What keeps us feeling like we are in limbo/stuck? Unresolved issues and traumas can keep us feeling and/or thinking that we are not progressing as we'd like, resulting in many feelings of being overwhelmed, burned out, and experiencing physical/emotional pains. Over 18 years of clinical experience, I can help you to discover and identify the core issues/patterns/beliefs, while inspiring hope and courage while you walk a more integrated path living life with more joy and abundance; with feelings of rejuvenation and release; and with an expanded self-awareness, emotional balance, and clearer thinking.

I use a compassionate and non-judgemental approach to clients from diverse cultural, spiritual, and relationship backgrounds. I have experience with members of the LGBTQ+ community as well as the polyamorous, and kink communities. Being an Indigenous woman I understand the issues that Indigenous people face and offer a culturally and trauma informed approach to counselling.

Many of my clients seek consultation with specific intentions or goals for therapy from the outset, while others reach out to clarify their position regarding life events. It is common for people to have multiple concerns that could benefit from therapy, but feel unsure of where to start. I also meet with people who are doubtful about the usefulness of therapy, yet are in search of a protected setting to work through one of life’s struggles.

I am passionate about empowering individuals to find strength and hope in their lives.

Are you dealing with disordered eating, negative body image, binge eating, food rules? I focus on helping individuals who wish to shift their relationship with their bodies, fostering an environment of body acceptance and self-compassion. I actively challenge the societal pressures of diet culture and the thin ideal, encouraging folks to redefine their self-worth beyond physical appearance. Through personalized discussions and therapeutic techniques, I support participants in embracing their unique bodies and cultivating a more neutral and affirming relationship with themselves and their bodies.

Many of my areas of practice are grounded in lived experience, which supports my ability to offer authentic compassion and empathy.

Life is busy and demanding, often throwing unexpected curve balls our way.

I do not believe in rushing toward an end goal, but rather taking time and space to understand what it is that has occurred and moving forward.

Many of my clients have experienced panic attacks, obsessive worry, anger, depression, low self esteem - that have been brought on or worsened by relationship difficulties and negative - even traumatic experiences. Life can be very hard - when feeling hurt, scared, or humiliated, our impulse is to withdraw from others, fight back, or pretend everything is okay. My clients have often found themselves stuck in these defensive modes. If you hope for change and are willing to reach out, please don't hesitate .... you are worth it!

Pain, heartache and suffering is not something anyone anticipates experiencing. When it comes out of no-where it may seem too unbearable to handle.

Whether it is the initial pain you are experiencing and/or years of wear and tear, please know that there is help available to you! I would be honoured to help you make sense of your experiences and take back control.
