Each one of us is connected to others through relationships - the vitality of these bonds is crucial for our well being. Yet, relating to others may at times seem like trying to crack a secret code. Do you struggle to have your needs met? Your voice heard? Or maybe you just want to be better understood by others? I believe learning to get what you need from others and from life is a process that starts with ourselves. I will be with you as we challenge the obstacles and bring decisions into line with your values.

Are you feeling down or anxious? We all, at some stage in our lives, may face difficult situations and life challenges. It may be related to our relationships, conflicts with family members, loss of a loved one, adaptation, education, or illness. Facing these challenges may lead us to lose hope and focus on daily life tasks and routines. These feelings may lead us to think, nothing will ever change or get better, or there is no bright tomorrow in our future. What’s important is the way we view things and with whom we can share our most personal thoughts, feelings, and fears. I'm here to support you in a non-judgmental way.

As a practitioner, I recognize that everyone’s situation is unique. I believe healing and growth comes from awareness, which can be achieved collaboratively in a safe, non-judgmental environment. I chose a career in counselling because I love listening to people's life stories, brainstorming new perspectives and exploring paths to healing. I work with children, adults, and seniors, and have experience counselling First Nations individuals. My counselling approach addresses a variety of circumstances, with a particular emphasis on alleviating anxiety and depression.

My desire to serve the community in which I grew up in, has always been important to me. I have worked at overdose prevention sites, harm reduction residential facilities, suicide crisis lines, and employment family assistance program (EFAP). It’s been a privilege to work with such a diverse range of clients. Having lived experience as a first responder, I am aware of how trauma can profoundly impact the mind and body.

Looking for a counsellor or trauma therapist? Not sure where to start? Are you wanting to make changes, feel more at ease or comfortable in your body? Many of the people I work with have experienced painful things, either in childhood, adolescence, adulthood or throughout their life and it’s affected how they feel now. Sometimes it is numbing or quick to anger. The journey of becoming whole and healing can be started in a caring, safe space that is created in counselling.

As a parent, you are the one who knows your child best. If you are reading this, I trust that you have been doing your best all along--you are just temporarily lost about how to relate with or help your child. May be you have been observing one or more of these behaviours in your child: aggression, anger, lethargy, or anxiety. The list could go on. You have tried to seek advice from the teachers or other parents; you research parenting advice or strategies. Somehow, your child continues to struggle. You are exhausted from trying to cope and being supportive.
