Parenting can leave us feeling more vulnerable, anxious, sad, angry or alone than we’ve ever been before. It can create extra stress in our relationships or bring up old feelings from our own families of origin. I love working with moms so they can feel better, in themselves and in their relationships, and work towards understanding and being the kind of parent they want to be.

What do you love most about your job?
I love connecting with others and seeing self compassion and awareness grow as people uncover their own inner wisdom and strengths.
I also love laughing with my clients. Finding the humour in our difficulties somehow makes life more manageable.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've been a counsellor for many years but was inspired to start my own business when I experienced a very difficult period of postpartum depression and anxiety. It was hard to find knowledgeable help where I was living and, once I recovered, I knew I wanted to make these experiences less difficult for others. I wanted people to know sooner that they are not alone in their experience and that they can and will get better.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm experienced, compassionate and down to earth with a good sense of humour. While I have expertise in guiding people through a process of self discovery, I recognize you as the expert in your own life. This quote from Pema Chodron captures my feelings toward the therapist-client relationship
“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.”
