Perhaps you are here because you need relief from your pain and disparagement and you long for the joy and peace you see others living with. Grief, trauma, anxiety, broken relationships, and disconnection with those you love most is exhausting. With more than just relief for your symptoms, I believe that you can overcome your current difficulties, redefine your relationships, and cultivate the best version of yourself. There has been much research garnered around neuroscience, trauma, and attachment that gives us insight into real interventions and strategies to help individuals heal, grow, and live in a place of discovery and hope.

As a Certified Psychotherapist, Counsellor and Supervisor, I believe every person has a right to share their story. I provide a safe environment where people can process and gain the insights and awareness they are seeking. I deal with the root issue(s), not just the symptoms of the problems that are presented. Many have no where to turn and feel trapped in their issues, whether shame, fear, loneliness, anger, or hurt. These feelings are often deep-rooted and have not been recognized, acknowledged and shared with someone non-judgmental. As we share our life stories with someone objective we are able to find the healing we need.

Welcome! Modern-day motherhood is often painted as a beautiful and purely joyous season of life; this myth can leave both mothers and fathers vulnerable to the unexpected events, uncertainty, stress and worry that can occur along the path to and through parenthood. The truth? Parenthood is comprised of both magical moments and challenging hiccups; parental support is essential. My virtual practice provides individual counselling to mothers (and their partners) residing in British Columbia, Canada. Treatment is available from pre-conception, through fertility, loss, pregnancy, birth, the postpartum year, and into early parenthood.

Anxiety has become one of the most prominent mental health issues in the world. The fast-paced world that we live conditions many of us to believe that high anxiety levels are the norm and while healthy levels of stress can keep us motivated. Excessive and ongoing feelings of anxiety and worry can negatively impact both our health, and our ability to function at an optimal level. Often, these feelings stem from our past and appear in our present – negatively impacting our daily life.

*CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS - ONLINE ONLY** Life can be unpredictable and challenging, which often causes uncomfortable emotions, anxiety, and changes in mood. This is also common when we transition though different stages of life, and it can impact our self-identity. This is really common as we age into new phases of life and our roles, responsibilities, and expectations change. Not only are these life events challenging for us, they are challenging for the people around us to adapt to as well.
