People seek help from therapy on the basis of a healthy longing to find relief from their emotional suffering. Are you struggling with painful symptoms of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger/resentment, guilt or grief? Do you find yourself repeating self-defeating behaviours, like over-eating, over-spending or over-drinking? Are you stuck in familiar but dissatisfying relationship patterns with your partner, friends, parents, kids or coworkers? Maybe you are lonely but have trouble trusting others. Perhaps you wish you could express your feelings or thoughts, but are held back by a fear of judgement or rejection.

They say that for therapy to be effective, the relationship between client and therapist plays a massive role.
Challenges and suffering are a part of everyone’s journey. To be human is to feel the full range of emotions - the good, the bad and the ugly. But emotions can be confusing and cause a great of distress. I can help you understand what you're feeling and why you're feeling it, so you can use your emotions as a guide to living a full and meaningful life. When you sit across from me, you get an authentic, genuine person. I’ll laugh with you and cry with you. Because there is power in being able to share your emotional experience with someone, so you know you’re not alone.

The result of our work is a deeper, more meaningful relationship with your authentic Self, others and the world.
DREAMS are a creative way to work with the unconscious; to be creative means to bring something into being, and the unconscious is a source for that new being. We are not just what we know of ourselves. Our suffering has meaning and if we are struggling or in crisis this can be the catalyst for change. Carl Jung (1875-1961), tells us that "certain types of pain...are symbolically meaningful. This is one way the unconscious expresses itself." Our psyche is a part of nature and dreams come from that nature to speak to us in a metaphoric language.

Many of my clients seek therapy for additional support when encountering unexpected challenges or problems without clear solutions. As a therapist, I focus on establishing a secure relationship with my clients, allowing us to speak candidly and get curious about current struggles. Because of their focus on personal development, many of my clients opt to receive ongoing support to process issues that arise over time.

Some are grappling with depression or anxiety, others with relationship difficulties, historic issues, or life transitions.
These are unprecedented times, rife with unprecedented challenges. The uncertainty of the situation, the lack of a map for understanding the present and envisioning the future, is a source of chronic stress for almost everyone one, and takes a particularly heavy toll on some. Its impacts are being felt at every level, experienced in ways that continue to evolve and that may be overwhelming. We are all new to this situation, but we are not new to grappling with unforeseen problems or having to pick our way though the unknown. Helping people to do that, even in ordinary times, is what my work is all about.

As a relationship counsellor, I help individuals, couples and families build healthy, relationships within themselves and with those around them, focusing on improving connection, communication, and conflict resolution through mindfulness and emotional regulation strategies.
Please note, as of September 15, 2023 I have moved to Suite 502, 933 17th Ave. S.W., Calgary AB T2T 5R6. Relationships have different seasons and cycles. Challenges can arise however when great sex (or any intimacy at all) is a distant memory, communication becomes stuck, and a feeling of closeness is longed for again. These are all signs that a different approach is needed to end the frustration and created a renewed aliveness. The desire for intimacy, to feel connected, and to matter are key aspects of who we are as human beings.
