In my 30 years of research on job satisfaction, personal growth, and career change with over 45,000 individuals, a pattern emerged. Individuals, who exhibited a Quester constellation of traits, were happier, healthier, and more successful than those who did not. They possessed that "extra something" that could get them through crises and transitions. These Quester qualities that enabled individuals to manage crises and transitions are common in very young children. Unfortunately, we tend to lose them as we age. The good news is, they can be "relearned." I wrote my award-winning, best seller, Questers Dare to Change Your Job and Life, to help you understand and manage the feelings that come from your quest for satisfaction and success - to help you understand change and empower yourself to manage changes occurring within and around you.

Trauma-informed, somatic, and relationship focused individual psychotherapy for healing & growth : I help adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally shut down reconnect with themselves and others. Whether you're navigating relationship struggles, intense self-criticism, or the long-term impact of trauma, therapy offers a space to heal. My approach is trauma-informed, somatic, and rooted in nervous system regulation. Together, we explore the deeper patterns shaped by early experiences and develop tools for emotional resilience, internal safety, and meaningful connection.
I work especially well with sensitive, reflective individuals seeking transformation—not just symptom relief. Sessions are collaborative, experiential, and tailored to your unique needs. You’re welcome here—whoever you are, wherever you're starting from.
I provide individual counselling to adults and adolescents for all of life's challenges, including stress, relationship issues, self-esteem, tough childhoods, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health issues. I use a variety of treatments, tailored to your needs, including CBT (cognitive behavior therapy), Tapping, Solution Focused, and Relational approaches. I will treat you kindly, respectfully, and as the expert in your own life. My role is to help you make the desired changes you are seeking, and to give you the strategies and coping skills you need to reach your goals. I have very positive outcomes with clients, because I form positive working relationships with them. Proof of this?: Most clients maintain long term relationships with me; checking in for tune-ups, or in times of stress or change, as new problems arise. For high quality, competent, professional counselling and mental health and wellness services, contact me.
Sometimes, the waters in life can get a little rough -- and navigating stressors or change can have you feeling a little out of your depth. Call for collaborative counselling support that can help you get back on course, and stay the course. I offer counselling for adults, older adolescents, and couples that keeps you at the helm of your own ship. You decide the destination and bring onboard a good co-navigator. It's your journey and I'd be honoured to be invited on deck. Together, we'll develop some new coping strategies, additional options, out-of-the-box ideas, different skillsets. Or perhaps you'd just like a sounding board or someone to check in with from time to time -- whatever it is, my belief is that the problem is the problem, and we'll focus on solutions. It's time to leave the safety of the shoreline . . . time to sail. Call today for supports.
Choose change. Make waves.
