I have experience in and am happy to work with partners with varying relationship dynamics and practices.
Feeling disconnected from our partners is a difficult and, at times, distressing experience. You may find yourselves stuck in a cycle of conflict that feels impossible to change. The good news is you and your partner are not alone, this happens to many couples and therapy is an effective tool to (re)establishing a secure emotional connection and deeper intimacy with your partner and with yourself. Through Emotionally Focused Therapy we will identify the current cycle you are experiencing and then create new patterns of interaction that will bring you emotionally closer as a couple and strengthen your connection to one another.

I believe the most important relationship we’ll ever have is with ourselves. When we experience trauma, how we view our world, self & others, changes. Even after the trauma has passed, our minds make us believe we are still in danger which makes it difficult to feel calm. Trauma causes intrusive thoughts, cognitive distortions, flashbacks & nightmares, which can lead to depression, anxiety, avoidance & maladaptive coping strategies including substance misuse. Feeling overwhelmed & managing intense emotions can be difficult. If this sounds like you, I am interested in working with you to heal past wounds & regain a sense of control.

My focus is on helping clients face difficult life challenges and the emotions, worries and fears that come with them. Stress, anxiety, and depression are more familiar to us than we would like. Our goal in therapy is to improve your coping skills and overall well-being. With that, I am a firm believer in the need for an individualized journey in therapy as opposed to a one-size fits all cookbook approach. This is about you and your life. It's deeper than some technique or strategy. And so therapy has to be founded on our relationship we build and the dynamics of it. Finding a therapist right for you is important also.

Whether we're collaborating as a family, focusing on your role as a parent, or guiding a teenager exploring their identity, relationship-building and goal-setting are essential to successful therapy.
With over 25 years of experience as a therapist in the mental health field, I believe the most crucial aspect of therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. I prioritize understanding your perspective and supporting your personal growth from there. Mental health challenges often lead to avoidance, which can complicate and diminish life satisfaction over time. It can be tough to get out of bed or complete daily tasks, but my training and experience equip me to help you reclaim a fulfilling life.

Sometimes in life, we just need additional support. I offer sessions to adolescents, adults & couples going through a variety of issues. We will often identify difficulties in interpersonal relationships (romantic, familial, work or otherwise) that may be causing distress. Challenging relationships can take a toll on our mental health and well-being. Some topics addressed include boundaries, attachment, and communication. I have an easygoing and supportive approach and believe you know yourself best. I encourage open communication throughout treatment on what is working & what's not working for you!

Relationship Issues Counsellors
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
