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? 

​

I specialize in counselling and coaching for first responders and their families, offering individual and couples therapy grounded in somatic, body‑based approaches to trauma. My work supports those navigating operational stress, cumulative stress, compassion fatigue, and the emotional toll of shift work and critical incidents. Together, we focus on helping you reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, and process stress in a gentle, trauma‑informed way. While my practice is focused on first responders and their loved ones, I also welcome individuals and couples from all backgrounds who are navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship strain, and life transitions.

 

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Calm Ocean Waves

I offer clinical counselling sessions in person and virtually, depending on your schedule and needs. While office-and online based sessions are always available, I also offer nature-based or experiential sessions when appropriate, an option many first responders find grounding and supportive of overall well-being.

​

My approach is person-centred and solution-focused, grounded in attachment work and an understanding of the nervous system. Together, we work to make sense of stress responses shaped by high-pressure environments, helping you recognize that many reactions are normal responses to demanding roles. Sessions are collaborative, practical, and offered in a safe, non-judgmental space.

INDIVIDUAL, COUPLES, 

FAMILY & YOUTH,

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.
