Heart-centred. Client-focused. Soul-ution oriented.

I am a mother, wife, friend, sister, daughter, dog lover, seeker of deeper living, and a shameless optimist.

How can I help you? I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with over 18 years of experience counselling children, adolescents and adults, and over 25 years of working with children who have experienced trauma. In addition to counselling in my private practice, I have worked in several settings including a stress and anxiety clinic, a non-profit agency for sexual abuse survivors, The Canadian Cancer Society and a British therapeutic school for children.  

I enjoy working with clients of all backgrounds, sexuality and gender. These days, I am choosing to focus on working with individual adolescents and adults who are looking for growth and healing in a number of areas in their life. Typically, they are experiencing issues arising from past trauma, feelings of anxiety, stress or low self-esteem, and often, all of the above. I help clients focus on healing issues that stem from adverse childhood experiences, relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual abuse, disordered eating, life transitions and early learning from their family of origin. I assist my clients to resolve personal challenges, helping them to uncover the coping skills and resources needed to heal and build strength. I use several techniques that complement each other such as Mindfulness Therapy, CBT, Lifespan Integration, Somatic Attachment Psychotherapy and EMDR. 

  I absolutely love what I do and am continually inspired by the human capacity for healing and growth. Each day I strive to bring warmth, humour and sensitivity to the work we will do together.
