For 20+ years I have worked with a variety of issues and concerns around mental health, relationships and challenging life circumstances.
You have likely encountered some challenging times recently, or else you wouldn’t be here. Feeling stuck and not knowing how to move forward? You may not know where that journey will take you, but I can help be your personal guide. I believe my main role is to help observe and facilitate your personal journey. Imagine a life of clarity, love and freedom from the negative thoughts or emotions that fill your head and binds you. Imagine waking up every day feeling in control of whatever might come your way; knowing that you have the internal strength to deal with and manage it. Imagine being the best version of YOU.

There are many losses in life that go totally unnoticed or unacknowledged leaving us feeling isolated and alone.
Loss is not just limited to death loss, although that might be what brought you here. Loss includes the loss of our pets, our health, an important relationship, our work. Society tells us that even with death loss we can be cured and should “get over it” as soon as possible. I believe there is no moving on from, there is moving on with grief. For anyone experiencing loss, there is a better way and that is to learn to companion our loss and give it a place in our lives. We companion our loss by talking about it, giving it meaning and allowing it room to exist.

Many of the problems we experience in life can be traced back to parts of ourself that are wounded or not properly integrated. I help you to reflect and make sense of your experience, and to work through areas of your life that bring discomfort. In moving through these discomforts/stuck areas in a new way, you release these wounds, become free from their grasp & move into more aligned, embodied & authentic living. We cannot fully integrate (become whole in our life) unless we heal and integrate all parts (this includes shadow work, healing parental and childhood wounds, ego work, sacred sexuality, reprogramming belief systems).

As a holistic therapist, I specialize in blending multiple counselling approaches such as DBT, CBT, and ACT, among other techniques and tools, and I provide support for various challenges in life.
I believe in creating a space where you feel genuinely seen and accepted for who you are, no matter where you are in your journey. Therapy is about offering you a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. There’s no rush to "fix" or "figure out" anything — instead, we’ll take the time needed to get to the heart of what’s keeping you feeling stuck, all while honoring your unique process. My practice is neurodivergent-affirming, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and I’m committed to anti-oppressive, culturally responsive care that honours unique intersectional identities.

If you feel unhappy with where you’re at in your life and don’t want to burden others with your problems, therapy can help. Feeling that you are not alone and that someone understands you is critical to starting to feel better. Even though it may not feel like it right now, you can become stronger and feel better.

Life and relationships can be challenging. Whether it is your relationship with your spouse, partner, friend, teenager, or child it takes work to make a strong, lasting and healthy relationships work. Finding hope in what seems to be a hopeless situation sometimes requires support, encouragement and assistance to envision a future with promise and possibilities.

I am a compassionate, understanding, non-judgmental counsellor who believes everyone has the right to wellness and balance. I provide insurance-friendly counselling for individuals, couples, families and children. My special area of focus is in helping my clients to free themselves from their painful, traumatic pasts and to achieve personal balance and wellness as they create a fresh start in life. Often, emotional and physical pain is resolved from the inside out as my clients and I interact, and as we work together to arrive at a deeper understanding of their condition and the solutions they seek.

Navigating through life can be challenging with the struggles we face such as, but not limited to, aversive life events, unwanted changes, uncertainties about the future, loss of a loved one, conflicts in relationships, and becoming your authentic self. Much of these life struggles throw an imbalance to our mental health wellness, causing difficult emotions to arise that seem to permeate through and taint every aspect of our lives. These challenging times may feel endless, and you may feel lost, but know that you are never alone.

Life Coaching Counsellors
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
