I have worked in the field of Social Services since 2007 in a variety of different settings. I have had the privilege of working with a diverse population of children, teenagers, young expectant parents, adults and seniors. Most recently I have worked with seniors and their families providing compassionate support during life transition of retirement, loss, illness and caregiver stress. Finding and accessing needed resources can be challenging, overwhelming and frustrating. I can help you navigate through this journey. I use practical, manageable strategies to help you cope/manage life worry, stressors, anxiety and depression.

For life to be full and meaningful we have to identify the unique mix of elements that are congruent with our context/reality, our relationships, our true self and our purpose. I work with men and seniors on issues of life purpose / meaning, loss and grief and relationships. I am here to walk beside you, to help you live a life of your own design so you can say yes to life. I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC) with the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists.

My work experience has mostly been counselling with adults (and seniors) with different mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, work stress, and stress from life issues.
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).

Tired of behaving or reacting from unconscious patterns? Looking to understand your behaviours and where they come from? Want to learn to have more compassion for yourself and others? Let's start with the inner-standing that everybody has fears, beliefs and rules for how they "should" be. Comprehending these narratives allows for compassionate curiosity around the origins and purposes of these stories that fuel our behaviours. Holistic exploration of these dialogues, can result in feeling and reacting differently and providing folks with new tools to move forward to overcome specific problems.

My intention in therapy is to keep it meaningful and simple; that each person walks away with something practical that can be used right away to ameliorate suffering for yourself and in your relationships. Being a creative person, there is rarely a session without some incorporation of art, play, or experiential technique. I aim to be a facilitator of healing, facilitator meaning “to make easy”. What better way to make something easy then through fun and creativity? Prior to licensing as a therapist I worked in leadership. I have a passion for burnout prevention, compassion fatigue, and the working wounded.
