I love providing individual and couple/relationship therapy.
I get it- you decided to get therapy, but there's a multitude of therapists to choose from! They mention they do CBT, DBT or whatever ABCs. What does this all even mean?! It can be daunting and confusing- so let's get to the point: I want to help you be the best version of you. I am warm, empathetic, and compassionate, and I can't wait for you to see that in our 15 minute free consultation. Together we can figure out what your struggles are, and how I can assist you in reaching your goals.

I strive to bring a holistic, sensitive, relationship-based and collaborative approach to therapy.
I want to help you tap into your innate capacity to heal - help you become open to experience, learn to trust yourself, develop an internal evaluation of yourself and have a willingness to continue growing. In private practice, I provide individual, family, marital/relationship, and group counselling. I treat people across the lifespan including children, adolescents (e.g. navigating identity), adults (e.g. working through relationships, parenting, and career issues), and the elderly (grief and life transitions).

“Smooth seas don’t make good sailors”--It's a bitter truth-- No One escapes the challenges of Life. "What’s the purpose of therapy?” I believe we are all leaders of our own lives. Whether we choose to believe so or not, we are still leading our lives everyday with the choices and decisions we make. We can either decide to make unconscious decisions, or we can finally learn about ourselves, and take charge by making more conscious decisions that will improve the quality of our lives. Therapy is learning about and then empowering that silent leader within you. "Life is a dance between what we can control and realizing what we cannot"

Life can often resemble a complex puzzle, with both challenging and stable moments. At times, it may feel like we're tackling this puzzle all alone. That's where the power of therapy comes in – think of it as having a helpful teammate on your journey to feeling better. Even if it doesn't seem obvious, the key to finding balance and contentment is already within you. My role is to guide you in unlocking that inner potential by shedding light on your thoughts and emotions. This is the first step toward creating a more harmonious and fulfilling life.

Are you a highly sensitive person struggling with mood regulation and/or an anxious attachment style? You may struggle with anxiety, high stress levels, and maintaining stable relationships. Criticism or conflict might hit you harder than it does others. Endless arguments over the same issue and ineffective communication hurts both you and your partner. Past grievances often resurface, intensifying the conflict. You're sensitive to any signs of perceived distance or disinterest from your partner, which can trigger feelings of anxiety and insecurity. You long for emotional stability, and a sense of connection yet fear intimacy.

I believe that we continuously construct our identities through our relationships. and that our primary process of growth, healing, and moving toward meaning can be profoundly nurtured in relational contexts as well. This is especially possible in a safe and nurturing environment that enables us to reveal and be embraced for the authentic layers, diverse parts, and intersectional identities that we embody. Therefore, I aim to support you in delving into the facets of your life you wish to understand, change, or see evolve, and cultivate contexts that make it possible.

Couples Counselling

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
