“Reaching out for help and guidance shows strength, and I always appreciate clients’ strength as well as their curiosity and willingness to grow. I genuinely wish for all my clients to feel safe, heard, and respected so that the healing work can begin.

My own challenging background allows me to bring meaningful depth and understanding to the counselling setting and your unique obstacles. Working from a solution-focused, narrative, or art therapy perspective, I can help guide you towards what you are seeking. Additionally, I pull from mindfulness, spirituality, and holistic health as appropriate for each individual.”

“As individuals, we each have a unique set of values that guide us. We may or may not be aware of what these values are, and they may shift over time and with experience. I believe that by understanding what is most important to us we have an opportunity to use this information to manage our thoughts, beliefs, and behaviour in a way that allows peace of mind and authenticity, which in turn leads to a meaningful life. Using our values to direct our choices and ground us in who we are can allow us to overcome challenges and put us on a path to becoming our best selves..”

Do you often get a sense that there’s much more to you than what you’re tapping into? That you’re capable of so much more, but feel blocked, or just can’t find the motivation or resources to get where you want to be? At work or in your relationships, this could be showing up as a big sense of distraction — even though you’re doing so much, it seems like you’re getting nowhere. You have high hopes and big dreams, but feel disconnected. Something might feel “off” and it’s hard for you to feel motivated to keep going through motions that no longer seem to make much sense.

“I believe that everyone has the ability to make positive changes in their lives. It is my privilege to support individuals on this otherwise daunting task. Through a collaborative therapeutic relationship built on compassion and empathy, we can embark on this journey towards healing.

I strive to create a collaborative relationship with my clients and emphasize authenticity in my practice. I believe in exploring contextual factors to determine sources of psychological distress, such as factors within an individual’s environment and broader society. I believe in exploring a person’s strengths to help them develop skills that can be applied to areas of life where they are struggling.”
