Your counselling experience

 Good therapy challenges you to take risks. It helps connecting you to your strengths. It builds courage and confidence to support and sustain meaningful change. I work with you to foster a new perspective on yourself and your opportunities for change. As the therapeutic alliance grows, so do your opportunities for real growth, greater self understanding, and acceptance.  My services reach across all regions of British Columbia and beyond with remote online counselling and phone counselling services. 

Grief and Loss

It's often difficult to imagine life without your loved one. I understand the unique challenges grief presents and offer compassionate support to guide you through this difficult time. My job is to help you find your path to healing.

ADHD Coaching

Typical life challenges and hassles are often exacerbated by unmanaged ADHD. Learn to address road blocks to staying focused, getting organized, and managing tough emotions. 

Parent Coaching, Couples Therapy and Family Therapy

I work with couples who want to gain confidence and feel more effective in parenting their children. I also work with grandparents who are caretaking grandchildren through difficult changes or loss in the family (addiction, mental health, illness). My experience includes work with foster parents and other extended family members on how to support children in care, many of whom have complex needs that require special accommodations and nurturance.

Life Transitions

I work with women experiencing work/life challenges stemming from sudden changes in health, and unexpected challenges linked to perimenopause. I also work with people to help navigate changes in relationships, and new caregiving demands linked to a family member's illness and aging. I've worked with parents at many different transition points including new parenting, and launching adult children who've suffered mental health setbacks from challenges with school, work or relationships.
