Are you feeling overwhelmed by life? Have you been overcome by grief from the loss of a loved one or pet? The loss of a relationship or a career? Is the stress of getting through the day too much? Do you feel anxious or depressed more than you'd like? Does achieving work/life balance seem impossible? Are you trying to find your purpose, but just can't seem to figure it out? 

I understand the pain and turmoil these situations can cause, both emotional and physical. The truth is, life can be really tough. But together, you and I can find healing and start stepping towards a life that is manageable and eventually, a life that can be beautiful. We will evaluate your current situation, find options so you can function, work towards healing, and eventually see you thrive in the life you’re meant to live. I can help you find a new way forward.

I'm a counsellor, but I'm also a mid-life college professor and a widow. I have personally experienced and successfully navigated many life challenges, and I use both my formal education and my training in life's "school of hard knocks" to specialize in helping you with the following areas:

• Student and young adult issues (college/university academics/campus life/careers/dating life/friendships)
• Anxiety / depression (with a holistic mind/body approach)
• Infertility
• Grief / loss (death or other types of loss)
• Mid-life issues (caregiving/parenting/health/wellness/work stress/relationships)
• Finding purpose

I offer free 15-minute virtual consultations to help you determine if I am the right therapist for you.  I invite you to book a consultation or your first full session online at your convenience.

I hold a Masters in Counselling Psychology and I'm a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), Registration #009785. 

I would be honoured to help you find that tiny pinprick of light in the darkness...just that little spark of hope. Then, together, let's help that light grow brighter, one moment, one hour, one day at a time. Let's start the journey towards helping you feel better today!
