Relationships are rarely without issue despite loving one another. We become confused about how relating became so difficult! Concerns become overwhelming resulting in deep hurt, uncertainty and distancing. In fact 80% of divorce is the result of emotional disconnect, and only 40% is due to high conflict. Neither have to happen. It is possible to have better, healthier, loving relationships! I work with you to help you both understand and use tools for your disconnects, strengths, triggers, and communication breakdowns. Relating is a learned process. We can learn to turn toward, not against or away from one another and enjoy again!

I specialize in helping people who experience depression, anxiety, low self-confidence, and painful feelings in current or past significant relationships. My work involves assisting people to make sense of their emotional reactions and supporting them to use this information to make wise decisions for their life. At other times, I help people alleviate their painful emotions by using techniques that change unhelpful emotion states to more invigorating emotion states. I believe in practicing as a culturally competent therapist, striving to be knowledgeable, open and respectful of the cultural beliefs and practices of all people.

Feel free to reach out to get on my wait list. I work with ADHD, grief, loss, depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma and more. I have a wide range of work experience using art, storytelling, and music to promote wellness in the lives of children, youth, adults, and communities at large. I work from narrative, CBT and strength-based frameworks. Something unique to my approach is that I view all situations through intersectional, anti-capitalist, and anti-colonial lenses because I believe the personal is political. I find this to be a particularly healing place to work from. Feel free to ask me to explain this further if we meet.

Counselling for Emotional and Narcissistic Abuse. Whether its family or your partner who have toxic traits, you are noticing the anxiety this relationship is causing you and the cycle never ends of being sucked in with love bombing just to be hurt again with put downs and humiliation. I know how painfully lonely and isolating it can be to make that decision to step away from the abuse. There is a lot of shame that comes up, as well as self doubt. You may even question if YOU are narcissistic. I help support and empower women to find the courage in their journey to go from surviving to thriving and turn guilt into confidence!
