Today you are one step closer to a new you, where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being!

Asking for a help is a strength!  If you are looking for guidance with anxiety, domestic violence, grief or loss, self-esteem, sexual abuse, stress or trauma, it takes courage to ask for help. Admitting you can’t do everything on your own, is the first step toward achieving wellness in a fast-paced, demanding world.

As a therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can’t change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying practical therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behaviour patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.  Growth is definitely in your hands!

I have a collaborative, strengths-based therapeutic approach in which clients are active participants.  I believe that people are their own experts on their own lives, and that they have internal resources to overcome challenges that they are facing.

If you’re looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation, or you’re just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
