Small changes in how you think and feel can lead to an amazing life. Together, we can create lasting transformation in all parts of your human experience (mind, body, emotions) and help you fulfill your goals, so you can experience greater peace and happiness in your life.

HOW CAN COUSELLING HELP ME?

I work with individuals, couples, children, and families to overcome areas of conflict and challenges. I use an intuitive, heart-centered, trauma informed, and culturally sensitive approach to help you navigate through life challenges while promoting empowerment, emotional healing, independence, self-development, and self-efficacy.

Through our work together you will gain greater self and situational awareness, learn coping skills, build self-resiliency, and change patterns of negative thinking or conditioned responses. Enabling you to more easily manage and resolve the challenges in your life.

Clinical counselling helps people improve their mental, emotional, and physical health while encouraging positive relationships with self, others and the larger community. My goal is to help you move past obstacles and create changes in how you think, feel and perceive life, yourself, and your experiences. Ultimately, creating a domino effect that leads to big changes that transform your life to one filled with more joy, love, and peace.

I work with clients of all ages, from 3 years to 90 years of age.

WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH TO COUNSELLING?

The disciplines and theories I apply foster healing, growth, self-discovery and transformation to your place of inner peace. While my theory of change is informed by Person Centered, Strength Based, Adlerian, Emotion-Focused, Mindfulness – Based practices, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral approaches. I take a collaborative approach to working with clients and will tailor treatment to your unique presenting issues and needs.

I take an approach rooted in science and spirituality and focus on the connection between the three layers of a human being: the emotional, psychological (mind), and physical (body). This is an integrative and holistic approach that helps to collectively heal and align all parts of your life.

I use an intuitive, empathic, and heart-centered approach to create an environment of safety, trust, support, honesty, and mutual respect for you.
