You no longer need to struggle. Let's work together towards a more peaceful and productive life for you.

I currently have space virtually and Tues/Wed evenings. I work with children, youth, adults and couples in a variety of areas. As part of a blended family, I have a special interest in the experience of step-parenting and the often challenging dynamics. In my work with children I work closely with parents to integrate an understanding of developmentally appropriate practices at home. I enjoy supporting couples to find new ways to communicate and understand one another, and to break the unhelpful patterns we all tend to fall into.

Do you struggle with a loss of a sense of self that affects your relationships, ability to connect with yourself, others, or the world? Do you feel exhausted by painful emotions, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or lost in connecting with your needs and wants? Do you wonder whether there is a light at the end of the tunnel and hope for a secure, safe, and trusting connection with yourself and with others in your relationships? It is my goal to walk alongside you on your path to self-discovery and my passion to connect with the part of you that believes in you as we work together to create your most empowered future.

Are you feeling alone in your relationship, worrying that your needs will never be met? Despite your best efforts, you feel like your relationship is slipping away; words can’t seem to fully grasp how you’re feeling. You want to express yourself, but you worry that if you speak up things will get worse. In either situation, you may be asking yourself: am I the problem? You want to rekindle the feelings you once have. You want to feel seen, heard, and understood.

If you see me for therapy I think you will find me warm, patient, open-minded and real. I am very interested in understanding what brings you to therapy and what changes you would like to make. I see people for a range of different kinds of challenges such as depression, trauma, anxiety, and interpersonal/family issues. While I am quite practical and can teach you strategies and coping skills, I work best with people who want to transform the underlying patterns that are keeping them stuck. I work effectively with male and female clients from a range of employment backgrounds.

You’ve been through a lot. Maybe you've never told anyone your story; maybe you've only shared it with a select few. And you have heard that talking helps. But you wonder — how many times do I have to re-hash the discomfort before it releases me? How long before I can rest? You might be feeling numb, angry, sad, stuck, hopeless, scared… You may not have a clear direction, or any idea of your goals. You might not know where or how to start. Yes - We all carry our past into the future. But the weight doesn’t have to be unbearable, and you don’t have to hold it alone.

Are you or a loved one autistic? How about ADHD, anxious or depressed? Is being neurodivergent impacting your goals or your relationships with your loved ones? If so you're definitely not alone. Being neurodivergent often means that we process things differently, leading to different strengths.

Despite everything you’re trying you continue to struggle with feeling down, anxious, and unable to let go of the past. You feel pressure to always ‘get it right’, and you’re upset when you feel like you don’t measure up. Maybe you’ve lost something/someone and feel a loss of control over your life, or life continues to test your ability to cope. You’re ready to feel different, better, and more in control. You’re ready to try something new. I’d be honoured to support you on your journey.

It can be so hard when you are feeling stressed, anxious, exhausted or overwhelmed, especially when you want change and aren’t quite sure how to get there. Maybe you're losing hope and starting to wonder if the way that you feel, or that thing that is happening on repeat, is ‘just the way things are’. But what if it's not? What if a life with more ease and fulfillment is actually possible?
