Are you or someone you love between the ages of 12-24 and seeking mental health support? You are not alone. We know it hasn’t been easy these past few years and we see the impact on youth mental health. Early intervention for youth is so critical for better health outcomes later in life. When youth are empowered towards a greater sense of wellness they interact with the world around them in a positive and dynamic way. Providing a safe space where youth can talk openly about their lived experiences as they work towards their mental health goals is transformative in itself.

My areas of expertise include: Sugar and food addictions, body image, weight issues, codependency, boundaries and relationship issues, and decluttering. I will work with all adults, but my happiest clients tend to be middle-aged women who struggle with food, eating, and weight and want to make some changes. Together, we uncover patterns and behaviours that keep us stuck and I use gentle accountability and teach self-compassion to move clients into lasting changes. Sometimes the amount of 'stuff' we have in our lives is overwhelming; I want to help you see things clearly to make last changes.

Are you facing a challenging time or coming to terms with feelings and emotions that seem heavy and difficult to understand? Are you struggling with stress, burnout or anxiety and feel overwhelmed? Do you wonder if life should somehow feel better? I see so many individuals who are feeling exhausted from trying to manage relationships, careers and their lives; who suffer from depression or a painful past and find themselves in repetitive thinking patterns making them feel stuck and uncertain about the future. I believe that taking time for yourself and exploring what it is that you need can get you closer to achieving your goals.

In addition to working with parents, I also have a passion for supporting women who are experiencing the emotional impact of pregnancy, PPMD, PDD and perimenopause/menopause.
Parenting isn’t easy and kids and teens don’t come with a handbook. We put high expectations on ourselves to be “good parents” and are often left feeling inadequate and overwhelmed. Kids' behaviour can be baffling and for parents whose child has received a mental health diagnosis wondering "what do we do now" are common. I created Thriving Families Counselling to provide a place in which parents could receive new understanding of their child or teen, explore how their own life experiences have influenced their approach to parenting and for families together to learn new ways to create healthy communication and functioning.
