Consistency in life helps keep the desire to change alive, and in that lives hope and meaning.
If you ever find yourself wondering (maybe pleading) for some of the answers to the following:
-Why do I feel this way?
-Why do I feel like I can’t get out of this rut?
-Who am I?
-How can I start to see positive changes in myself and my life?

“The launching pad for emotional freedom is always yourself.” – Judith Orloff
Most of the people I work with at Soulful Conversations Counselling Services come to me with some of the following concerns:
Depression and/ or Anxiety: Seeking help with overwhelming self-defeating thoughts, negative thinking patterns, and wishing they could feel an ounce of joy or happiness. Many seeking help for these challenges may feel angry, helpless, overwhelmed with everything on their plate, and irritated.
Body Image and Self- Esteem: Seeking help in finding peace and freedom with themselves and building a healthier relationship with their bodies. Many seeking help with this challenge tend to have a disintegrating relationship with themselves and feel as though they may have lost touch with who they really are. Some may have perfectionist tendencies that lead to stress and burn out.
Communication, Boundaries, and Relationships: Seeking help for their challenging relationships with others. People seeking this help may have trouble in some of their relationships and with the communication and boundaries within them. This can add to overall stress and interfere with their daily routines.
Counselling Approach & Philosophy
Client centered practice is my priority. Each person who contacts Soulful Conversations Counselling Services has diverse needs and goals for counselling. There is not a “one size fits all” approach for diversity. My counselling philosophy is grounded in the belief that every individual has the capacity for growth, resilience, and meaningful change. The therapeutic relationship is both a collaborative and empowering space where clients can explore their experiences, gain insight, and strategies to living more authentically. I aim to provide a compassionate, non-judgemental environment that respects each person’s unique background, identity, and strengths. You will see me draw from practice modalities that have been effective in my clinical work over the years:
*Trauma- Informed Perspective: Awareness of the impact of trauma on the body, mind and relationships. Safety, trust, and choice are key focuses.
* Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for the individual who needs to work on the acceptance of themselves and come to terms with their experiences. This modality focuses on committing to changing behaviors that are harmful or ineffective.
*Strengths, Narrative, and Solutions Practice for the individual that wants to engage more with their stories, the strengths within those, and identify their view of what a successful solution blueprint may look like.
