I'm a Professional Counsellor (RPC-C), and Health and Life Coach who has a passion for helping people of all ages navigate the more difficult and challenging aspects of life. I have a BA in Psychology, a Diploma in Applied Psychology and Counselling, certifications in both Health and Life Coaching, as well as additional education and/or certificates in CBT, Attachment Theory, and Personality Systems.
I utilize multiple therapeutic approaches in my practice, and have a holistic philosophy believing each person is unique and deserves individualized treatment and goal-setting.
My personal approach, and number one priority is to empathically listen, form a connection with my clients built on trust, and provide a warm, safe and non-judgmental environment where they feel accepted and comfortable talking about whatever is on their mind. Many of my clients struggle with depression and anxiety, so my goal is to help them build self-awareness, and from there collaboratively explore solutions to the challenges they face. I help them understand their patterns of self-limiting beliefs, and then help them move into a more empowered state of mind.
I am the mother of 2 wonderful teenage girls, and love to spend time on our beautiful North Shore trails in Lynn Valley, or enjoying a meal with friends and family.
