Tired of waking up in pain, feeling like it controls your life? Is it infiltrating every part of your world, affecting your mental health too? You’re not alone—let’s take back control together.

As a registered clinical counsellor with nearly 30 years of personal experience living with chronic pain, I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing chronic pain and/or neurodivergent traits, offering online counselling in areas such as:

*Chronic illness and pain management (including psychophysiological disorders, emotional management, and coping strategies).

*ADHD support (addressing procrastination, stress, and lack of focus).

*Embracing neurodivergence and living authentically.

*Trauma recovery (fostering a sense of safety and reconnecting with yourself beyond trauma).

*Anxiety relief (developing new neural pathways for presence).

*Relationship and communication skills.

*Boundary setting and conserving energy.

*Sleep issues and insomnia (changing your relationship with sleep).

I work with adults facing various challenges, including chronic/persistent pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, psychophysiological disorders, grief, trauma, relationship issues, ADHD symptoms, life transitions, overwhelm, PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

I also assist clients coping with injuries from Motor Vehicle Accidents, collaborating closely with ICBC.

My approach is grounded in understanding the mind-body connection and its impact on well-being. By changing your relationship with pain, you can take back control and make decisions for your life—not your pain. I offer a supportive space where we can talk about pain with kindness, humor, and without judgment.
