I frequently hear from the people I support, that it feels like no one is really listening. Our existing relationships often don’t allow us to be SEEN and HEARD accurately, in the way that we need to be seen and heard. My goal as a therapist, is to offer a compassionate, non-judgmental presence, where you can feel seen, heard, and valued. It is my belief that through a collaborative counselling relationship we can start to become more connected to ourselves, as well as to those around us.

During our first sessions together, we will work to establish a trusting therapeutic relationship; it is important that you feel safe and comfortable.
Since 2018, I have been providing psychotherapy and assessment services. In individual therapy, I work with adults who are experiencing difficulties related to self-esteem, anxiety, stress, depression, negative emotions, emotion regulation, trauma, infertility, ADHD, relationship difficulties, sexuality, and self-growth. In couple’s therapy, I work with partners who are experiencing a wide range of difficulties such as communication struggles, conflicts, emotional/physical/sexual intimacy, trust, infidelity, betrayals, infertility, parenting and more.

Clients who see me are often in committed relationships, ones that are new and just getting started or relationships that have a long history of 20-40 years or more. People want to change the relationship, deepen it or decide if it is a keeper. What each person values may need to be clarified and shared. The language they use to communicate may not bring the results they want so we look at changing how they relate, the stance each takes, the influence of family values and history. How about intimacy: is it enough to satisfy each person, is it often enough, is it forgotten?

Whether you are struggling with relationship issues, self regulation, trauma, anxiety or major life transitions, you should not have to work through it alone. I provide a safe and supportive environment where we work through experiences using mindfulness and relaxation exercises, reframing thoughts and becoming more self-aware and in turn developing self-love. We work together to build resilience and emotional stability, while empowering you to take control and balance of your life.

I take a highly conversational approach and leverage a strong client-therapist relationship to facilitate the profound and lasting change desired.
Relationships are hard, and we do not always know how to effectively work through turbulence. Sometimes, we can act in ways that push others away. Other times, we can get pushed away for seemingly no rhyme or reason. In both situations it can feel impossible to find peace, whether that means working towards mending the relationship, or in some circumstances learning how to let go. These complex situations consume a great deal of our time and can leave us feeling sad, anxious, angry, and not like ourselves. Together, we can build healthy and satisfying relationships and get you back to feeling like YOU.

I help clients with anxiety, relationship challenges, depression, grief/loss, stress, and burnout/compassion fatigue.
I focus heavily on your individual values and helping you discover a meaning-centered life. I believe that therapies and the therapeutic relationship are as unique as the individual, while one style may suit you, it may not suit others. I am mindful of each individual who walks through the door.

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.
