Welcome.
I am glad you are here. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor whose primary area of focus is trauma and helping individuals and families heal from the long-reaching effects that trauma brings. I work with children, teenagers, parents, and families, walking alongside them as they share their struggles, fears, hurts, joys and everything in-between.
Our brain and nervous system are incredible in adapting and learning, this brings tremendous hope for healing and change. And because we are wired for relationships, healing is best done in the context of relationship.
“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”
