I am a wife and mother of 3 daughters whom challenge me daily. I love physical activity that is outdoors which I find helps to ground me amid the chaos of life. Along with my husband, I am an avid backpacker who loves the mental and physical challenge that brings me continually to the present and allows me to find gratitude which can be hard in day to day life. The many roles I have in my life such as wife, mother, daughter, sibling, student, counsellor, and friend, have given me vast experience on which to draw upon while in the therapy room with clients. It allows me to provide an emotionally and physically safe space to hold client's dark moments, thoughts, traumas, behaviors, and hope for the future. It is in this space my hope is the client experiences trust, empathy, compassion, and the hope for more enjoyable and lighthearted future. This experience allows for the change process to begin and allows my client to work towards the future they want and deserve.
