Journey Forward Counselling

04/17/2026

Sometimes people are surprised to learn that alongside my counselling practice, I also work in an elementary school.

Being in the school environment keeps me closely connected to the day-to-day realities kids are navigating—emotionally, socially, and within their families.

It is a privilege to support children and families in both spaces 🤍

April is almost fully booked, with only 4 spots remaining.

If you’ve been thinking about starting counselling—or returning for support—this is a good time to secure your session before availability is gone.

I support individuals and families navigating separation, co-parenting, and life transitions, with a focus on emotional support and practical strategies.

One of the hardest parts of separation—or dating after it—is how quickly it can impact your sense of worth.

When someone walks away, pulls back, or treats you like you are replaceable, it is easy to start questioning yourself.

But that feeling is not a fact.

Often, it reflects their capacity, their patterns, or their limitations—not your value.

Rebuilding your sense of self after this kind of experience takes intention, support, and honest reflection.

You are not disposable.

It started as an idea… then became a dream… and eventually, I decided to take the risk and follow it.

Today, I had the opportunity to present virtually along with Melissa Bruderer-Meehan to the Law Society, speaking with family law lawyers from across Saskatchewan.

We talked about the realities of compassion fatigue, burnout, and high-conflict personalities—and more importantly, practical tools they can start using right away.

16 lawyers showed up to do the work and learn how to better support their clients (and themselves).

Moments like this remind me why I started.

No regrets—just growth, learning, and continuing to step through fear.

Next stop? I’m thinking national.

Cheers to big impact—and to what is next!

High-conflict clients and adversarial matters can significantly impact a lawyer’s time, energy, and cognitive bandwidth. Ongoing exposure to emotionally intense files — particularly those involving anger, trauma, personality-driven conflict, or persistent disputes — can quietly erode clarity a...

Thinking about separating or going through a divorce? It can feel really overwhelming—and the legal costs can add up fast, especially when your are asking your lawyer questions as things come up.

To the parent who feels unseen, unheard, or unfairly judged —
please don’t mistake exhaustion for weakness.

You have carried more than anyone realizes.
You’ve stood in courtrooms, therapy offices, and empty homes — still showing up for your kids.

Your love, your fight, your resilience — that IS the story that matters most.
