I want to work with you/your partner on whatever it is that has done work on you/your relationship.
Are you struggling with re-living experiences from your past? The version of yourself just out of reach and held back by rumination, self-doubt, depression and/or fear? Struggle handling stress or knowing who you are? Wounded and shackled by the daily slog of modern-day living. Or are you in a relationship where arguments are frequent or withdrawal is commonplace? Where the primary issue seems to fall on 'poor communication' and you find yourself questioning what got you together, to begin with? Marriage, partnerships and relationships should be a place you find comfort and solace in, not abandonment, rejection and fear.

I value a real, down to earth approach and making authentic connections with my clients. You are the expert on your life and I'm here to listen and give you the space to explore and unpack it all, from the present stressors of work, relationship and parenting pressures and the past where it all began. If you want something more than manuals, coaching and worksheets, I might be the right person for you. I aim to help you make connections between the past and the present, to empower you and to help you make choices and set boundaries that help you to work with the factors in your life rather than work against them.

Together we will focus on exploring your emotions, strengthening your relationship (s), refining your communication abilities, and tackling any root causes that may be present to promote emotional growth, strengthen your relationships, create positive and lasting changes in your life, improve communication, and repair strained relationships.
Are you tired of strained relationships? Do you find yourself fighting about the same things repeatedly, constantly needing reassurance from others, and distancing yourself from loved ones to cope emotionally? Is this causing feelings of sadness, anxiety, anger, disconnection from yourself and others as a result? Are you struggling with overthinking and negative self-talk, leading to a breakdown in communication? As a therapist specializing in individual and couples' support, I can help you and your partner understand that these behaviours are commonly used coping mechanisms that are rooted in past emotional wounds.

Life can be overwhelming, leaving you feeling helpless and alone. It is not easy to find your way forward. Recreating yourself in a way that embraces who you are and where you've been, to empower you to move towards a life you may envision, is not simple but it can be done. My goal is to help you find this path. Whether faced with a lifetime of challenges, or impacted by a single traumatic event, I bring empathy, warmth, compassion and understanding to the relationship. From that place of safety, I will support you to find the road to acceptance, healing, and peace of mind.

My clients often describe the experience of “feeling stuck or trapped” when their inner resources become either depleted or no longer effectively assist them with moving forward in life. If this sounds familiar, I invite you to a shared relational learning experience that is uniquely tailored to your inner journey of self-exploration and provides you with important tools to re-discover yourself. Resilience and hope are results of serious, repeated efforts to overcome life’s challenges. I am here to work through them with you, every step of the way…within a client-centred, non-judgemental, anti-oppressive, and sex positive framework.

People see you as the one who has it all together, but deep down you feel like something is missing, you have feelings of shame and thoughts like "I'm not good enough". You're tired, over-worked, overwhelmed and anxious much of the time. Putting up this facade is taking a toll on your emotional health. Constantly striving to do it all is exhausting and not fulfilling for you.

If you feel lost, stuck, or like your world is crumbling around you, you are not alone. Most people experience this when facing significant life changes. An aching feeling and a deep sadness accompany lost hopes and dreams. Times like this call into question, "Who am I?" Your identity feels like it has been swallowed up by the days and years spent tending to life's demands. This makes trying to figure out your next steps both overwhelming and terrifying. You want to feel on solid ground again and for your life to have purpose, meaning, and genuine connections to others.

If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or simply feel stuck, I would like to help.
I believe that anyone can benefit from counselling. We all have our struggles and sometimes talking with someone in a safe, supportive and confidential environment can help to see things differently, develop new skills to put toward problems, and create new meaning about your own personal story. The most important factor in the therapeutic relationship, as in any relationship, is feeling safe and understood. I offer a warm, non-judgmental and open space in which to deepen your self-awareness and reach your goals.

I have experience working with children, individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, emotion regulation, relationship challenges, grief, low-self esteem, parenting, and attachment and more.
Virtual, Phone, and In Person sessions available (in person in Niagara Falls). Sometimes things can feel overwhelming. We can lose focus, motivation, or feel lost. That is okay, and absolutely normal. Having a supportive and safe space to express yourself, without fear of judgement can be beneficial. Identifying your goals, barriers, and your priorities can help organize your thoughts and start the path to healing. It can be tough to look forward when you are feeling stuck in one spot. Recognizing and reminding you of your strengths can be empowering. It can be hard to ask for help, so congratulations on taking the first step.

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.
