Let’s talk. Something has changed for you. It's the one thing that is guaranteed, things will change. You are likely either struggling with a change in circumstances or looking to make a change. Families change, jobs change, bodies change, relationships change, we age and experience change and mental health can change. Being able to adapt to change is one of the predictors of a happy life. It sounds simple but often it is not. Having someone to partner with to navigate the difficult changes you are experiencing can be very helpful.

I've been in practice for clinical counselling since 2010. Over the course of time, I have adopted a practical and evidence-based approach to clinical counselling. Some of my areas of expertise are anxiety, depression, inter-personal relationships, family of origin challenges, career/work and trauma. I have years of additional training under my belt but I've found that it comes down to the relationship between the counsellor and the client. In this case, it's what you know AND who you want in your corner. I enjoy working with a variety of clients, and most especially those who are ready to do the work to get the life the want!

Life not feeling right, something is just not fitting, or working, relationships feels on edge or unavailable. There is a large stigma around therapy and mental health and it is saddening as it keeps too many people away from a trained ear that can help untangle and heal those things we carry that are in our way. You know, procrastination, or listening to our partner, or getting that promotion at work, or understanding why your team isn't performing and thriving. Perhaps life just isn't making sense in general. Or we feel that we just don't fit and no one can possibly understand. Help is here.

I believe that building a strong relationship is essential in counselling.
Life's challenges, such as anxiety, depression, or feeling stuck, can arise from various experiences— relationship issues, loss, divorce, poor communication patterns, career changes, parenting difficulties, self-esteem concerns, academic pressures, purpose and meaning, boundary setting, or trauma. My goal is to support both adults and youth in healing and growing through these transitions and with a keen understanding that everyone faces struggles, I am committed to providing a supportive and non-judgmental space for clients.

Couples Counselling
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
