I have a special interest in post-secondary concerns, parenting, adoption, ADHD, procrastination, sleep and insomnia, trauma, grief, mindfulness, burnout, and chronic pain & illness.
Everyone has times in their life when they can benefit from some additional support. Seeing a counsellor shouldn’t be an intimidating experience. My goal is to help you discover new ways of looking at your life and learn skills that will help you move forward. You are the expert in what you are going through, but I will support and guide you as you set goals and make the changes you want to make.

My style is warm and engaging, and I create a safe and positive environment for you to explore your challenges. I really enjoy working with creative people: makers, designers, and thinkers.

My practice is particularly focused on helping people improve their sleep, navigate sexual concerns and relationships, manage ADHD, and build stronger connections through couples counselling.
My approach is rooted in emotional depth and the belief that healing begins with feeling. I help clients process hidden emotions and patterns shaping current struggles. Drawing on CBT and SFBT—but never cookie-cutter methods—I support lasting change by integrating emotion and rewriting unconscious stories to fit each unique journey.

While I may use IFS to help conceptualize your concerns, if needed or requested, I am able to offer other treatment modalities proven to be effective for specific concerns such as PTSD (CPT, ART) or Insomnia (CBT-I).
Therapy can be hardcore. I appreciate and understand that it is no easy task to acknowledge our pain, struggles, and/or imperfections. In my practice, I work to create a relationship that feels welcoming and non-judgemental. My approach is fundamentally compassionate - I don't believe it's my role to label anything dysfunctional and I don't make DSM diagnoses. You’re the expert on what isn’t working in your life. I've found that every reaction or behaviour is a response to something. If we can stay curious long enough, we can figure that reason out and from there, come up with alternative solutions or ways to heal from the past.

How effective is treatment for insomnia?

The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.

Are there specific medications for sleep problems?

There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.

Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?

There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.

What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?

Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
