Your pain is not my retirement plan!
I work with a range of people in crisis or living in trauma or those wishing to grow and pursue new directions. I help people move from chaos and dealing with significant challenges to empowerment and self-direction.
My practice is a strength-based and person-centred approach. I bring a down-to-earth manner and a positive, warm attitude to individual, group facilitation and workshop skills. In addition to “talk therapy”, I offer hypnotherapy which helps to identify when challenging behaviors began and how to rewire your brain for healthier actions.
My work is supporting people in their self-development as well as social skills development. My greatest joy is knowing my clients no longer "need" me.

How I got started
My practice was born from a passion to assist people overcome trauma. I started counselling many years ago working with women who experienced violence in relationships. Since that time, I have worked frontline with persons experiencing addiction, homelessness and chronic disease. From there to a EAP practice, with adults, youth and children through depression, anxiety, parenting, ADHD, grief and trauma. Trauma triggers seem to be the underlying factor in many challenges that people experience. I love working with my clients to leave trauma behind and live free.
Why I care
I am constantly blown away by the strength and ability to move forward by people. YOU have done the best you can to survive - together we will work on your ability to thrive in every area of your life.
I am committed to providing exceptional care to nurture the body, mind, and spirit, helping my patients live their best lives.
