You dream of having a wonderful, meaningful life, and having it all together. But reality looks very different than this. You feel stuck, not going forward, and desperate for answers. Coping for you involves distracting yourself, pushing away the discomfort, hoping things will magically sort themselves. But they don't. Everything just overruns you again, making you feel powerless. And you get lost in this space where you are so discouraged, have no motivation, and you cannot think your way towards a place where you can breathe again. If this sounds familiar, then I'd love to help.

I have lived experience with rehabilitation from serious illness and injury. One day, out of the blue, my life was turned upside down. I can therefore listen to you and hear about your situation from a practical, not only a theoretical or clinical perspective.

I work with adolescents and adults to help them resolve difficulties or problematic patterns they are struggling with. These may include issues with mood, anxiety, relationships, or work. You may not be able to put your finger on it, yet know there is a problem that is getting in the way of leading a fulfilling life. You may have tried everything you can think of to improve your situation, and be experiencing a range of painful feelings, including frustration, hopelessness, or feeling stuck. There may be mixed feelings about seeking help.

I understand that high school and university can be a particularly tough time in people's lives, and I want to be there for people as an ear to listen. Not only schooling itself can be difficult, but every aspect of our lives can be - such as family, friends, extra curricular activities, risk taking, substances, and much more. It is easy to get caught up in issues with those that we are close with, so to work with a fresh set of eyes may be useful. I love learning about people's stories and will work from a non-judgemental frame of mind, because there is nothing to be ashamed of in sharing our stories.

12-25 year olds seek me out when they are struggling with worries of life that are limiting their potential. Many battle self- doubt and thoughts like, "I'm not good enough / pretty enough" or "I can't do that" or "I'm stupid"; ...and comparing self to others is a BIG TRAP. Science shows us that we are all unique in so many ways (finger & retina print, DNA, eye & hair colour, body shape, family structure, school/home/work/world-experience etc) so why do we torture ourselves by making comparisons to others??? YOU ARE PERFECTLY YOU.

If you are not who you want to be, you can break down who you became by accident, and rebuild yourself as who you want to be on purpose. Finding out you have ADHD can have you questioning your whole existence, and living with Chronic Pain can lead you down a life path you never anticipated. These experiences, and many like them, can leave you feeling lost, and I would like to help you feel found.

Are you struggling with self-image, work-life balance, or identity confusion? Are you navigating a life transition such as becoming a parent, feeling lost or confused about who you are, and seeking to regain your life purpose? You might have lost sight of your own goals, desires, likes and dislikes. This could present as snapping at your loved ones, conflict in your relationships, overwhelmed by emotions, burn out or completely shutting the world out, which could look like withdrawal, or avoidant behaviours. Counselling can help support you to explore the question, Who Am I?

My approach is client centred and holistic with the client’s emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing the focus of my sessions. I believe in a mind-body connection and understand the power in releasing emotion that we often store in our bodies when it doesn’t feel safe to express. This can be the result of trauma or life experience that prevents us from living with a sense of stability or peace and often without the ability of knowing what to do with these big emotions. Children especially struggle with this, and Art therapy provides them with the opportunity to express these feelings without the pressure of using words.
