I support individuals and couples navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—wanting relief, clarity, and change but unsure where to start. My ideal clients seek a safe space to be heard, understood, and supported without judgment. What makes my work different is a calm, collaborative approach that blends practical tools with deep listening. I tailor therapy to you, honoring your pace, strengths, and lived experience. Together we clarify goals, build insight, and develop skills to manage emotions, improve relationships, and move forward with confidence. Therapy becomes a place to heal, grow, and create lasting change.
With specialized training in substance use and behavioral addictions, I offer trauma-informed counselling that builds coping skills, strengthens relationships, and supports lasting change.

Addiction counselling provides the mental, emotional, and behavioral health services individuals need to recover from drug and alcohol misuse, gambling, sex, and other behavioral issues. As your counsellor, I work alongside you to help identify maladaptive thoughts and behaviors which have contributed to or caused the addiction. We then work to replace these dysfunctional, negative thoughts and behaviors with positive coping mechanisms in a bid to achieve a reduction in use or complete abstinence. Counselling involves creating treatment plans with the ability to address other contributing mental factors such as anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.

Recovery coaching is a collaborative approach used to support anyone interested in recovery. Together, we identify, remove and overcome obstacles to your recovery goals. I serve as a recovery companion, working with you to develop the resources you need to find and maintain your recovery, while bolstering your natural support network. As a coach, I am your motivator, ally, advocate, and confidant, who uses my lived experience to sit beside you and listen, as we explore your options to achieve your desired change. I do not use theoretical psychology models, or create treatment plans/interventions for problematic thought patterns or behaviors.
