Seeking helping for your relationship is a huge deal and the fact you are reading my profile is a HUGE deal.
Deep down you WANT to stay with your partner but the day to day struggle are just getting too much. You have got yourself into a cycle where one pursues and the other withdraws. You are both asking the same question, do I matter? Will you be there for me? Can I rely on you? I get it, sometimes the relationship feels too much. Perhaps something has happened? You have tried to resolve your difficulties but you feel like you are going around in circles. Hope is there, we can CHANGE this.

We all feel untethered at various points in life. I can offer a different perspective in those moments, challenge negative self talk and help you recognize and build on your strengths. If you want change in your life, I can help you craft that. If you need to re-establish boundaries, I can help you do this. If anxiety or depression are overwhelming I can help you develop healthy strategies. If you're struggling with changes in relationships or loss of relationship I offer compassionate constructive assistance. There is nothing that you can't talk about with me, and once shared, problems can be carried and resolved together.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience counselling adults, with a focus on couples.
Sometimes people get stuck. Individuals and couples come to me for counselling to talk about a variety of problems - things like conflict in relationships, anxiety, depression, overwhelming stress, abuse, grief, vocational crisis, or anger. A counselling relationship helps people to move from understanding issues to co-creating solutions - solutions that shrink and manage problems. I use an integrative approach, drawing on different counselling methods depending on what works best for the client, including practices from cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and solution-based therapy. I can help you to move through difficult times with courage, accountability, and positive resolve.

I also provide couples therapy to help address the interpersonal dynamics that keep you and your partner stuck.
Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, and/or difficulty managing the stressors or triggers in your life? Are you hoping to address the issues underlying your mental health symptoms? Perhaps you learned some helpful skills but found it difficult to keep using them or they did not resolve the issue. Maybe you have a sense that there is something unresolved internally that needs to be addressed. We can work together to overcome your old unhelpful patterns that prevent you from being and feeling like the best version of yourself.

Registered social worker accepting referrals for in person services (individual, or couples). I do a lot of work around trauma processing, relationships, and shifting how we respond to our feelings so they don't hold so much power over us. I do my best to make this as comfortable, or at least productively uncomfortable, as I can. I use evidence based, trauma-informed, tools that are tailored to the needs of your moment specifically, to meet you where you’re at and to begin empowering you in your moving forward (or in figuring out what that could look like).

That could be your partner, other loved ones or activities, or your sensuality.
You look at your life, and find that something feels off. Maybe your sex life is not what you imagined it would be. Or you’re not feeling fulfilled in your relationship/s. You know what's important to you - connection? intimacy? adventure? family? - but something prevents you from living life to the fullest. Perhaps anxiety, low mood, self-criticism, or shame get in the way. Or you’ve faced a stressor or health issue that has brought new roadblocks. You may have even been on autopilot for so long, being the kind of person you “should” be for others, that you don’t know exactly who you are anymore.

Psychotherapy literally means "Healing the Soul." Our personalities and the world around us are multifaceted and often mysterious. Exploring the mystery of who we are can bring clarity and meaning to our lives, our relationship with the world, and open new perspectives and possibilities in how we live. I have worked and studied in many areas including social work, philosophy, music, martial arts and shamanic practices. I use a wide range of modalities depending on the needs, uniqueness and preferences of each person. My therapy training includes Existential-Integrative psychotherapy which emphasizes the search for authenticity, meaning and wholeness in our lives.

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.
