Everyone has unique experiences, challenges, and goals. I believe in the power of individual therapy, where personalized support and guidance can help you navigate your journey towards healing and personal growth.

I provide counselling to individual adults and teens facing a variety of challenges including anxiety and stress, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, and chronic illness and pain. I am calm, compassionate and experienced. I’ve worked in the field for over 20 years and provide confidential services in a caring and supportive environment.

I have provided psychotherapy, counselling and coaching since 1996. I have worked with a diverse population with many types of issues and challenges. My passion is helping individuals, couples and families to thrive; and helping leaders and organizations to excel. I provide a safe and confidential place where problems can be shared, solutions identified, barriers overcome, progress achieved and success celebrated. I primarily use client-centered, solution-focused and cognitive behavioural approaches.

Have you ever felt like you needed to do “more” or be “more” in order to feel like you are “enough?” Overwhelmed by guilt if you have needs of your own? Or believe if you did acknowledge YOU in relationships it could end in abandonment, disappointment or being alone? You may have learned to relate to yourself in this way for as long as you can remember and does not mean you are “broken” in need of being “fixed”. When we remove judgment and begin to see our “true self” through the lens of curiosity we get to reconnect with who we have always wanted to be but was too afraid to try.

Everyone’s story matters. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to begin the process of unpacking and understanding your own story. Perhaps your story is just beginning and you’re struggling to figure out who you are, who you want to be, what's most important to you. Perhaps your story has left you with a negative sense of self and unfulfilling relationships that seem to continually let you down. Or perhaps your story has left you feeling ineffective, overwhelmed and insecure. My ideal clients are motivated to write new chapters in their lives, and it's my sincere honour to be able to support them on their journey.

Have you been struggling with the same issues for a period of time? Have you tried different things but it just doesn't seem to make a difference? Have you been thinking maybe it's time to get another perspective on some things in your life? As each individual is unique, so is the therapy. Your counselling sessions will consist of a collaborative process of developing mutually defined goals and identifying the process that best serves you. Custom Counselling can provide you with that perspective that can make a difference and help with those issues with which you have been struggling.

Are you seeking a supportive outlet to address childhood issues, navigate traumatic events, manage anger spells, and alleviate feelings of depression or anxiety? If so, I invite you to explore healthier alternatives than the temporary relief found in alcohol, shopping sprees, or excessive consumption of adult content. If you've found yourself preoccupied with non-medical drug use or starting your day with a sweet treat to trigger a rush of dopamine, it may be time to examine these patterns. Discover how to regain control over your thoughts and emotions, and explore the connection between your behaviours and past experiences.

Are you disappointed with how you are showing up in your relationship? Are you struggling to manage your emotions and often find yourself blowing up, shutting down, or fixing during conflict?

I want to help you learn more about yourself so you can better relate to others and communicate your needs from a grounded place so that you can break the cycle you find yourself stuck in.

We all struggle sometimes. We feel uncertain and overwhelmed, we get stuck. It’s a completely normal part of life, and there is no need to go through it alone. When we experience these uncomfortable feelings, we can feel disconnected from our relationships, experiences, and life in general. Our mental spotlight shines more brightly on our challenges, leaving the good parts often in the dark. I offer a safe environment to explore your life experiences, challenges, and needs through open and authentic connection. I invite you into a deeper conversation.

I seek to serve my clients in a manner which honors the whole person; body, mind and spirit.

My varied expertise enables me to offer specialized therapeutic tools and skills to reflect and meet the needs and uniqueness of each person.

Are you feeling like your emotions are getting the better of you too often? Maybe you know the root cause or maybe you are confused about all the ups and downs you are experiencing. When big feelings start to impact your wellbeing, relationships and the quality of your day to day, it can be reassuring to know that there is a lot you can do to feel in charge of yourself again.

Our responses to internal and external factors in our lives determine our mental state. When these reactions are negative, we develop mental struggles, especially if we think they are the absolute truth. I am happy to accompany you in this journey to help you overcome your mental issues. All you need to do is believing in change and in the benefit of psychotherapy. It is crucial to have a faith in yourself and to have a non-biased stance towards your mental state and psychotherapy. For more info about me and my practice: www.ahealingsoul.ca

Many people have found themselves in the exact place you now find yourself – wondering if they should seek the guidance of a professional counsellor for personal, marital or family problems. Here are some of their uncomfortable self-reflections: “Tensions always hover over my relationship with my partner.” “I want to be a better parent.” “I do not look forward to going to work anymore.” “My partner and I keep getting stuck when we try to talk about our problems.” “I want to enjoy being a parent, but often I do not.” “I want to feel happiness and gratitude for my life and the people in it, but I cannot get there.”

I have over 10 years of experience and specialize in anxiety, mood disorders, and substance use concerns using trauma-informed treatment. I also have a strong interest supporting individuals who have experienced spiritual psychosis and other atypical experiences of consciousness. I view everyone as comprised of mind, body, and spirit. We all share common pains in life and these experiences (past and present) change us. Life traumas can cause us to identify with a false version of ourselves. Coming to know your self creates greater authenticity and freedom.

We’ll do more than just talk; I'll give you homework to help you practice skills and learn more about yourself.

Therapy shouldn't feel like a chore. While it might sometimes be hard to hear what is discussed in therapy, overall you should leave feeling like you've gained something useful or even transformative. Over time, you should feel you are getting stronger, more resilient and have shed layers of fear and anxiety. Of course this process can be overwhelming at times and you might not always progress on the timeframe that you thought you would, but when therapy goes well, you should feel more settled and more clear about your life. You should gain understanding about yourself and others and have a renewed sense of purpose and passion
