Services

With over 15 years in private practice, I aim to provide a compassionate and informed setting where you can explore new meanings, alternatives and possibilities for your life. My intention is to be respectful, genuine and support clients in opening space for themselves to be authentically who they desire to be.

Counselling

I have been in private practice for 15 years counselling individuals, couples, children and families. I have helped clients explore a wide range of diverse experiences. A few areas of practice include couples counselling, grief & loss, trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, personal growth & wellness, stress management and more. Using an eclectic approach to counselling, some possible tools include traditional talk therapy as well as inner child work, breath work, experiential techniques, medical hypnosis, and integration techniques that bring the body, mind and spirit together. With me, you will map out boundaries, techniques and areas of exploration that feel comfortable to you. This work is about your unique journey towards mental, emotional and spiritual wellness and growth. 

I offer 60-minute sessions for individuals and 90-minute sessions for couples at my office at the Wellness Centre. I also offers tele-counselling/Skype for out of town clients. 

Counselling services are covered under most insurances. 

Coaching

Coaching is a process founded on visioning, exploration and transformation.  Emotional education, spiritual guidance and self-discovery are core components of coaching.  If you're searching for change, your true purpose, meaning or a sense of authentic aliveness, coaching might be a great fit for you! 

I am an Integrative Life Coach certified by The Ford Institute in San Diego, California. At the core of this training is the principle that, 

"The hidden and rejected parts of yourself create the limited view from which you see yourself and experience the world. Imagine if instead of being controlled by your shadows, you could step outside of them and finally follow the sacred path you were meant to live. It is then that you can finally realize your innate purpose, your capacity for greatness, and a sense of authentic aliveness. You can dance in the delight of liberation. Rooted in your newfound strength, you discover that you have everything you need and open up to new levels of self-acceptance, self-confidence, self-worth and ultimately self – love!"

I have also been privileged to be a part of many training workshops. To learn more about me, click here.

Medical Hypnosis

What is medical hypnosis? According to the Canadian Federation of Clinical Hypnosis, "hypnosis, a natural state of heightened and focused attention, is one of the most fascinating phenomena of the human psyche.  Our ability to enter this unique state of consciousness opens the door to endless possibilities for healing, self-exploration and change. Hypnosis, called by different names in different cultures and times, has been recognized for thousands of years and used for many purposes. When we enter into a state of hypnosis, we can utilize thoughts, talents and experiences in ways not usually accessible to us. With the guidance of a trained professional, we can develop our latent abilities that enable making desired changes in our thoughts, feelings and perceptions. Hypnosis has been used successfully to treat numerous psychological and physical problems and conditions. It also is a very effective technique to help individuals improve their performance in areas such as sports, academics and vocations. Peak performance training, as it is called, can be used to help people uncover and overcome blocks that underlie their failure to achieve their desired goals."

I received medical hypnosis training in Halifax in 2010 and medical hypnosis advanced training in Corner Brook in 2011. I am a member of the Canadian Federation of Clinical Hypnosis.
