When I work with couples, I primarily draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy and have a special lens for working with couples where there are histories of trauma impacting the relationship.
Welcome! I see a broad range of individuals and couples from teens, young adults to highly successful professionals —including physicians, residents, and medical students—through word-of-mouth referrals. My commitment to culturally sensitive, trauma-informed care has been at the foundation of my work since 2005. Some of my clients are experiencing common issues such as challenges coping with stress and mood while others are facing more complex struggles such as healing from past trauma and/or childhood adversity. I also work with couples struggling in their relationships.

I use an emotionally focused style to address this whether it's an Anger Management, Marriage and Relationship or Stress and Anxiety client.
The Spaces Between Counselling .....The Power of Perception The greatest growth my clients experience from our work together is a new way of seeing and experiencing their lives. I'll show you how to move from hopelessness, loneliness, frustration, and fear to clarity and peace. We'll use your struggle as your power spot to create change. Although this can be difficult, that discomfort acts as a motivation to change. That is its job. You are at a place where all the possibilities and richness of life are yours to be found. I can help you take your next steps and I'd be honoured to walk with you.

EFT explores experiences with emotions and the ways in which we have adopted behaviours to meet our emotional and relational needs.
Do you struggle with your relationship with food and your body? Have you ever wished you could find peace from food stress, anxiety, and guilt? Have you ever wondered whether it was possible to feel confident in a body while carrying the weight of the world's judgements and pressures? Body and food peace is a radical pursuit in the face of diet culture and weight stigma, and it is a journey I would be honored to navigate together with you. I work with my clients to explore body image shame, diet culture, intuitive eating, emotion regulation, and authentic living.
