Does this sound like you and your relationship? You fight in circles about the same (petty) things and don’t know how to make it better. Minor disagreements can erupt into full-blown arguments. You walk on eggshells to avoid conflicts. You don’t feel the same connection and closeness to your partner. You wonder if this is it…or if there is hope for your relationship. If you are feeling tired, hopeless, and exasperated, you’re in the right place. I help couples stop vicious cycles of fights and start communicating in a healthy and effective way, so both partners feel heard and understood; restoring trust and connection in your bond.

Grief can be isolating and it can be difficult to understand if things are getting better or worse. What you are dealing with can take time and you don't have to do it alone.

The benefits of my approach lie in using different techniques, tailored to the client's unique personality. Some clients like a directive approach, they want to be guided, to be given an almost 'engineering' model explaining our inner life; some prefer a non-directive, client-centered approach, where they would explore their inner landscape with the therapist as a co-traveler. All clients have relational needs which need to be addressed to, and the therapeutic relationship provides safety, validation, 'repaired' parenting, mutuality, client's self-definition and empowerment. Helping clients practice autonomy is my passion!

Human suffering takes many forms. Whether through conflict, trauma, strained relationships, or life transitions, it often leaves one feeling adrift without purpose. If you need empathy to help you understand what you are going through, some context for why you are stuck, and guidance to move on from here, I offer a supportive, non-judgemental approach. With over 40 years of professional experience and drawing from my life encounters, I integrate Cognitive behavioural, narrative, and solution-focused therapy within a strength-based client-centred framework

I am a Registered Social Worker and Registered Marriage and Family Therapist. I help couples heal from affairs/infidelity, heal from addictions and chronic health issues, and improve conflict management. I work with couples who want to rebuild their relationships and those who simply want to learn how to bring their best selves into relationships (e.g. premarital counselling). I also help single people learn to improve their relationship skills. In therapy, we work together on mastering communication skills, but also on building better friendships, and helping couples build meaningful lives together.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, unappreciated, or unacknowledged at work or in your relationships? Maybe you say “yes” when asked to do something only to resent it and have difficulty setting boundaries. At home, you might feel like you can’t get anything right. You don’t understand why you can’t seem to “do” relationships and what it is about you that’s the problem, but you keep running into the same problem, so you figure it must be you. You get anxious or tense going home, not knowing if your partner will be happy to see you or upset with you for something. If this sounds familiar, I can help.

Life is full of discouraging problems and it's easy to get overwhelmed, ignore the situation, pretend we don't need to change, or quit in frustration. We might hide who we are from others thinking we are unlovable or push others away so they can't see who we are. Counselling focuses on examining our self, our ways of navigating the world and situations, and trying to make changes that let us live happier, more authentically, and more free.
