Starting therapy to address various challenges such as trauma, anxiety, addiction, depression, and self-esteem can feel overwhelming.

My approach is based on Emotionally Focused Therapy ( EFT) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) which emphasize the science of attachment and emotion.
I work with individuals and couples who want to deepen their resilience and stay engaged in their relationships even when things are hard. My clients are diverse: parents who are breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma and conflict, LGBTQIA+ folks who are coming out “late” in life, couples who want to heal their relationship and deepen their intimacy, people (especially men) who struggle with managing their anger, and people navigating separation and divorce. I know what this stuff like - I've lived through it and I've supported clients through it - so I know how hard it is to find a counsellor who really gets it.

I am an emotionally-focused counsellor who specializes in somatic (body-based) approaches to building caring relationships with your emotions. While I am trained in many different approaches to therapy, I prioritize emotion-focused, body-based work as we now live in a society where these parts of ourselves often have been de-valued and cast out from our daily routines. However, our bodies and emotions are with us throughout our lives, and bringing them into our conscious experience can bring us a much deeper sense of harmony that we all desire. If this sounds foreign to you, don't worry- it's never too late to start this work!

My approach draws on narrative therapy, EFT, mindfulness, and, most importantly, the insights you bring to the room.

My formal training is in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
Beginning counselling is an intimidating process and I congratulate you for making it this far! Good job! Counselling offers a space for growth, stabilization, recovery, healing, and connection. I believe that much of human suffering is the result of disconnection and loneliness. As humans, we require connection. When we do not have this or we fear our connection is under threat, we respond. In counselling, we can explore this response to better understand our patterns and why we often find ourselves stuck, isolated, and distraught.

In life, change is the only constant. I heard that a lot in my life, but the only time it resonated with me was when the change was so difficult to bear.

I offer this safe space to support you as you go through your unique journey by highlighting and empowering you along the way and ensuring that your experiences are honoured, your voice is heard, your emotions are validated and most of all, your decisions are supported.
