I can draft a sustainable parenting plan as part of a separation agreement, which can save you thousands of dollars.
Compassionate support is here! Now in-person and virtual! I have been of service to the community for over 20 years including working at a women's shelter, rape crisis centre, high schools, and hospices. I work with clients in the areas of couples, divorce/separation, policing/first responders, stress management, anxiety, depression, bereavement, blended/step-families, cross-cultural issues, and healthy relationships. I use solution focused techniques, somatic experiencing and mindfulness strategies to guide my clients to build their own "tool box" with skills to assist them through difficult emotions, situations and life events.

“Everyone wants to hold the new baby. Who holds the mom?” Motherhood is the ultimate personal development experience, but it can be a lonely one. Whether you are preparing for motherhood, struggling to conceive, feeling scared or unsupported in your pregnancy, experiencing birth trauma, or suffering with feelings of depression or anxiety as a new parent, mental health in the perinatal journey is just as important as physical health and recovery.

Life is short yet long; sometimes, happiness feels fleeting, and most of the time, we face various challenges: a family of origin, academic pressure, romantic relationships, marriage, parenting, career anxiety, illness, grief, life transitions, etc. When facing these big and small "hurdles," do you also find yourself pulled by different voices within, in need of a place where you can be seen and heard? Fate may play tricks on us, but who knows if this is not an opportunity for growth? I am willing to create a safe, warm space where we can listen to those voices, understand our different needs and find meaning in our experiences.

I am passionate to work with individuals and families who are going through life-stage transitions and experiencing emotional wounds, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, coping with loved ones with narcissistic traits, parenting and family issues, and immigration trauma. I believe that individuals are the experts of their life experience and have been trying their best to cope with their life challenges before seeking support. I also believe we all have the potential to overcome any obstacle in our lives.

We will work together as a team to reach your unique goals in a safe, empathetic, and compassionate environment.
