We all face difficulties in life from time to time. Sometimes, we find the strength to cope and to resolve things on our own. Other times, we need someone else to come alongside us, to walk with us as we face the challenges of life, to help us build our strength and resources to more effectively move forwards towards finding the solutions we seek. Counselling can help in this process. I offer counselling in the Kincardine, ON area, as well as online and telephone counselling.

Accepting New Clients. Late Evening Appts. The truth is, you have all the skills you need to find contentment. However, there are some moments in life when we can barely tread water.

My approach is compassionate, inclusive, respectful, and genuine. With a flexible mindset and with your needs in mind, together, we will go on a journey back to you feeling empowered while plotting various trails forward with purpose, with me as your ever-present, supportive, caring guide.

I have experience helping clients with issues related to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, emotion regulation, issues with their relationship(s), social isolation, gender and sexual identity, loss, and trauma. In my work, I seek to help clients integrate themselves using a strengths-based, holistic perspective, seeking to facilitate a better understanding of how environmental, social, and cultural factors contribute to their individual problems and chosen responses. By employing this integrative approach to therapy, I find it better assists clients in making positive and lasting change.

Would you like to learn skills that will help you process anxiety, depression, or trauma? Do you feel overwhelmed or desire more structure in your life?

Improving your mental health and well-being can be as simple as developing a daily routine that reduces stress and increases energy. It can also include processing difficult experiences, learning skills to cope with life challenges, or simply having someone to talk to.

You’re not sure how you got here, but you are not where you want to be. It feels so hard to just keep going. Things have happened and you are finding it hard to cope – an important relationship has broken down, you’ve lost someone or something significant, you’ve received a tough diagnosis, your family is in transition. Maybe you can’t reach your partner, or you feel like you are losing your kids. Something needs to change. You feel exhausted, hopeless, and all alone. I see the suffering behind the brave face you put on to get through the day. It’s a scary place, but I know that you can change, heal, and grow.

Are you longing for close connections with your loved ones, but something seems to jumble up your messages to one another, driving you apart? If you’re a parent, is your child or teen pulling back or acting out, leaving you unsure how to reach them?

Are hurts from trauma or grief clinging to you, overwhelming you, or making it hard to thrive?

I work with a variety of clients including adolescents and adults in individual as well as couples formats. My areas of interest include anxiety, communication skills, relationship difficulties, parenting, depression, self esteem issues, eating disorders, trauma, post traumatic stress, and pain.

I believe that people start to heal the moment they feel heard and so my aim is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space that provides my clients validation and understanding. My work is relational, trauma-informed and attachment-based. I have a passion for supporting my child, teen and adult clients in having "aha moments" as they discover how their past experiences are causing the brain to instinctively protect in the present. We can then use this understanding ultimately gain symptom relief. I also provide Clinical Supervision (which meet CRPO standards) and Consultation for upcoming and developed counsellors.

I'm here to support you. My goal is for you to feel heard, accepted, and safe. I know it can feel intimidating to seek therapy, but it really can make all the difference.

With mental health and addiction there comes this terrible feeling of powerlessness, shame and loss of control. Sometimes reaching out for help seems like too much.

I would like to help you find that way forward.

Life can be hard sometimes. Our emotions and thoughts pile up and we may feel stuck in our own heads but there is always hope. I focus more on the individual's personal development and recovery.

Do you feel like you've gotten too far away from who you really are, or who you want to be? Are you overwhelmed by grief, sadness, or worry that you feel isolated and alone?

May be you're tired of people telling you to "get over it" because you're not sure that's even possible. Talking with someone who understands what you've been through is invaluable. Together, you will gain the clarity, confidence, and courage you need to change your life.

At certain times in their lives, people experience problems that are too difficult to handle alone. When their usual modes of coping no longer work for them, they feel overwhelmed and may want to learn new ways of coping through psychotherapy.
