Sometimes the human experience can be very painful. Living with interpersonal issues, depression, anxiety, the effects of trauma, or the ongoing issues caused by neurodivergent traits like ADHD or compulsions – can make us feel like “less” – less happy, less capable, less focused, less able to be there for our loved ones.

But things can be better!

It is possible to experience hope, joy, peace, and confidence!

My passion is to help you uncover the strengths and skills that you can use to address the issues causing disruption in your life. I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor who uses trauma- informed, Cognitive Behavioural and other evidence-based approaches. I work with both adults and teens to help you learn new ways of coping, communicating, and creating the life you want.

It takes a great deal of strength to seek out counselling because it can be hard to be vulnerable and reveal problems to another person. My goal in working with you is to provide a safe and welcoming environment in which we collaborate on moving you toward your goals. I approach each client session with an open mind, an attitude of curiosity, and a compassionate heart.!
