Transform
Counselling
Richard Rohr
If we don't transform our pain,
we will most assuredly transmit it - usually to those closest to us.
I am on leave effective May 1, 2026.
I hope to return to practice in late 2027 or in 2028.
Overwhelmed? Stuck in a painful pattern - emotional, physical, or relational - and feel powerless to change?
I help people transform their lives and relationships, moving from a state of survival into calm, clarity, and courage.
Leveraging the brain-body connection and understanding the impact of trauma are foundations of my counselling approach.
I'll guide you to:
-
witness your emotions.
-
listen to your body.
-
understand your nervous system.
-
explore the parts of yourself that have been blocking change.
Start creating your life, not just surviving it!

About Me
I have more than 15 years of experience working with vulnerable people in child protection, in hospital emergency rooms, as an advocate for children and families receiving government services, and as a school counsellor specializing in trauma. I hold Bachelor's and Master's degrees in social work.
My life story echoes many of the experiences clients bring into counselling . . .
The theories and tools I use have supported my recovery from early childhood trauma that manifested in anxiety, depression, eating disorders, attention deficit disorder and decades of chronic fatigue (beginning with 2 years in bed as a teenager).
I became a single mom in my 2nd year of university. Now, I've been married for over 20 years and we've raised our two kids into adulthood.
My healing began when I read the book The Body Keeps The Score and shifted the focus of my Masters research to the neurobiology of trauma. The learning and transformation continues; In my forties, I'm enjoying peace that was elusive for much of my life!
Parenting Coordination
I'm recognized as a Parenting Coordinator under The Children's Law Regulations, 2021.
A Parenting Coordinator is a child-focused third party who helps you navigate change and decisions as you create a new family structure, with your children living in 2 households and adult relationships focused on successful co-parenting.
The Parenting Coordinator helps separated parents
-
understand and communicate respectfully about the needs of your children and how to meet them;
-
understand and implement the terms of your court order, family arbitration award, or separation agreement that relate to the children; and
-
reach agreement on minor parenting issues not addressed in the court documents.
