Have anxiety, depression, addiction, isolation, anger management issues, self-harm, or suicide ideation left you feeling concerned about the quality of your life? Perhaps you’ve struggled to resolve these issues on your own, to no avail? Are you ready to take 100% responsibility for your life and committed to making the necessary changes? Due to my own inter-generational trauma, I have a first-hand understanding of where you are in your life’s journey. I’d like you to know that the act of reaching out for help is a deeply courageous act, especially for most men, as most of us are conditioned to self-isolate and suffer in silence.

I love supporting teens, young adults and adults on their journeys. I have extensive experience as a teacher, school counsellor, and as a mom (I have 4 young adult children). Life can feel exhausting and overwhelming at times, as we balance work-family-home-life, especially when challenges are thrown our way. When our kids struggle we struggle alongside them (and vice versa). Our relationships suffer. You may feel sadness, heartbreak, helplessness, worry and fear. Maybe you are feeling lost and lonely or you are not feeling fulfilled in your life. We all go through times in our lives, when we need to reach out for support.

As a Certified Psychotherapist, Counsellor and Supervisor, I believe every person has a right to share their story. I provide a safe environment where people can process and gain the insights and awareness they are seeking. I deal with the root issue(s), not just the symptoms of the problems that are presented. Many have no where to turn and feel trapped in their issues, whether shame, fear, loneliness, anger, or hurt. These feelings are often deep-rooted and have not been recognized, acknowledged and shared with someone non-judgmental. As we share our life stories with someone objective we are able to find the healing we need.

Reaching out requires a great deal of courage. I will be there for you every step of the way as we collaboratively embark on this journey together. I understand that you have valuable insights about your own life, and I am here to offer practical cognitive behavioral strategies that can assist you in addressing the concerns that led you to seek help.

I believe that each of us (from children, preteens, teenagers, young adults, adults, parents, and up) has within us the ability to learn to deal with life’s stressors and manage the way we deal with the trials and tribulations that life brings our way. As a mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend, and co-worker, I bring to my practice a blend of lived mental health/life experience, education and a holistic approach while maintaining the philosophy that we’re all capable humans and don’t have to go through difficult times alone.

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns. At some points, we can all experience difficult times and need help and support to guide us through. Experiences that have caused pain, anxiety, grief, loss, or shame can feel overpowering if left unrecognized. Working side by side with you on your journey is a privilege. My approach not only focuses on relief from distress, but also helps to develop new tools and clarity of thoughts and feelings through open exploration. A process that can ultimately open up greater inner strength, joy, self-compassion, and serenity.

As a practitioner for 26 years, I have come to appreciate that people and life are both wonderful and complicated. As such, my approach to therapy is to bring as much creativity as possible, in order to address individual needs and styles - I work with each person differently. For some, I use a CBT approach or give homework or teach skills. For others, I look more for insights into emotions or patterns.

I have been working with children, youth, families and individuals for the past 30 years in a wide variety of settings. While I am able to draw on this experience, I believe that each person is unique and the author of their own story. I use an integrative style that allows me to match the therapeutic approach to the needs and wishes of the client. Choosing a counsellor can be a difficult and life-changing decision so I offer a free consultation to allow individuals to make an informed choice.
