For over 40 years I've worked with individuals, couples and groups facing a full range of the many challenges that life presents such as: depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, couple conflicts, all manner of traumas etc. My clientele includes people from all walks of life, ages, sexual preferences, ethnic and religious backgrounds. In addition, I provide consultation and counselling to those wanting to optimize their talents and abilities. I see clients as social, physical, intellectual and spiritual beings, thus all of these areas are potentially addressed in our work together.

It is my firm belief that everyone deserves someone to talk to, and to pour out what has been long kept in their heart, body, mind, spirit, and soul. It is with that belief, that I offer my skills, and trained ear as a counselor, in order to help you navigate through this situation that you are finding yourself going through. You are never alone. Although it may feel like this at this very moment, you are stronger than you think that you are. Real strength, in my opinion, is being able to be vulnerable, being able to disclose a hidden problem or area of great pain, and to deal with this 'head on', and with someone who can help you.

How do you find the best counsellor for you? This is a difficult choice and often being open and communicating with your counsellor will ensure optimal healing. I come from an acceptance of where you are in your journey. I do not believe the goal of counselling is “counselling itself”, but to find a way to move forward in your journey. "To feel safe with other people is probably the single most important aspect of mental health” (Bessel Van der Kolk, 2014).

Sexuality, intimacy, identity. Addiction and recovery. Relationships and connection. Grief and loss. So many of us wonder how to live in our skin comfortably. Who are you, and how do you want to live? The next question is how to bring that authenticity into your life, your relationships, your communication. Sometimes our bodies don't connect with our hearts and minds. Erotic and sexual diversity is a part of the human experience. If you're struggling with shame, belief patterns that no longer serve, or wondering if you're alone - there is hope.

In over thirty years working as a psychologist, I have become convinced that the most effective way to help others is through a collaborative approach. When the client and therapist work together to find solutions, the emphasis is placed on the client’s individual perspective and the strengths and successes they have already achieved. At the core of therapy, I believe, is a non-judgemental and compassionate view of how everyone’s personal journey involves overcoming suffering and moving towards self-acceptance, empowerment and emotional well- being. I also provide Supervision for therapists.

I WELCOME ALL OF YOU who are ready to make deep and lasting changes in your life to find fulfillment, meaning, new skills and appreciation. I believe that each one of us is on a journey of recovery, healing, repairing, growing and learning how to manifest authentically and creatively. I also believe that the individual personal work we do directly impacts those in our life and our society at large. I know that we need to be connected to our families, neighbours, communities to find health. Similarly, we need to honour our land, our resources and all sentient beings. I look forward to meeting you in person or at a distance.

The most important element in any counselling relationship is the development of a trusting, therapeutic alliance. Together, we can pinpoint the obstacles that prevent you from thriving and develop strategies to remove them. Healing can be complex, and everyone's experience is different. I don't apply a "cookie cutter" approach to my practice. My core belief is that we all have strengths of which we are sometimes unaware. Whether your healing journey relates to trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, low self-esteem or addiction, I will be a committed partner in it. You are not alone.

If you are wondering if your life is "on the right path," you are not alone. Support and awareness in times of change means that the change process reflects your values and hopes for life. Therapy includes understanding two kinds of stories: the external stories that are told about us (usually these are very unfair!) and the internal stories that emerge in response (usually these are overly protective!). I will help you to understand your Self and all the parts of who you are, increasing your ability to generate inner wells of autonomy, confidence and peace. With this knowledge, you're equipped to manage whatever life throws at you.

Going through separation and divorce is a rough process. The yelling, the tears or the fights that happen in the house is keeping you up at night and/or make you worry about your future. It is already difficult to discuss what belongs to who at this point, not to mention there are children involved. You want your children to be ok, but not sure how. Things that your partner said or did in the past seem to be stuck in your head and make you angry or sad. You want peace, you want no conflict and a way out of this emotional disaster. Talk to me, I am here to listen.

You might feel trapped in a cycle of emotional exhaustion. Trusting others may seem impossible after past hurts, leaving you yearning for connection yet keeping people at a distance. If codependency has taken over, you might be so focused on others that your own needs have been forgotten, draining your energy and sense of self. And perhaps the fear of aging brings a constant anxiety about what lies ahead. These struggles are real, and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed. But imagine waking up each day feeling truly secure in your relationships, confident in your identity, and hopeful about the future.
