There are times in all our lives when we could use a little support. If you are dealing with depression, anxiety, chronic illness, insomnia, stress & overwhelm, or a sexual health concern, it can feel like a constant battle with your emotions, thoughts, and body. Some people are experiencing these challenges for the first time and aren't sure what to do. Others have been struggling for years and need a new sense of hope for lasting change. Seeking treatment can help you feel less lost and provide you with a roadmap for well-being.

Life can certainly feel uncertain at times. Are you experiencing some stress or challenges and looking for professional and confidential support?

It can be difficult to go to counselling, particularly for the first time. Finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with is an important, and at times challenging, process. You likely want someone that can give you direction or tools, but also you connect with and feel supported by. I too feel this is important and strive to provide you with an experience that is both warm / caring AND competent/ knowledgeable. For many years I have worked with individual's and couple's concerns in this manner. I specialize in helping individuals or couples move forward, heal their pain, feel happier and find more peace.

I provide a nonjudgmental space that encourages clients to be themselves.

My areas of experience and interest include: Anxiety, BPD, Couples and Relationships (Monogamous & Alternative Lifestyles, Kink friendly), Depression, LGBTQ2S+, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Sexuality and Gender Identity, Stress Management, Trauma & PTSD.

Hi! Let’s take a deep breath: you’ve made it past the first step of identifying you need some help. In a world that is often too loud and busy, it is easy to fall into thought patterns that you are lacking; as a therapist, it is my role to help you shift that narrative from deficit to plenty. I believe mental health is fluid experience and that understanding your emotions and building meaningful coping strategies is key to sustainable resilience. My role is to create a safe and empathetic space for you to be vulnerable and show up as your authentic self. My practice style is grounded in attachment-based and family systems theory.

My 20+ years experience working with couples and individuals will be noticed. Relationships, Communication, Men's issues and Identity formation are all areas I excel at.
