I have trained extensively in emotion-focused therapy for individuals and couples, and am certified as an advanced emotion-focused family therapist and supervisor.
I work with clients to explore painful, stuck areas in their lives in order to open the possibility of relating to themselves and others in more adaptive, accepting, and meaningful ways. Issues clients commonly present with in my practice include depression, anxiety, eating disorders, trauma, and relationship issues. I strive to understand the unique struggles and strengths of each client and from this understanding develop an appropriate treatment plan. I offer individual, couples, and family therapy.

I work with clients who are finding their daily life is disrupted by anxiety, low mood, behaviour issues, interpersonal issues, negative thoughts, feelings of loneliness, grief, regret and many other presenting concerns. Together we tackle the various stumbling blocks that sometimes arise on life’s journey in order to help them feel more calm, more connected, more joyful and have a renewed sense of purpose. We often find clarity and deeper understanding of where they've been, where they're going and who they want to be on the journey.

Working from a client-centered approach I acknowledge that every person has their own unique set of experiences. Rather than utilizing a single methodology I follow an integrative approach to draw at tools, philosophies and evidence based interventions from a variety of methodologies to support individuals, couples and families as they navigate their past, present and future. I value sharing a comfortable and judgement free space for all people.

Are you searching for a way to grow? Do you feel stuck or feel an overwhelming disconnection? My clients often struggle with anxiety, self-worth, and how they show up in their relationships as their unconscious material and past woundedness are creating challenges in their ways of relating. They are often seeking more sovereignty and empowerment, while exploring their style of attachment and building relational intelligence. They often seek to deepen their spiritual connection and feel a sense of belonging, while dropping into more peace and rootedness in their daily living.

Unfortunately, we can struggle to find our internal resources when these events occur, and then we have great difficulty using our resources and natural wisdom to make changes to get better. I work within a range of CBT and DBT informed strategies, to gain mastery over problems that can seem unsolvable. Are you frustrated and curious about why it can be so hard to get the basic things that you want in life? Is it hard to even know what you want? Do you wonder where to start? I can help.

Family Therapy Counsellors
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
