Relationship challenges may lead you to feel discouraged or even hopeless about the possibility that things will ever get better or that you can get back what you once had with your partner.
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.

I see clients of all ages and backgrounds, presenting with a wide array of issues and concerns. Some are seeking a long-term therapeutic relationship, and for others, a single session is adequate. I usually begin with 60-90 minute sessions, and then we can folIow-up with 30-60 minute sessions. Either way, I want to create a safe and productive therapeutic environment for clients to feel comfortable in talking about their lives. I want to collaborate with clients to help them glean a better understanding of their lives, and come up with ways to make it through their day feeling better and more confident in their actions.

I believe healing happens through authentic relationship, so I bring my full self into counselling. My hope is for you to show up exactly as you are, and know that you are seen, heard, and accepted.

It starts with listening deeply and creating trust and openness, the foundations for a therapeutic relationship.
Hi and welcome! I appreciate that it takes courage and strength to start this process. Sometimes, we need help to work through issues. You don't have to deal with your struggles, questions, grief, anxiety, depression, and all of life’s other servings alone. In a non-judgmental, confidential and safe space, shifts can begin to take place. I utilize various modalities, but always come from a person-centered, trauma-informed, and compassion focused lens. I believe in the strength and resilience in every person, and that includes you! Your story matters. You matter…and you deserve healing and happiness.

Have you recently lost a loved one? Are you dealing with relationship struggles? Do you feel stuck or insecure? Are you going through a difficult life transition? I specialize in working with clients on issues related to: grief and loss, anxiety, relationship and marital conflict, addiction, childhood trauma, body image and self-esteem, and codependency. Sessions give individuals and couples the opportunity to talk through problems and explore issues using different approaches, depending on each individual's needs. My wish is to empower couples and individuals to find fulfilment in their daily lives, even through adversity.

I see counselling as a collaborative process and believe that therapy offers a chance to heal, grow, and excel in life. I am passionate about helping people see their strengths and recover from limiting beliefs that are often a result of the minor or major traumas that are a part of life. I view symptoms and undesired behaviours as wise, but outdated adaptations that can be transformed. Befriending our mind and finding self acceptance are key tenets that influence my therapy. With a strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, I strive to provide a safe, curious, and humorous (at times), space for your personal growth.

Bringing in curiosity and compassion to the painful patterns that seem to repeat in life is a great first step in building a new relationship with yourself, where you become your own ally.
If you are feeling lost, disconnected or overwhelmed by emotion, you will find a safe space to explore your challenges in life with a supportive, empathic listener. Modern living is inherently stressful, and many resort to using unhealthy coping strategies that can get you stuck; by getting curious about the stuck-ness together, we can work together to untangle the knots and shift back into your natural state of wholeness. I believe the whole essence of healing is about finding a way to turn towards yourself when you're hurting, instead of the natural tendency to avoid/distract/numb/repress, and I can help you make this shift within
