When life feels fractured — through conflict, loss, or major transition — I help individuals, couples, and families move toward clarity, stability, and renewed harmony. I work with challenges such as marital strain, family conflict, parent-child relationships, and the pressures that can disrupt family life. I also support clients through bereavement, care of the elderly, and the wider emotional challenges that arise across different life stages. Sessions are available in person in Edenvale, or online via Zoom or Teams — whichever works best for you.
As a CPSC-accredited Christian counsellor, accredited family and divorce mediator, and parenting coordinator — and a pastor in the Order of Christian Service — I bring clinical, pastoral, and mediation expertise to every session. I also support clients through pet loss, a grief that is real but often goes unacknowledged.
Renewed Living is built on a simple conviction: that healing is possible when people are given an honest, unhurried space to work through what is weighing on them. If you are ready to move from turmoil to harmony, I would be glad to be part of that process. It begins with a single conversation — reach out when you are ready.

My approach integrates scripture-based wisdom with practical tools for communication, conflict resolution, and emotional resilience — collaborative, structured, and warm. I will not tell you what to do; I will listen carefully, ask honest questions, and work with you toward something better. Sessions are in person or online. Whatever you carry in, you will be met with genuine care.
