Mental health is of key importance in our lives, when someone realizes this and wants to work towards improving their own: half of the heavy lifting is done. I am here to help with the other half, until you can do it all and more on your own. Sometimes, we just need a little support, someone to hear us and give us perspective; to encourage us as we face the challenges in our lives. An interesting life has many challenges for us to grow as we deal with them: we endure, we persist, we overcome and we celebrate.

I take a holistic approach in my counselling therapy to address the core and fundamental needs of our lives, which are hope, happiness and love. If we are able to implement hope, happiness and love into our daily lives, we can achieve and maintain unlimited physical and mental health, high self esteem, personal and career success, and positive relationship with ourselves and others. If our daily lives lack hope, happiness and love, then we will face challenges in our physical and mental health, limitations in personal and career achievements, and problems with self-love and relationship with others.

Exercising our minds is one of the four important components of healthy aging and slowing the progression of cognitive decline. Creating stimulating activities for your loved one with dementia can be challenging, time-consuming, and add to caregiver burden. Our cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) program is an enjoyable evidence-based therapy consisting of 14 sessions over 7 weeks (delivered twice weekly). Robust research shows it can improve cognition, memory, language, and quality of life for those living with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early to mid-stage dementia.

Do you feel like your anxiety rules your mind and you have no control? You may constantly battle racing thoughts, struggling to focus, and feeling restless about various aspects of your life. While striving for excellence and witnessing others' success, you're often left feeling anxious, inadequate, and behind. Even when you perform well and receive praise, you still doubt your achievements, feeling unworthy or as though there's more you should be doing. It is incredibly challenging for you to communicate your feelings and needs to others because you feel guilty asking for help and fear you may burden others. But there's a way out.

You are often experiencing circular arguments, or a complete stand off when it comes to communicating, and it feels as if the love between you has all but disappeared. You are at a loss as to how to untangle the situation that you are in. Life is busy and stressful and something needs to change or your relationship could quite possibly be over. You want to feel the love again. You want to be able to talk to each other and be heard and understood. You want to wake up each day feeling calm and happy and excited for the future, knowing you and your partner are a team, in this journey of life together.
