Are you feeling overwhelmed? Stressed? Down? Alone? Wondering if things are "bad enough" for counselling? You don't have to wait until you are in crisis to reach out! Sometimes life can feel messy, but you don't have to go it alone. I can help by providing you with a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings, with compassionate, professional guidance and support. My varied life experiences, both personally and professionally, enable me to understand and empathize with many life challenges including socio-economic, disabilities, single parenting, loss, and issues of faith.  I take a person-centered, collaborative approach, tailoring the counselling experience to your unique situation and needs.  I work with individuals (16+) and couples, with varying needs and concerns. My exclusively virtual counselling practice means that you can attend your session from the comfort of your own home or other private space with just the click of a link, and you don't have to worry about weather-related cancellations!
 
Counselling is not just for people who have experienced severe trauma or have a diagnosis. You might be dealing with unwanted behaviour patterns, have trouble setting boundaries, or simply want to become your best self! My counselling approach is tailored to your needs and is informed by your concerns, challenges, and goals in order to help you reach your full potential. Some of the concerns I provide support for include:
  • Anxiety and stress
  • Depression
  • Grief and loss
  • Substance misuse
  • Relationships issues
  • Disordered eating
  • Personal growth
  • Setting boundaries
  • Parenting challenges
  • Development of skills for managing conditions such as ADHD

I also have a special interest in working with current and former clergy members and leaders from all faith traditions. As a former pastor I understand the unique concerns of those in vocational and lay ministry while offering a non-judgmental, secular space to discuss issues or concerns that you may not be comfortable discussing within your faith community, and also provide support for day-to-day concerns.
 I know first-hand the difference that non-judgmental support can make when we are facing challenges but sometimes it can be intimidating to take that first step. How do you know if a counsellor will be the right fit? That's why I offer a free 15 minute relaxed and casual virtual consultation to discuss your needs and give you a sense of what it would be like to work together. I encourage you to book your no obligation consultation, either directly through the online booking option on my website or by contacting me, to begin your journey towards your best self!
