You’re here! This step is often the hardest part! Life can be hard… I get it! The stuff that makes life tricky shapes how we see ourselves, how we see others, and how we make sense of the world. Life experiences form our core beliefs that often get in the way of living the life you desire. As an attachment-based therapist, I work hard to create a safe space where you can confront the tough stuff and begin to rewrite your story. I show up with compassion, acceptance, and humour, to dig into what is getting in the way of you living your truth.
I work with adults, focusing on treatment of attachment injuries, relational challenges, anxiety, depression, and complex trauma. I have a great passion for working within family systems, offering specialized services to parents of children with disabilities as well as those navigating sexuality or gender transitions.
I truly believe that each of us has the innate ability to overcome personal challenges and create the life we desire. However, life can be tricky to navigate on our own! I would be honored to work with you to uncover your unique strengths, break through barriers, and rewrite your story.
For over 25 years, I have been professionally supporting the mental health of children, youth, and adults. Whether working in homes, community, or two school divisions, my focus has been helping children and their families navigate their relationships with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), anxiety, depression, autism, grief, and trauma. I also have a special interest in counselling the children and spouses of First Responders. Having been married for over 20 years to a police officer, and weathered many storms from the impacts of his job, I want to give back by strengthening the resiliency of the families of First Responders.
As we are all wired for connection, I take a relational and collaborative approach to help strengthen their relationships with themselves and their family while supporting their personal growth. Utilizing humor and creative tools, like drumming or expressive arts, I strive to make therapy more engaging and comfortable to share one’s story.
