You are the expert in you, I’m here to help you explore yourself deeper - maybe to make connections you have not been able to. Clients from ages 12 to 100 will find space with me which is collaborative, individualized, nonjudgmental, and genuine. I work with individuals who may be struggling with mental health issues, relationships, trauma, etc., couples/relationships in need of repair, who want to ensure they are planning a healthy future together, who may be struggling to reconnect, or who want to ensure longevity for the relationship. If you are looking for only a few sessions or a longer-term connection, I can accommodate.

My focus of my practice is that of relationship counselling. Relationship to self, others and the world is extremely important for healthy living. When something gets in the way of good relationship then sometimes it is really important to have a third parties insight into what might be going wrong and how to make changes to overcome what might be standing in the way. I see children, teens, individuals, couples, and families. We offer: anger management, domestic violence, relapse prevention, weight loss, anxiety, depression, conflict resolution, trauma resolution and Christian counselling programs.

All the empathy and therapy I offer helps you answer one key weight loss question: "How will this time be different and work long-term?" I return all communications in one day.
I lost 100lbs and currently kept it off for eight years (I started August 15, 2012). I remember at my heaviest weight, I wanted to talk to someone who had been there, done that & understood I so badly wanted to change and my frustration at not changing. I wanted someone who could quiet my mind when it worried about my weight and help me gain control of my body and life. I know what it's like to start losing weight, only to abandon the effort shortly thereafter. If you repeat that pattern and put your health and quality of life at risk, then you likely feel that there are issues that need to be addressed psychologically - I can help!
