I have been in private practice for 20 years, and in the mental health field for almost 40 years. My practice draws self-referring, high-functioning adults. couples and families with addiction, anxiety, depression and attachment disorders affecting their lives beyond their historical, current or perceived ability of self-control. In couples, I usually begin individually to create safety and self-awareness, then re-convene targeting clear self-advocacy, expression and truthful communication. EMDR in the couple context can clear a lot of old trauma and wounded pattern-associations that mire us in destructive relational dynamics.

The people I work with often tell me they experience intense, difficult emotions that are hard to control, often leading to harmful coping behaviours and relationship turmoil. Taking a behavioural approach, we work together to develop strategies and tools that support a more fulfilling life—what is referred to in DBT as a "life experienced as worth living.” Wellness tools and strategies we use are informed by DBT, ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and narrative therapy, but I believe it is the trusting and supportive relationship we build that forms the foundation upon which this challenging yet rewarding work is done.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor/Psychotherapist with 25 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, I use a client-centred, integrative approach to address the therapeutic goals of clients. No one should be defined by their diagnoses, and rather than placing emphasis on what is not working, I collaborate with clients to determine what actions can be taken to improve on their circumstances. All individuals exist along their own continuum of mental health, and with adequate supports and a focus on holistic well-being, every client can be nurtured towards growth and a healthier sense of self.

Most people start therapy when they feel stuck. They want someone to help them through a difficult time and know an un-biased opinion can be beneficial. They want a therapist who is honest, who understands, and can provide the tools so they can help themselves. My role is to guide you towards your true potential. I do this by considering personal history, goals and help you with awareness of your internal roadblocks. I take a relational and developmental approach and I am trained in EMDR, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems and Attachment Theory.

Therapy is meant to be a training ground, not a crutch. I follow the 3/7 rule – in just 3 sessions, we will end your pain. In 7 sessions, you'll gain the tools and insights needed to create lasting change. Together, we’ll break free from traumatic responses, toxic relationships, and unfulfilling patterns that keep you stuck. But we won’t stay there. We won't focused on where you are right now. We'll focus on where you want to go, and we're confident we can get there. With over 20 years of experience, we’ve worked with individuals, couples, & families to restore health, unity, and harmony – no matter the circumstances or past event.
