As an RCC, my practice is focused on helping individuals, couples, and families who feel stuck and powerless, and desire to move forward on their healing journey with a positive mindset. With warmth, empathy, and concern, I work with adults and youth with mental health concerns stemming from childhood trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and relational trauma, and women who are victims of gender-based violence. I provide counselling to address the impact of trauma that manifests as self-esteem issues, addictions, BPD, family issues, grief and loss, and bicultural identity crises, acculturative stress, and life transitions.

The largest comfort that counselling can bring is space for connection. Connection back to yourself, your relationships and the world around you. The counselling experience is tailored to your specific needs in efforts to achieve health, balance and happiness. You set the pace at which you feel most comfortable with, whether that's jumping into the deep end right away and tackling the hard stuff or gently wading in the shallow end. It's your journey & your timeline.

I know that it takes a lot of courage to reach out for help at times when we feel distressed, overwhelmed, vulnerable, confused, wrought with sadness, shame, hurt, guilt, intense worry... Some of us have been told or made feel that we do not deserve better, or that we are not good enough, or smart enough, or thin enough, or strong enough, or funny enough... Sometimes we seek refuge in food, alcohol, drugs, sex, or self-harm to cope with the belief that we can never feel differently about ourselves or the world.

Not all Binges are a Choice. The exact cause of BED is unknown, but chemicals in the brain, family history and certain life experiences may play a role in Binge Eating Disorder. BED often begins in the late teens or early 20s. BED affects slightly more women than men. About 40% of those with BED are male. I believe we “know” when our eating behavior is off and that dieting will not resolve the underlying anxiety. There is help, I’ve been there.

I believe in a non-judgemental person centered form of counselling. In particular, I work with children and youth who identify as neurodivergent. Together with parent(s)/and/or caregiver(s) I provide support and care for the daunting challenges that can occur when a person is neurodivergent. I have been working in the school system for over 21 years. I have experience working with children and youth from ages 5-17 as a support teacher and school counsellor. I understand the importance of providing a safe, caring, and secure relationship with all students but particularly with neurodiverse children.

Situations can come up that are overwhelming and debilitating; this does not mean you are weak or lesser than for struggling with your mental health. My approach is to work on a style of therapy most applicable to you. For these reasons and more I don't rely on one tool or model of therapy. My method is to trickle in different areas of psychology simultaneously. If something isn't working for you we implement another strategy. The goal is to get to the heart of what is distressing you and what is preventing you from living a life more in line with your goals and values.

When anxiety, stress, depression, burnout, sleep issues, chronic illness & pain, and relationship issues are interfering, how to get through the everyday can feel so frustrating, exhausting, depleting, and chaotic. Most of my clients don’t really know how they got to this state, or how to get out of or through it. But people who are at a place of wanting change things and who are willing to trust the therapy process towards having a different life really do find counselling helps with building capacity, control, self care, skills, routine, and supports.

For many of us, we can feel stuck in our lives and reach a point where we just don't want to keep doing the same things over and over again. We may feel stuck in the ways we cope with everyday situations, or feel frustrated in our relationships, or angry or depressed about past hurts and losses. Counselling can help individuals and couples discover new ways of coping with emotional and mental health issues by helping you navigate the ups and downs of life.
