Can you imagine where you would be if you could go back in time and have “do-over”? Where would you live, what kind of friends would you have, what career would you pursue, and what partner would you choose? Understanding how you got to where you are today helps set a foundation for the future.
Why do we make the choices that we do? Life provides unique experiences that affect people in different ways. These experiences contribute positively or negatively to our well-being and guide our life choices and impulses. It is important to honour the good things we have encountered but it is vital to address the challenges that we have faced, especially when they keep us stuck.

Other areas of focus include: couples counselling, kink, infidelity, anxiety, depression, identity, stress management, life transitions, and existential considerations.
As individuals, we each have a unique set of values that guide us. We may or may not be aware of what these values are, and they may shift over time and with experience. I believe that by understanding what is most important to us we have an opportunity to use this information to manage our thoughts, beliefs, and behaviour in a way that allows for peace of mind and authenticity, which in turn can lead to a meaningful life. Using our values to direct our choices and ground us in who we are can allow us to overcome challenges and put us on the path to becoming our best selves.

I specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, couples work, life transition, belief system struggles, religious trauma, existential and self discovery, and sexuality and gender issues.
I aim to meet my clients apart from the pretension and stigmas of the psychology world, as well as the norms of culture/society in general. Creating a space apart from all the things we think we need to be and should be allows for an authenticity to engage the obstacles in life in a new way. Therapy should not be “one size fits all” and so with the expertise that you have of your life, combined with my skills and training, we can work together to get past both the internal and external things keeping you from being more of the human you were meant to be; creating a new mental space where you can continue to grow and thrive.

I’m a client lead experiential counsellor offering a holistic approach to trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, couples issues, parenting struggles and postpartum depression. What is client-led experiential counselling you ask? Great question. Client-lead experiential essentially means that I don’t have a set agenda or formula. Instead I draw on many perspectives and use what works best for you and sometimes that means we'll try a more experiential approach, allowing the body to inform us about what is most needed in our session together.

We are each on a journey in search of safety, meaning, and fulfillment. Along the way we are constantly exposed to images and ideals of how we are supposed to look, how we are supposed to feel, and how we are supposed to behave. We start to doubt our uniqueness or our worth. I aim to create safe spaces to talk about things that might seem too personal, taboo, shameful, trivial, or embarrassing to share with others in your life. Together we can examine limiting beliefs about yourself, old stories of who you are and how you "should" be in the world, so you can start to live by choice, not by chance.

How often in our daily lives do we pause to listen and pay attention to our deepest needs and desires? Do we acknowledge what might be missing (or already there) and identify and mobilize those resources that could help us live a wholesome, satisfying life? As a psychologist, I create a judgement-free space where people are supported in answering those questions. I view counselling as a space where we can unpack the messiness of life and be encouraged to make changes in the pursuit of joy, health, and balance.

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.
