Online only as I am relocating up the west coast. Are you experiencing anxiety or panic attacks, ranging from general anxiety which you can't pinpoint, to full on attacks that make you feel as though you are dying? Do you have relationship issues with a family member or loved one, so you feel unappreciated or disrespected? Are you feeling overwhelmed and confused, or perhaps you question decisions you made? Does an incident in your past prevent you from moving forward? Do you feel intimidated by life in general, or by the people around you? Are you experiencing burnout and you don't know where to turn? I can help you!
I am a qualified counsellor who provides emotional support to those experiencing difficult life changes. I offer insight, care and guidance to empower individuals, facilitate behaviour change, improve relationships and develop healthy coping mechanisms. I am not a psychologist so I cannot diagnose or work with mental health disorders.
I am married with three adult children and two adult stepsons. I am broadminded and compassionate and really enjoy getting to know my clients! While I am respectful and conscious of not harming my clients, I do ask probing questions to facilitate self awareness, thus creating opportunities for personal growth. Let me walk beside you!

I love teaching clients how to set boundaries as this goes a long way in alleviating anxiety and depression. Healthy interpersonal relationships can be maintained when clear boundaries have been set. I work with couples on a regular basis, but I also enjoy working with non-romantic relationships.

In our first session, I will gather a little background history before we chat about your reason for seeking therapy. This will help us decide on the best way forward. DBT is very useful because it helps us explore how our thoughts, emotions and behaviours influence each other, but also how to regulate our emotions in order to prevent harmful or destructive behaviours.
