Finding the right counselor to support you is incredibly important
AUTHENTICITY; the courage to be yourself
RESILIENCY; the capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties
Would you like to live confidently as your true self and have healthier, more authentic relationships? Would you like to learn more about building resiliency?
Are you struggling to feel a sense of connection to yourself and others? Are you finding it difficult to communicate in your relationships? Do you suffer from feelings of anxiety or depression?
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
I provide clinical counseling sessions both in-person, and virtually depending on each individual persons situation and need.
I believe a clinical office setting is not always preferred in counseling sessions and offer unique plans incorporating nature or adventure into your counselling journey focusing on physical, psychological and emotional health and well-being.
My therapeutic style is person-centered, solution focused, grounded in an attachment lens. I believe in the importance of neurobiology so we can begin to understand and recognize our responses are "normal". This allows for new insights, connections and understanding, in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
Come as you are, together we will work towards healing and finding that beacon of hope. You are not alone.
Please contact me today for a free 15 minute consultation. I look forward to hearing from you.

INDIVIDUAL, COUPLES,

SEPARATION & DIVORCE
Relationships are essential to daily life. Whether with a spouse, child, parent, ex-partner or even a work colleague, they can be complicated and, at times, challenging. They take time, thought and effort to develop, nurture and sustain. My hope is to support you by offering different treatment modalities and plans specific to your current needs to strengthen the relationships that matter to you most.
I utilize many therapy tools that concentrate on helping people move towards the future that they want and to learn what can be done differently by using their existing skills, strategies and ideas. This is done in a safe and non judgmental environment to feel safe, understood and heard.
SOLUTION FOCUSED APPROACH
Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple
COUPLES SESSION
Relationships are not optional, they are at the center of life. Learning to develop and sustain positive, safe, relationships is critical to our health, growth and fulfillment. Married or dating: Couples Therapy can empower you to communicate more effectively, work through disagreements, and help you re-kindle the love that brought you together.
INDIVIDUAL SESSION
People enter counselling for many reasons, from anxiety, stress, or depression, PTSD to trauma and bereavement. Whatever your circumstances, counselling can be the first step in an empowering journey of self-awareness and transformational change.
You will engage in a supportive, collaborative process that will allow you to explore your experiences, behaviors, and core beliefs. With the benefit of fresh insight, you will identify blind spots and patterns which are holding you back from health and happiness, and gain the strength and strategies needed to overcome them.
As you grow in wisdom and resilience and learn to discard the unhelpful responses you may have developed, you can move forward equipped with new and more successful tools for attaining lasting well-being.
Many people find that it provides relief from distress in a relatively short period of time; however, it is a dynamic process of personal growth and development and its duration, just as much as its content, will be different for every client.
PARENTING, FAMILY & YOUTH
Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible – the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.
– Virginia Satir
Family therapy can help repair and improve relationships where both internal and external stressors have led to fractures, conflict, or distress.
Reasons a family may seek therapy include:
A loss in the family
Substance abuse
Separation or divorce
Blending of families
Chronic illness
Mental illness
Shared trauma
Physical or verbal abuse
Behavioral or academic concerns in a child
YOUTH
If you have been experiencing any of these issues please reach out for help. You are never alone.
Feeling unhappy, moody or irritable a lot of the time
Feelings of emptiness or numbness
Losing interest and pleasure in activities that you once enjoyed
Change in appetite, eating habits or weight
Change in sleeping habits
Tiredness, lack of energy and motivation
Difficulty concentrating
Feeling bad, worthless, guilty or overly critical of yourself
Negative or ‘down on yourself’ thoughts
Thoughts of death or suicide
Periods of intense fear or anxiety

Deliberate acts of self-harm or injury as a way of coping with difficult or painful feelings
When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves. - Viktor Frankl
