I have worked with people of all ages and have effectively helped clients find relief from issues such as depression, sexual issues, anxiety, PTSD and communication difficulties. As a relational therapist, I work with couples, triads, quads and relationships of all types, including those with ENM or "alternative" relationship practices. I also have a great deal of experience working with adolescents suffering from trauma and oftentimes I find it helpful to involve other family members to assist in providing support for one another.

For couples, trauma can mean a tumultuous relationship, hurting those in the vicinity.
Our reactions can hurt our relationships. After experiencing stress or trauma we can experience anxiety, spaciness, tension, temper flares, relational conflict, or intense shame or worthlessness. Trauma can be obvious - a sudden, horrible event, but for many, life has been overwhelming, disconnected or emotionally isolated for a very long time. I use creative and innovative experiential therapies to help you feel calmer in your body, even for those who have been in talk therapy for a long time or those for whom talk therapy or CBT has only been minimally effective.

Are you struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, or just too much stress? Is depression settling in and stealing your energy and joy? Or is your relationship at a crossroad? Feeling stuck and lost without some better tools to communicate and connect with your partner? Tired of seeing everyone else's happy couple update on Facebook and wondering if you are the only one in a crappy relationship? Or are you the parent of an ADHD child while struggling to manage your own ADHD symptoms or your partner's? Or are you a leader or an entrepreneur in a high-pressure work environment wearing many hats and always on the go?

I work with couples to help enhance and restore relationships.
I believe that healing, growth and change are possible. I recognize the innate goodness, strength and potential in each individual and consider it a privilege to help others recognize and live consistent with that potential. I approach my work with clients as a collaborative partnership and respect their goals, pace, and readiness. The course of treatment tends to have three general stages: assessment and education; symptom management and relief; and healing underlying issues.

As a result, I can help you understand and develop more safe and secure connections that will lead to improved mental health and overall well-being that is crucial for healing from the majority of traumas, addictions and relationship issues you might experience in life.
My career in social services has given me the rare opportunity and privilege to accompany others throughout much of life’s journey--from the miracle of birth, as an adoption advocate to helping senior populations and their families as a counsellor managing long term care and end of life issues. One of the universal truths that I have learned is that struggle and adversity is an inescapable part of the human experience. Rather than let these challenges destroy you, my role is to help you on your journey to grow and work through the hardships of life and become the healthiest and happiest version of yourself.

I work with adolescents and adults seeking individual, child/parent, or relationship therapy.
My view on therapy is very simple, though not always easy: 'through relationships, we heal’. Many of the barriers that inhibit healthy relationships include negative self-talk, fear of judgement, and our need to maintain a sense of control, especially when we are deeply hurt or wounded. Trauma does not discriminate and it does not wait for an opportune time to present, but we can make sense of it and heal old wounds that hold us back from really connecting with those we love.

Relationship is everything. We all have many relationships, and often, those relationships go into conflict. Conflict in any relationship leads to emotional distress. Whether that conflict is with a spouse or lover, ourselves, friends or family, our community, or even the broader world, all of our relationships and the conflict they can contain influence our mood, thoughts, decisions, behaviors, and communications. External relational conflict occurs between spouses, friends, family, colleagues, and others. Internal relational conflict occurs between us and things like food, our bodies, and sense of self-worth.

I am passionate about helping individuals and couples reach their full potential.
Do you regularly hear a voice that says “I’m not good enough”? Do you feel out of control and powerless against your emotions? Anxiety can be overwhelming. You have experienced it for a long time but dealing with it on your own has proven to be unsuccessful. You want to talk about it but others tend not to understand and their attempts to fix you can feel shaming. Perhaps you are experiencing struggles in your marriage or partnership. You have grown apart from your loved one and don’t know how to salvage things. There is one good thing about these realizations for you; now you know you need a real change. Fortunately, there is hope.
