I have over sixteen years experience in treating mental health conditions in adolescents, adults and older adults. I am trained in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy and Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). In my journey as a therapist, I found CBT was not reaching the heart of the issue for my clients and was a surface level treatment. I searched for more and found ISTDP to be a more thorough explanation of the human person, particular what causes problems and psychopathology. I use ISTDP with an attachment based lens now as my main therapeutic modality.

Are you experiencing self doubt, anxiety, stress and feel stuck. Do you need to talk to someone who cares enough to listen and support you towards change you want to experience? Sharing struggles and offloading can help one see things in a different light and work towards the desired changes. Looking into past experiences, learnt behaviors and unhelpful thoughts and how they entrap us, can bring healing and set us free to pursue what we desire.

I work with parents, children, teens, and individuals who have problems with emotions (anxiety, anger, overwhelm), relationships (friendship and family conflict), and self-worth/self-esteem (low confidence, timid, shy). Additionally, I provide parenting support to develop a child's emotional resilience and connect parent/child. I use several tools including positive psychology and therapies based on self-compassion and mindfulness to develop new skills and heal emotional and relational wounds, which can help foster stronger connections, regulate emotions, create healthy boundaries, and increase self-worth and self-esteem.

I work with high performing individuals who either have their own businesses or are in high pressure careers. High performers tend to have many similar traits such as perfectionism, self-beliefs issues, high functioning anxiety / depression and high levels of stress. I work with people who feel like no matter what they achieve it is never good enough and they are always striving towards the next goal. There tends to be a lack of fulfilment and inability to be present and truly rest.

Have you been feeling - or have you been told - that there is something "wrong" with you? Have you had panic attacks, experienced issues with eating? Feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or lack energy? Are you feeling helpless, powerless, hopeless? Do you at times feel that you don't want to live any longer? Are sexual or relationship issues affecting the quality of your life? Have you seen a psychiatrist or a psychologist and the treatment didn't "work"?

It takes tremendous courage to commit to counselling and I appreciate that - it's not easy work but it can be deeply rewarding work. Each person's experience is unique and we all deserve the space to be able to connect with another human who is willing to meet us where we are with compassion. I don’t profess to know all things but I have certainly experienced many of life’s challenges. Personally and professionally, I know that without a doubt, we all need a person in our lives who we can connect with, share our stories, and be heard without fear of judgement. This is how we can find meaning within and from our experiences.

Attachment-based Counsellors
Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?
Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.
What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?
Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.
How long does attachment-based therapy last?
Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioural Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.
Does attachment-based therapy work?
Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
