OAMHP

I work with individual adults and older adults / seniors facing life changes and challenges to mental well-being. Many of our struggles involve change, frustration, fear for our future, aloneness, and making meaning of our lives. You don’t have to face these alone. I invite you to bring them for us to reflect on together. Our work life also affects, and is affected by, our mental health. I had an extensive corporate career before earning an MA in Counselling Psychology and HBA in Psychology. I understand the courage it takes to take the first step away from the familiar and toward new possibilities. I understand what it is to want your life to be different. Although everyone will struggle with grief, it can be a uniquely lonely experience. We also grieve for losses of other kinds: a job, our physical ability, a relationship, or a place we must leave. Caregivers also struggle. I understand the fear of hurting someone by expressing our own hurt. Everyone experiences traumas. Some, we can move on from. Some lead to changes in our lives in ways that we had never thought or imagined. It’s ok to need help with them, and with feelings of anger and grief.
