      Life's journey can have its ups and downs and can feel overwhelming at times. I believe that learning how to manage those challenges, with support and guidance, can bring you to a more balanced and enjoyable life. I provide a supportive, non-judgemental and safe space, meeting you where you're at in your life and with your relationships, with the focus on developing greater self-awareness, understanding of your emotions, learning coping skills, and improving your relationships with others and yourself. When you are ready to reach out, I am here to listen and support you to achieve your goals.

​

     I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental, open-minded, ethical and attentive approach to my clients using mindfulness, self-compassion, emotion-focused, person-focused, attachment-based techniques. My experience includes supporting adults with anxiety, depression, stress, abuse, parenting and relationship issues. I also have experience supporting VAW workers with the challenges and impact on them from doing this difficult work. I have worked as a Collaborative Family Law Family Professional supporting couples through the emotional challenges of separation and co-parenting, and bring this knowledge to my practice for those considering separation or are currently in the process and struggling with the emotions related to this experience.
