Starting counselling can feel overwhelming and making that first move can be the toughest part. I believe we are not meant to face life’s challenges alone, especially during tough times. My role is to walk alongside you, offering support as we uncover what brought you to counselling. Our work together will be collaborative, tailored to meet you where you are and allow you to move forward at your own pace. I take an integrative therapeutic approach that welcomes all parts of you. I focus on integrating mind, body, emotion, and spirit, while also considering the social, cultural, and familial influences that shape your story.

I truly believe treatment is a partnership between counsellor and client and will work with you to design an effective plan that recognizes your personal strengths and challenges. I use warmth, humour, and authenticity in my approach to make each client feel comfortable and to build a strong, positive therapeutic connection. I have experience using creative methods, such as games and movement activities, to connect with younger clients and spark their interest in the counselling process. I also support individuals with neurodiversity and their families.

Accepting Clients Online. Clients often come to me experiencing heartbreak, confusion, exhaustion, brain fog, and rumination due to grief. When they are struggling to cope with their loss and how different the world feels, they are tired of trying to explain how they feel because many people in their lives don't understand. I get it. As a therapist and a griever, I know what it’s like to try to cope in a world that has been shattered while everyone else goes about their daily lives like nothing has happened. I offer compassionate, down-to-earth sessions where you can share your grief. You don't have to do this alone.

I engage with people experiencing challenges with life transition issues: middle age, education, career, family, separation, gender transition, fertility, depressive periods, moving, death, physical changes, illness…etc. Life transitions, although always inevitable and often unsettling, offer opportunities for insight, change, growth, wisdom and joy. I fundamentally believe that if you do the work, you will get the insights you need to make the best choices for yourself.

What a courageous step you're taking, to reach out for help. I honour what you've been through to bring you to this moment. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed with life and trying to "hold it all together", or maybe your needs are falling to the bottom of the priority list. Maybe you notice patterns in your life that keep repeating such as perfectionism, negative self-talk, destructive behaviours, unsatisfying relationships, or mindlessly distracting yourself. If you yearn to: know and trust yourself more deeply, be more gentle and tender with yourself, and feel the freedom to be yourself, I am here to support your journey.

Is the world too loud, fast-paced, and overwhelming? Do you feel things more deeply and notice subtleties that others miss? Being part of a society that is not designed for those with high sensitivity can often lead to anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. Trying to “keep up” to those with a majority temperament may leave you feeling burned out and unable to show up for yourself and those you love in the ways that you want and deserve. Learning to understand your unique expression of this innate trait allows for you not only to survive, but to thrive and see the beautiful gifts of being a highly sensitive person (HSP).

As a Registered Art Therapist and Counsellor I work with youth/adults who might be seeking a less traditional approach to healing. Perhaps we don't want to talk about it? It might feel more possible to come up alongside with marks or movement to explore, release and reframe in new ways. To be gentle and curious in our transformation.

I have been working as a registered psychologist since 2008. It's important to me to create a safe, caring respectful environment where anyone, no matter who they are, feels welcome. The relationship between us is one of the most important factors in determining how helpful counselling with me will be. Clients often come to me with anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences, difficulties with life transitions, and grief or loss. We will work together to develop a plan to deal effectively with the issues that bring you to see me. (Can also contact by Fax: 250.984.0859)
