You have not found your way here by accident.

From time to time we will all experience difficulties in our lives. You might be looking for help for yourself, a loved one or a relationship. Perhaps you are dealing with a major life transition, searching to understand patterns that keep appearing in your life, or solve a challenge you are experiencing. Maybe you are working toward a goal you have envisioned for your future or trying to make sense of your past. You might driven to search for deeper discoveries about who you are, why you do the things you do and how to cultivate meaning and purpose of your life.

Counselling can be an enlightening experience for those seeking self-improvement and personal growth. It can also be used to assist you to overcome emotional and psychological difficulties and learn a repertoire of constructive ways to deal with life’s challenges. It’s a space where you can get support for difficult life transitions or concerns within careers, relationships or family life.

Choosing a therapist for yourself or your relationship is a very personal choice. I encourage you to find not only a good psychologist, but someone who is a good fit for you. To find out whether we would work well together, I invite you to explore this website and to feel free to contact me with any questions.

I am honoured and privileged to walk along with clients as they undertake this rewarding and challenging process of self-discovery. I combine an experienced clinical approach with a caring and safe environment. I welcome clients with diverse backgrounds and needs. Age, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, relationship status and family situation are never barriers to working with me. I have been told that because of my open spirit and kind, gentle nature, clients trust that I can help without judgment. Accompanying clients on their personal journeys and hearing their life stories is an honour and a privilege. Knowing that you have been heard and understood is often a first significant step towards change. To provide the best service possible for my client, I am committed to ongoing professional development and life-long learning.
