Hey, there you are! Are you anxious? Overwhelmed by life or by grief? Are you angry more often than you'd like? Are you a survivor of trauma and stuck in unhealthy thinking patterns or old behaviors that no longer serve your goals in life? Turning to unhealthy solutions to manage these painful feelings can seems like the only option. Maybe you have even engaged in counseling and been left feeling unsatisfied with the outcome. Difficult experiences take many forms, and ALL of them can create stuck points. Depression, grief, anxiety and addiction are often the result of feeling stuck.

Many times in life we find ourselves in painful places we never dreamed we'd be. As an adult woman with three children, ages 1, 7 and 9, I found myself in one of those places. With good counsel, I was able to not only survive, but thrive and, over time was able to heal and see beyond the pain of the past to enjoy the beauty of the present and look forward to the wonder of the future. It's been over 20 years, but I still remember what it felt like to walk into the counselor's office on that first day.

My passion lies in working with women during the 'middle years', as this period brings significant physical, social, and emotional changes that are often overlooked or disregarded (typically between 35-60 years old). I love empowering women to live fully and not settle for the status quo, especially from their healthcare providers during the years on the Menopause rollercoaster! I am honoured to help clients learn how to move through life with healthy boundaries, relationships, and habits that increase longevity & wellbeing at ALL ages!

You're moving through life with the sense that everyday stuff is more difficult for you than it is for everyone else. Staying on top of laundry, dishes, eating real food three times a day, and going to bed on time, work...it seems impossible. Despite all this, you can often “get it together” when you need to, even if at the last possible minute. When you try to talk to others about these issues, they just don’t get it. What if there is a valid reason why life always feels like an uphill battle, and the reason isn't that you're just "lazy"?
