Distress and struggle are unique to each person, and so is healing! That's why we provide diverse modalities like low cost individual therapy, EMDR, craniosacral, career counselling, dietetics, neurofeedback, family therapy, reflexology, and more.
Whatever has brought you to this point has taken a toll. Life feels overwhelming, especially while others are leaning on you. Family issues, personal burdens, and troubles in the outside world pile up. It feels like too much. You’re feeling alone, and you’re not sure how you’re going to make it through. You're looking for rest and support, for resolution, and for a different way of managing everything.

Over the years I have supported a wide range of individuals through starting and growing a family, work stress, life transitions and stressors of working in agriculture.
Do you feel like counselling would be beneficial for you but you're not sure where to start or you've had a negative experience in the past? Perhaps you're trying to grow your family or are an expectant/new parent or someone who is navigating farm, work or family stressors? I get it, it can be really tough to reach out for support. You need someone to provide a safe place for you to feel heard, supported and understood. Someone who can work with you to identify your strengths and offer support in the areas you find a little more challenging.

Each challenging moment provides an opportunity to slow down, reflect and to integrate what life hands us. Sometimes this is messy, often it is hardship, but my hope is to walk alongside my clients and to see them through to what is next, hopefully with a renewed sense of strength, self-acceptance and awareness. I've worked for the provincial Eating Disorder Program, Family/Parenting Centre and in Community based Women's Health services. These experiences have provided me with a deep respect and admiration for my clients' strength and resilience.

Throughout my extensive and varied professional experience I have had the privilege to work with clients in many different contexts. Some of the topics and challenges I’ve helped clients with include anxiety, depression, family/parent conflict, relationship struggles, motivation, abandonment issues, boundary setting, shame, vulnerability, communication skills, anger, identity, gender, sexuality, trauma, suicidal ideation and substance use. I believe everyone has many examples of resilience in their life, which I work to celebrate and help clients build upon. I value safe and affirming care practices for all identities.

You deserve the opportunity to heal, grow, and feel more like yourself. I work with individuals experiencing persistent anxiety, major life transitions, and relationship difficulties. Through the therapy process, clients can expect to gain awareness in identifying and communicating emotions, learn how their past informs the present, and gain a deeper understanding of their relationship to themselves and to others.

I believe that therapeutic rapport is an essential part of a healthy therapist-client relationship. My goal is to help the client feel respected, safe and express unconditional positive regard so that therapy can be successful. I believe that the client is the best teller of their own stories. Based on this I find that the Person-centered approach is effective when working with a client. I am there to help encourage, support and guide the client through their own journey of self-discovery. I believe in acknowledging a persons strengths to help them achieve their goals.

I believe connections are the most important part of the human experience. Connections with the self, with others, with nature – all connections are crucial to wellness. It is from this perspective that I approach therapeutic practice. Influenced by attachment theory and postmodern approaches, I work primarily with collaborative and solution-focused methodologies. In summary, this means that I see you as the expert in your life, and myself as a skilled conversational partner who can help you to shift perspectives and reach your unique goals.

Family Therapy Counsellors
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
