Life can be hard.

Most of us have an idea of how we would like things to be. When the vision and reality don't line up, this can cause even more distress. We try to change things but change is hard and we are often left alone with our thoughts, spinning around in circles, wondering what to do next.

I believe that people are doing the best they can and that there are very good reasons why change is not happening for them. We are all products of our genetics, lived experience, and current environments and all of these factors are contributing to the reasons why change can be hard or seemingly impossible.

For many of us because of shame, guilt or embarrassment, it is hard to reach out to others to talk about it. We worry about what others might think, concerned there is something wrong with us, that other people don’t feel this way, and that if anyone found out, we would be judged. Without unbiased guidance,it can be hard to normalize how we are feeling, articulate a new vision and develop strategies for making things better. 

I offer a forward-looking, supportive, judgement-free environment, conducive to exploring and questioning the elements in people’s lives that are creating barriers, and collaborating on a renewed vision of what is possible. With well-developed skills in the use of empathy and humour in counselling, I work with individuals to understand the complex web of factors that have contributed to their current reality and work collaboratively with them to redefine their future.

I believe it is time to lift the stigma of therapy and I offer an approach that is adaptable and appropriate for anyone who longs for change in their life.

I believe in the power of hope and am convinced that change IS possible.
