Together, we will build on your strengths and values to help you move toward greater emotional, relational, physical and/or spiritual well-being. I am passionate about helping women who are struggling with anxiety, difficult relationships, estrangement, losses and/or grief, low self-esteem or self-worth. I have compassion for those experiencing a crisis of faith or meaning in their lives, church hurt, or are in the midst of a life transition like separation, divorce or retirement.

I draw from several evidence-based counselling approaches including narrative, cognitive-behavioural, and self-compassion. My work is trauma-informed, recognizing the brain/body connection in emotion regulation and utilizing an attachment theory lens.

Faith-based counselling is available upon request for those whose faith is a vital part of who they are and want to be. I have a special interest in supporting those in Christian ministry and their family members. I am a lifelong learner and can help clients consider options for ongoing growth through books, podcasts, groups and other avenues of psycho-education and community.

I have been married for almost 30 years and have three adult children. I am an avid reader who enjoys sitting by a fire, coffee with friends, or long walks at the lake.
