My career in social services has given me the rare opportunity and privilege to accompany others throughout much of life’s journey--from the miracle of birth, as an adoption advocate to helping senior populations and their families as a counsellor managing long term care and end of life issues. One of the universal truths that I have learned is that struggle and adversity is an inescapable part of the human experience. Rather than let these challenges destroy you, my role is to help you on your journey to grow and work through the hardships of life and become the healthiest and happiest version of yourself.

Finding the right therapist can be exhausting. This one is too hard. That one is too soft. It sounds like something out of Goldilocks and the Three Bears doesn’t it? You’re likely browsing this profile because your past has been painful. Maybe you’re feeling stuck – unable to move forward. Maybe it feels like your emotions are more in control of you than you are of them. Or maybe you fluctuate between feeling disconnected and shut down to feeling completely on edge. If any of this sounds familiar, then you and I might be the right fit.

I believe that everyone is full of innate goodness and has the capacity to change. We are all valuable and deserve love, compassion, and acceptance. I believe we have the power to take hold of our lives. We can’t always change our circumstances, but we can change the way we view ourselves and our environment. I believe in the whole person, and through empathy and unconditional self-regard, I treat my clients with compassion and respect. I provide a safe, loving, non-judgmental environment so that we can explore ways to overcome obstacles and challenges. Sometimes, we just need to know we have someone in our corner rooting for us.

I specialize in trauma therapy for both children and adults. With a deep understanding of how trauma can impact individuals differently, I work with clients who have experienced both "big T" traumas, such as abuse, severe accidents, or significant loss, and "little t" traumas, which include everyday stressors or smaller, yet impactful, life events. I believe in creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel empowered to explore their emotions and experiences. I am dedicated to helping individuals to heal and live their best life.

Is fear sucking the fulfillment from your life? Maybe you’re missing out on things you wish you could do. Do you often feel revved up? Or maybe you feel you relate to Bob from “What About Bob?” a little too closely – cold sweats, hot sweats…blurred vision, involuntary trembling, dead hands, numb lips. We laugh, but the reality is, it’s not fun. Eventually some may crash. You’re tired. It’s exhausting to maintain this state. After prolonged periods, some may slip into a low. Things don’t seem as colorful as they used to. Everything seems a little dull. Literally and figuratively. In either case, you want to feel better.
