Most people seek out counseling with me when they find themselves stuck in the same repetitive patterns and are looking to break out of them. I help clients to better understand their habits and thoughts, and change them for the better. Using different tools, I will work with you to get back in touch with the better parts of yourself, where there is hope, strength and power.

I have been working as a social worker for 20 years and bring my experience of abuse, violence, mental health, addiction, HIV/AIDS, homelessness and housing to my work as a therapeutic counselor. I have also worked in health care supporting patients and families dealing with chronic and complex health issues, and end of life care.

I come from a place of hope and deep caring for personal problems and challenges, and have witnessed the amazing transformations that can take place.  I look to approaches in Narrative Therapy to start creating a new way of understanding the effect the problem is having on you, and use tools such as mindfulness and art to help getting to these other parts of yourself. Together we can create new ways of understanding yourself and your experiences of:

• Anxiety, panic attacks
• Depression, low moods or mood changes
• Grief and loss
• Sexuality, gender identity, sexual orientation and other issues related to being LGBTQ
• Queer centred counselling
• Negative or persistent thoughts about oneself
• Abuse and violence

I believe in working collaboratively to create your new path. My clients describe me as deeply caring, personable, creative and committed to creating change. I look forward to beginning this journey with you.
