Are you looking for a deeper understanding of what drives you? Do you notice repeating patterns that are unsatisfactory? Do you desire more? Do you feel you deserve better?
People who come to me often have insight however are frustrated by repeated patterns. I offer a non-judgemental exploratory environment where your experiences are valued. After I have understood your challenge and you feel comfortable, I may propose a slightly different perspective. A slightly different approach can often be liberating, and new behaviours more easily undertaken. The payoff is feeling lighter, happier, and more at peace with yourself.
For those unsure of the impact their alcohol or drug use has been having on their lives and what steps they can take to limit or cease the damage, I can assist in identifying and understanding the desires, support in providing alternative choices, and be by your side as you move through dependence to freedom of choice.
I also help those who are facing either their first experience of mental illness and are unsure of what’s happening or are perhaps experiencing a return to their symptoms. This can be frightening. Let me be your guide and coach through your process of learning and growing.

“Challenges stimulate strengths.”
Lee Pulos, PhD
Let me help you uncover your unique and powerful strengths.
To understand, we must be heard.
To be heard, we may need additional help to fully express ourselves.
Once we can fully express our perceptions,
we can share them with those who are important to us.
We are then able to make positive changes in
behaviour, understanding, belonging, and respect.
