Maybe you're holding it together while quietly wondering why life feels harder than it should. Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what's happening beneath the surface, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that have gotten buried under stress, anxiety, and life's challenges. You don't need the perfect words or everything figured out. You just need to know that something feels off and be willing to take the first step.

My approach to counselling is strengths-based, where the client is the expert in their own experiences.

I also provide comprehensive ADHD and Autism assessments. An assessment can be a foundation for personal growth and success and a first step toward supports and accommodations.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? You may look like you’re functioning on the outside, yet inside feel anxious, disconnected, or exhausted from holding everything together. Therapy can be a space where you finally exhale without judgment, pressure, or having to explain yourself. I work with people who struggle with anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, relationship challenges, and burnout, including individuals who are neurodivergent, highly sensitive, or navigating cultural transitions.

I am a registered child psychologist specializing in helping toddlers, young children (up to age 12), and their families with common emotional, cognitive, and behavioural difficulties. I provide assessment and treatment tailored to meet the specific needs of each child and family. Because young children depend so heavily on those around them to address their developmental needs and challenges, I collaborate closely with parents. The parent-child relationship often provides the best opportunity for effective intervention. I provide a respectful and caring environment for parents to understand what their child's behaviour is communicating, what their child needs, and how they can meet those needs.

I work with clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, interpersonal/relationship difficulties, adjustment issues, personality disorders, and struggles with meaning, self-actualization, and career. I focus on helping clients better understand how past experiences, avoided emotions, and interpersonal patterns may be contributing to and maintaining their distress and suffering. Through building awareness in the context of a non-judgmental and unconditionally accepting therapeutic relationship, clients are able to develop more flexible and adaptive ways of coping, learn new ways of relating to others in their lives, develop skills, and experience deeper connection, acceptance, and respect for themselves and their emotions.

Do you find yourself going quiet, over-explaining, or carefully editing who you are just to get through the day?

My work is relational, depth-oriented, and neurodiversity-affirming. Together, we'll make sense of your inner world, understand the patterns shaping your relationships, and create lasting change without pathologizing who you are.

Who is emotionally focused therapy for?
Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is for couples who are emotionally distressed, stuck in an unsatisfying relationship pattern or feeling deeply alienated. They may even believe the relationship is beyond repair. Very often, the partners display intense anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal in the relationship. In addition, EFT is helpful to couples and individuals who have difficulty expressing emotions and those who have trouble regulating emotions.
Why do people need emotionally focused therapy?
People need emotionally focused therapy because the need for others is built into the brain, but the pressures of daily life can erode feelings of love, and couples often do not have the skills to find their way back to the comfort of each other. Instead, they may be stuck in repetitive patterns of anger, fear, grief, loss of trust, or a sense of betrayal. Emotionally focused therapy regards such strong negative feelings as expressions of protest over the loss of connection and turns them into pathways of reconnection.
What happens in emotionally focused therapy?
Over the course of eight to 20 weekly sessions, couples de-escalate their negative emotional reactivity to one another so that they can listen to each other and be responsive to each other’s needs. Then the deep emotional and physical bond is restored, giving partners a sense of comfort and security, which they can use to solve whatever problems come their way. The therapist plays an active role, helping partners understand how anger and withdrawal are actually misguided cries for connection.
What problems does emotionally focused therapy treat?
EFT is designed to help couples stuck in dysfunctional relationship patterns regain closeness and rebuild their relationship. Typically, such couples experience considerable distress, with partners feeling alienated and distrustful of one another, not certain their relationship can survive. EFT is also helpful to individuals experiencing attachment-related fears of loss; it helps them learn to use their fears as a way of eliciting the closeness they desire.
