma). Within minutes (not months) the pain of trauma can be permanently erased and people are less triggered in life.

Are you seeking support for processing trauma, unpacking painful religious experiences, or your relationship with food and your body (ex: disordered eating, chronic pain, tinnitus)? Trauma often leaves us feeling disconnected from ourselves, others, and the world around us. These disconnections can make it difficult to manage in our daily lives - let alone find support. However, I believe that therapy is one of the ways that we can begin the process of re-connecting with our bodies and communities. In our work together, I will seek to provide an open, confidential space that meets you where you’re at with empathy and non-judgement.

Do you find yourself circling around the same issues, or struggling to overcome one particular problem, despite a lot of effort to change? I get how exhausting and sometimes hopeless that place can feel. I work with my clients to drill to the core of what is perpetuating current issues, so that together we create not just coping, but healing. By treating problems at this root level, clients often report having a sense of freedom beyond what they've experienced before. I utilize a combination of therapeutic techniques, however my specialization is in Accelerate Resolution Therapy (ART).
