Counseling

Inspiring Hope Center for Counselling and Play Therapy is a family-oriented practice where we strive to help our clients use the strengths and resources they already have, but may not be aware they possess, in order to make positive changes in their lives. We provide counselling for children, teenagers, adults, couples and families. Our therapists offer diverse strategies and approaches to therapy in order to assist with improving relationships, overcoming the effects of depression and anxiety, healing from traumatic experiences, finding life direction, and achieving greater happiness. Our therapeutic style uses a totally NON-judgemental approach, helping clients with physical, emotional and mental health issues improving their sense of well‐being, alleviating feelings of distress and resolve crises. We use an eclectic approach therapy technique as an integrative form of psychotherapy that adapts to the unique needs of each specific client, depending on the problem, the treatment goals, and the person's expectations and motivation. This approach will help my clients achieve insights, develop strategies and provide tools that can be used immediately to improve your quality of life. We believe that behaviour is affected by age, race, class, family, relationships, gender, sexual orientation, spiritual beliefs, disability status, and that people sometimes need help to reach a state of psychological well-being. Being culturally competent gives me ability to understand, communicate with, and effectively interact with people across cultures. Cultural competence encompasses being aware of one's own world view, developing positive attitudes towards cultural differences. gaining knowledge of different cultural practices and world views. We specialize in issues of depression, trauma, anger management and behavioural issues, eating disorders, grief, PTSD, self-esteem, self-harm and suicidal ideations, teen violence, and women’s health issues, as well as programs for the prevention and support for victims of domestic and sexual violence. We will also provide educational information to better assist clients in defining goals and implementing action plans to achieve personal, social, educational, and vocational adjustment. You’re not alone… We'll help you through it!

Certified Life & Career Coach

I coach healthcare professionals and school leaders whose work has become their life. After years of being in the same industry, they feel stuck. Are you on the verge of burnout? I can help. Are you stressed-out and overworked? Do you want to reignite your passion and achieve better work-life balance? With my Purpose, Balance, and Bliss program you can achieve it. Despite how it feels right now, you do have options. Best of all, you don’t have to be a slave to ANY job to do it well. You’ve just have fallen into the trap of giving to everyone, but yourself. You have allowed others to dictate their expectations without setting boundaries and expectations of your own. You have made everyone else’s request come before your wellbeing and happiness. But it doesn’t have to be that way. This is where I come in. I help you gain clarity around what a fulfilling life means to you. We’ll design a plan to get you there while helping you leverage your time and effectiveness. You’ll learn to set and honor commitments to yourself and make your goals a priority. No more being last on your list. My clients constantly tell me how much lighter and in control they feel. They realize that they can have a fulfilling career AND a social life outside of work. They develop the confidence they didn’t even know was missing. I know how it feels because I was there. I transformed my relationship with work and went from feeling like it was something I had to do, to something I woke up excited to do. There is nothing more gratifying than helping my clients experience this for themselves. It’s why I became a life and career coach. Today I manage to fill my days with meaningful work, a complete social calendar and make a positive impact on those I encounter. I found my purpose and learned to maintain a work-life balance. This is what I teach my clients. I help them manage their minds, rework their schedules, and reconnect with their passions so they can experience all life has to offer.
