Finding peace in times of uncertainty and change
Here to walk along side you…
I understand that navigating illness can be incredibly lonely. Feelings of grief and depression are common reactions to health related changes. Everything from daily routines to how we feel about ourselves can change. Anxiety and fearful thoughts about the future can arise, along with heightened stress. The activities that once brought joy might not be available to you due to symptoms. You may find yourself in need of new ways to manage distress, think about things, and re-charge in the midst of it all.
I truely believe that you are the expert on yourself. You know what you want, what you’ve experienced, and what works for you. It would be an honour to get to know you and figure out together what is needed for you to feel better. I would love to hear your story!
My approach…
My Story…
From a young age, I recognized that I had a passion for helping people feel better. I’ve always wanted to be a counsellor…so here I am! Through various circumstances, both personal and professional, I became keenly aware of how a major health diagnosis and/or living with chronic illness impacts people emotionally and practically. Spouses, loved ones and family members can be equally impacted.
Since 2017 I have been working in a health care setting with oncology patients. I have the privilege of connecting with patients, as well as their family members, to provide emotional support throughout the process of being diagnosed, undergoing treatment, navigating treatment related symptoms and changes, as well as recovering after treatment.
I am personally interested and invested in learning how to live well even when managing uncomfortable symptoms, facing uncertainty, and adjusting to loss. I also understand that health concerns impact not just the patient but those they love, relationship dynamics and plans for the future. If this sounds familiar, I would love to connect with you and help you navigate illness well.
When I am not connecting my patients, you can find me trying to balance life, spending time with my family and doing things that rejuvenate me. Being outdoors brings me joy, especially when I am on or near water. I love a good hike too!
