I can help you recover from Narcissistic Abuse, Grief, Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Assertiveness Training/Conflict Management and Communication, Career Stress/Burnout, and Family of Origin concerns. I provide evidence-based psychological assessment and treatment in a compassionate, collaborative manner. My approach is creative, intuitive, strengths-based and trauma-informed, with a focus on helping clients develop insight, emotional intelligence, self-compassion, resilience, and practical skills to support and build meaningful connections and sustainable change.
My work emphasizes compassion and generosity. I partner with organizations such as Compassion Canada, Samaritan's Purse and the Mustard Seed as I believe in giving back to our community and being generous towards others. I adopt a non-judgmental and empathic stance and build trusting alliances and relationships with clients and organizations that I work with

This includes Assertiveness Training to assist with healthy communication for any relationship including family, friends or colleagues.
I adopt a Strength Based approach to counselling ensuring I identify strengths while also addressing areas of development in order to assist people in moving forward in their lives. I use the Clifton Strengths Assessment to maximize potential both in business and personal life and leverage these strengths to meet challenges and increase likelihood of successful outcomes.
There comes a time when we may need some assistance to help cope with many of life’s challenges and it takes courage to take the first step, and I am here to help using empathy, non-judgment and compassion.
Life can be overwhelming and sometimes even exhausting, but I am here to guide you through the obstacles you face. Restoration, hope and healing are all possible. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply and better cope with any changes and issues you are facing at this time. You are not alone.
