Experiencing major life transitions or relationship challenges can feel overwhelming and isolating.

Whether you are looking to improve your relationships, focusing on personal growth, or healing from past wounds, you are in the right place. I believe that we have all that we need to heal ourselves within us, but sometimes we need the help of a compassionate person, such as a counsellor, in reconnecting to that part of ourselves. If you've been feeling isolated with your thoughts, emotions, and experiences, know that you are not alone even though it may seem that way at times.

I believe that the experiences we have in our inner and outer world teach us something about the world, ourselves, and others; and they contribute to the forming of often unconscious patterns in the way we think, feel, and act. These experiences can even be stored in the body/nervous system, otherwise known as trauma. In other words, our experiences help create a “map” that show us how to navigate uncertainty, relationships with others, and relationships with our selves. I believe that people come to therapy when those 'maps' are no longer working and need updating. That's where I come in!

*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.

I believe we're all trying to figure out how we can live better lives. Maybe you’ve realized you need to lower your stress & create more balance in your life.

You're ready to learn, heal, & grow & this time, you know you need a little support to make it happen.

Life has difficult seasons and at times there appears to be no rays of sunshine penatrating the dark clouds surrounding us. It is in these times, especially, we often ask the difficult questions like, "why God?" Will these hard-aches ever stop? Can positive change occur? It has been my personal experience through walking in seasons of darkness that light does continually shine but the heartache and pain often blocks our senses and even our faith gets tested beyond what we believe is sustainable. My goal as a counsellor is to encourage my clients to continue to seek practical and spiritual insight and watch how our eternal God moves.
