We all desire to discover and experience the best parts of who we are. But sometimes we need help exploring those parts of ourselves where we experience struggle or pain. Whether you are experiencing the negative impacts of trauma, engaging in unhealthy behaviours, or seeking new tools to be the best version of yourself, therapy can make a difference. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with 20 years experience. My approach is informed by the mind-body connection, attachment theory, and the recent contributions of neuroscience. My goal is to provide the tools and support you need to rediscover the best parts of who you truly are.

Sometimes we feel lost without a sense of who we are and where we are going, we feel stuck and pulled in different directions; on one hand we may feel moments of presence and clarity about what we want or who we are, and on the other hand we feel a mixture of afraid, critical, moody, distrusting, disconnected, confused, lacking confidence, and reacting on autopilot. When you get to know your inner world and have a better relationship with it, you will feel a greater sense of peace, confidence, and capability to handle the pitfalls of life, make decisions, and connect with others.

Let's face it, finding the right counsellor fit can be intimidating. Having to share vulnerably with a stranger is not something that most people find comfortable and yet the benefits can be transformative when the environment is right. The approach I take as a counsellor is often described as a mix of casual and easy-going with a matching of investigative curiosity and problem-solving. The goal of my work is to help clients deepen their understanding of themselves, their situation, and their environment so that they can best make an informed decision on how to move forward and ultimately improve their quality of life and agency.

Growth is a lifelong journey, and I provide a judgment-free safe space for clients to explore their inner world.

Seeking help is not always easy. Not knowing what to say, worrying about being a burden, fear of being judged or rejected…the list is endless. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help because we will have to put ourselves in a vulnerable place, where we surrender control. I believe vulnerability is the key to any close relationship. And here you are, bravely taking the first step towards the journey of healing and reconnection. Congratulations! Now that you have chosen to reflect on the past and move forward, I hope to have the honour of providing a safe and welcoming space for you to let the healing begin.

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 Biobehavioral 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.
