For over three decades, I have had the privilege of helping clients while striving to provide the very best of counselling therapy they have entrusted me with. I am committed to excellence by staying at the forefront of therapeutic advancements, integrating current and effective techniques to empower clients in achieving their goals efficiently. In my practice, I provide a safe, comfortable, and supportive space where individuals can flourish, develop self-assurance, and embrace their full potential. My mission is to help clients overcome challenges, unlock their ability to lead fulfilling lives, and realize their authentic selves. I am dedicated to ensuring each individual feels seen, heard, and empowered to reach their goals.
Counselling has had a transformative impact on my own journey, serving as a powerful means of redemption and personal growth. It is now an immense blessing for me to be able to provide counselling for others, extending hope and facilitating healing in their lives, a possibility I firmly believe in because I, too, have navigated and overcome what once appeared to be insurmountable challenges and obstacles. I have made many mistakes and experienced many challenges, heartache, and sorrow, as well as incredible blessings in my lifetime. Today, I give God thanks for all His gifts – for the peace and assurance that I have even in difficult circumstances; for health, healing, and forgiveness; for family and friends; for the opportunity to do the work I do; and for His love that permeates my life.
I was divorced after 27 years of marriage and have two adult children. I married Bob Hardie in 2000, but was widowed in 2008. I have since remarried to a rancher who was also widowed. Together, we have 4 children, 8 grandchildren (one in Heaven), and 1 great-grandchild. We enjoy traveling and spending time with friends and family.
In addition to my private practice, I have a strong commitment to community outreach through my church, where I have actively facilitated various supportive and educational classes. These include GriefShare, a comprehensive program specifically designed to assist individuals navigating the complexities of grief and loss after experiencing the passing of a loved one. I also lead the Boundaries class, which is tailored for those facing separation or divorce, providing valuable insights and practical strategies to cultivate healthier relationships by establishing and maintaining personal boundaries. Furthermore, I facilitate the Changes That Heal class, offering a transformative experience that empowers participants to gain a deeper understanding of their past experiences, enabling them to build a more resilient and fulfilling future.
