I understand how challenging life can be!

My story.

Once there was a little girl growing up in a family that didn't want her. She didn't feel loved or accepted so she changed herself to try to please them. The message she got was that she didn't matter, and she believed it. So, as you'd expect, she grew into an adult who believed she had to earn love but never really believed that she had done enough to secure love. She felt alone, like there was no place she would ever belong. By the time she was in her 30's, she was exhausted, anxious, and occasionally depressed. She asked God, "What's wrong with me?", and He answered. "You don't really believe that anybody has ever loved you, and you are working to earn something that is already yours". Over the next few years, with hard work and some very painful realizations, she partnered with God to heal and change. She is now her real self and has the freedom to make her own choices, with no obligation or duty. She's not perfect, but she no longer lives with chronic pain.     

You were little once; do you know what happened to you?

You want to know why life feels so hard; you struggle with anxiety, can't say 'no', have significant stress, are always on high-alert, and don't feel deeply connected to anyone, even if you're married. You know that there has got to be something better but you don't know how to get it.

It has been through suffering that I have seen the faithfulness of God. Now that I am healed, I can say that my life experiences have built things into my character that could have come in no other way and I am grateful for that.               

Your suffering is also not without purpose. There will be meaning in it, but you need to heal in order to reveal that meaning.

I provide counselling from my Christian values and beliefs. I understand life's challenges and how difficult it is to change. I have been there, to those dark, hard places where you wonder what’s wrong and if there’s help for you. There is! Just like there was help for me, there is help for you. I am so glad you are here.

I specialize in counselling women with their unique issues and offer two types of counselling: traditional mental health therapy and integrated mental/physical health therapy. Obligation, people-pleasing, relationship stress, weight, and menopause are common themes. I counsel from an attachment perspective, helping people understand that for many, the way they altered themselves in childhood is not in the past, it has become their way of being in the world and is at work today.

I also provide couple counselling and help with parenting issues.

I believe that one of our deepest longings as human beings is to be authentically known, loved, and accepted. You may feel like you are unravelling, but God can restore you. Someone helped me and I would like to help you.



There's always a place for you on my couch; you can find healing and freedom.

Currently accepting only women and couples.

When we learn to move through suffering, rather than avoid it, then we greet it differently. We become willing to let it teach us. We even begin to see how God can use it for some larger end.
