I understand how difficult it can be searching for the right therapist. It's important to find the right fit because the therapeutic relationship is such an important part of counselling. For me, creating a non-judgmental space where you can express yourself openly and work towards personal growth is a priority. Through my client-centred approach, I recognize the importance of tapping into your strengths and building upon them. Counselling provides us the opportunity to explore meaning, strengths and new possibilities, and my role is to help facilitate this process.

You are a strong woman. It's something you can take pride in. You've been through hell and back more times than you can count. And you've lived to tell the tale. You're so giving of yourself to others, that you end up finishing last, and self-care tends to be what falls off the never-ending to-do list, making it impossible for you to get to. And perhaps now you're confronted with the reality that it's all too overwhelming. And you'd like for the world to just stop for a moment, just so you can have a little break. With more than a decade of experience, I've made it my mission to train and acquire the best possible tools.

Are you putting everyone else needs above your own? Are you an entrepreneur dealing with anxiety/stress? Are you a mom having trouble finding yourself back to you? Maybe you are struggling with baby blues? Or maybe you are "stuck" in a role, forgetting sometimes that you also are a person, a friend or a colleague? Do you sometimes find it difficult to manage your emotions when they reach the boiler point? Would you enjoy having more self-worth to love & invest in you as well? What about having more time for what truly lights your heart? Or do the things you promised you'll do "sometime later" while holding less guilt and shame ?

Are you feeling alone in your relationship, worrying that your needs will never be met? Despite your best efforts, you feel like your relationship is slipping away; words can’t seem to fully grasp how you’re feeling. You want to express yourself, but you worry that if you speak up things will get worse. In either situation, you may be asking yourself: am I the problem? You want to rekindle the feelings you once have. You want to feel seen, heard, and understood.
