I am passionate about helping my clients cultivate more presence and empowerment in their lives and access their wisdom and capacity for growth and healing.  Using a holistic, client centered and collaborative approach, I will help support you as you navigate difficult life experiences with care and compassion.

Letting yourself be vulnerable with a stranger is scary, and I commend you for taking the first step in finding someone. I believe everyone has the capacity within them to grow. I use a variety of proven techniques (one is EMDR) to help promote your healing and achieve your goals.

I have a Master of Education in Counselling with experience in the field since 2004. I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.

I specialize in EMDR therapy (an alternative to talk therapy). My introduction to the field of trauma therapy began while working with survivors of sexual assault and historic sexual abuse. While EMDR is my primary treatment modality, I also incorporate CBT and mindfulness in my practice.

My counselling experiences include treating depression and anxiety, trauma and recovery, grief counselling, stress reduction, life transitions and I have worked with adults, children, and youth. I have worked for over 12 years as a school counsellor with children and youth at all age levels. I am a certified EMDRIA therapist, certified counsellor, educator, and author. I currently work with adults and youth.

I am a published self-help author of four books. I am intrigued with helping people find a way to live a meaningful life. This has been the focus of my writing for over 18 years.
