Practice information:

Are there aspects of your life where you feel stuck or have difficulty coping? Do you wish for closer connection in relationships? Are events from the past, such as family trauma, holding you back from leading a fulfilled life? My clients are adults, single or in relationships, students, professionals, parents and seniors who grapple with issues including anxiety, depression, life transitions, perfectionism, grief and parenting. Taking that first step to seek counselling can be difficult and finding a counsellor who is right for you may feel overwhelming. I commend you for starting the search.

I believe that every person has within themselves the ability to heal. My role is be with you on this journey. If needed, we will first focus on practical ways to cope. With your permission, we will go deeper to explore the parts of you that may be protecting old wounds with the intention of ultimately finding healing for these hurts.

I have been told that I am warm, non-judgmental and down-to-earth. The connection between you and me is important to the effectiveness of therapy. Please contact me to set up a complimentary 15-20 minute phone consultation to help you decide if we will be a good fit. I look forward to meeting you and being with you on this important journey.
