Life can bring unforeseen deviations. Relationships fall apart; failure; depression; anxiety and disappointments can occur at an time. My specialization is individual, couples, family, and youth counselling, and I offer flexibility in scheduling. I come from an integrative approach when assisting clients and believe in honoring the dignity of all people and the inherent value of an individual’s story as it unfolds. I specialize in faith-based violence and religious oppression that can happen to individuals through organizations and family systems.

In my practice, I believe that change, growth, and healing is possible for everyone. I see counselling as a collaborative process where the counsellor and the client work together to develop perspective and understanding.

I am wildly enthusiastic regarding conversations that lead to the deepening of insight into ourselves. As a practitioner of Vipassana Meditation (Mindfulness) I am always searching for new ways to ask questions and deepen the self inquiry of my clients. I am also interested in conversations that illicit a deep knowing of our inherent ability to preserve dignity, maintain safety and stand up to adversity with resilience and strength.

It is inevitable that at some point in our lives we will all experience stress in one of its many forms. Difficulties with relationships, jobs, loss, health, trauma and even the relentlessness of a fast-paced lifestyle can lead us to feel overwhelmed and even helpless. Our bodies are designed to allow us to cope with the typical stressors that we come up against in daily life. Unfortunately, the systems we use to manage challenges sometimes become overwhelmed or fail to function in an optimal manner, this can lead to symptoms that can be difficult to manage alone.
