My hope is to make you feel safe & connected as we work together. I recognize that coming to counselling isn't always an easy step, so I want to make the process as comfortable as possible. I believe people are wired for healing... the fact that you're here is proof of that. My aim is to help you explore the ways your past (experiences & relationships) has impacted the challenges you're facing in the present. Maybe you're suffering from anxiety, depression, or struggling with relationships. Perhaps there's a big transition or loss in your life. Maybe you feel like it's hard to make a change, but you know you need to.

Feeling stuck in a rut, unsure of your next move? Change is inevitable, often accompanied by fear and grief, steering our choices. Learning to navigate through it is crucial for finding harmony. Eventually, everyone encounters a crisis, whether internal or relational. Would finding a path to personal harmony matter to you?

“Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart” writes Fyodor Dostoyevsky. This quote, though inspiring, leaves much unexplained. How do we transform our experiences of pain and suffering (i.e. anxiety, grief, depression, relationship discord) into the beauty of a deeper heart? Marcel Proust provides a clue, “We are healed of a suffering only by experiencing it to the full”. Thus, the transformation of suffering comes through full experience. In a society that tends to bury suffering, a guide specializing in unearthing its hidden potential is key.

I help children struggling with emotional regulation, anxiety, self harm, aggression, social isolation, life changes, loss, traumatic events and neurodiversity.
Parenting is the most invested relationship one can partake in. There are many tasks and challenges involved in guiding little people towards becoming adults. Life can force families to face events that impact children's ability to feel safe and function successfully. This is when it becomes key to incorporate "it takes a whole community to raise a child", and I believe that people do the best they can with what they know. I have dedicated 23 years to helping children express their needs. And I can help increase your "knowing" so that we can enrich your child's relationships and increase their tolerance for the difficult stuff

Living with chronic pain and/or chronic illness can be a debilitating and uncertain experience that not only wreaks havoc on you emotionally and physically, but can leave you feeling invalidated and invisible. It can make you feel weighed down by an array of emotions such as sadness, anger, hopelessness, or anxiety, and at other times it can make you feel not much at all, stricken by a sense of emptiness, feeling lost or stuck. You may find yourself struggling with a deep sense of grief over all of the things your condition has stolen from you.

Accepting new clients! This is definitely not what you expected. You may have thought that everything would fall perfectly into place, that becoming or being a parent would be the most natural thing in the world. Now, you’re finding that the fears, the anxiety, the self-doubt, the grief over your old life, or the disconnection from your partner are ruling your mind. You might be having a tough time sleeping, noticing some scary thoughts popping up, and just getting through each day is a trial. You wonder if you’re really connecting with your partner or your child(ren). You might be wondering who you even are these days.

My clinical interests are helping people through depression and anxiety, religious trauma, chronic illness & pain, grief & loss, relationship issues, developmental/relational trauma, sexuality, identity and meaning.
A common misconception is that you need to hit "rock bottom" before you decide to seek counselling. There are numerous reasons why a person may choose to speak with a qualified professional; everything from taking preventative measures to addressing a full-blown crisis. Whether you're in a season of life where you're looking for insight, needing some guidance in making a shift or transition, wanting to change but not being sure how, hurting badly and feeling hopeless, carrying a burden of past traumas and memories, or in a crisis and you've reached your limit - counselling can help.
