“Asking for help is the ultimate sign of strength”

Who am I?
I am a Registered and accredited member of Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.
Throughout my journey, I’ve embraced continuous growth—personally and professionally. I understand that life is an ongoing process, and we are all works in progress. Connecting with people and engaging in meaningful conversations with my clients constantly enriches my life and informs the way I work.
Why am I a Counsellor?
From my earliest memories, I have been drawn to helping people navigate life’s challenges. I feel privileged to support clients during both the best and most difficult times of their lives. Early in my career, I discovered my ability to guide people to question, reflect, and explore their attitudes and beliefs—recognizing there is no right or wrong, only the process of uncovering their own personal truths. It is a true honour to witness and participate in the personal growth and transformation of my clients.
How did I get here?
My counselling journey has been a lifelong commitment to supporting people through life’s challenges and walking alongside them as they find their way forward. I began this path as a psychology student in the late 1980s, earning an undergraduate degree in Psychology from Dalhousie University, followed by a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to providing compassionate, client-centred counselling that helps individuals gain insight, resilience, and personal growth.
How can I help?
I support clients in strengthening their self-awareness and recognizing their needs, wants, and goals as valid and deserving. As a counsellor, I walk alongside clients as they explore healthy ways to foster personal growth and emotional well-being. This journey may involve examining past experiences and patterns, and translating them into a more grounded, nourishing, and fulfilling path forward.
I help clients get to the root of their challenges and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. Therapy doesn’t mean you are broken—it means you are HUMAN! Together, we explore emotions, build self-awareness, and foster personal growth and well-being.
What’s my passion?
One of my greatest loves is the outdoors. I believe true healing and growth happen when we’re connected to nature. It’s in that spirit that I’ve also been an outdoor guide for over 20 years in Canada, Europe and Asia.
I’ve seen it time and time again. Using nature as a therapeutic partner elevates healing and strengthens connections, both internally and with others.
Why book with me?
As a therapist I am grounded and real. I will support and attend to your thoughts, feelings and what is coming up for you in your body. I will help you uncover things in order to cultivate growth and learning. I will be your anchor and guide you on your path of healing, growth or transformation. I have an extensive toolbox to help you gain insight about yourself, support healing and invite change. I am of the belief that when people feel listened to and understood that this sets the groundwork for growth. I’ll hold space for you and meet you wherever you are most comfortable either indoors or outdoors where we can take advantage of our beautiful natural environment.
