With over 20-years of therapy experience as a clinical social worker I work with individuals, adults and adolescents, families and couples.
Why suffer when something can be done about it? There is no such thing as "my problems aren't bad enough?". A difficulty is a difficulty, degree of difficulties does not matter -you do not have to suffer. If you feel sad, lost or anxious? Are struggling in your relationships with your spouse, children, friends or family? Are tired of being "stuck" or circling the same challenges over and over again? If you feel that there must be more to life? You deserve a different way of living, professional support can help to guide you through and move you forward.

Are you sleeping on the couch still? Have you guys been fighting all weekend again? Living like roommates? Lack of connection gets old and scary, doesn't it? Or maybe you just experienced the unimaginable - your partner has cheated on you! You don't know what to do, where to go or even what you want. Perhaps there's kids that you have to think of or maybe finances that are so connected together that even the thoughts of breaking up is too much.

You’re not where you want to be and want to make a change. Experiencing these emotions doesn’t mean that they have to take over your life — I am here to support you in better managing them when they show up.

Taking the first step towards counselling takes a lot of courage; your trusted partner awaits and is ready to help through a wide array of psychotherapy serving individuals, couples, and families, as well as the Prepare-Enrich program for new couples.
I believe that all people harbour significant potential for intimacy and compassion towards themselves and others. Grief, betrayal, trauma, stress, and abuse are becoming part of everyday reality. Without support, they may lead to helplessness, depression, anxiety, addictions, or unhelpful coping strategies that inhibit their true potential. Over the past two decades of my professional career and my training in psychotherapy, I learned that the best path forward comes from within. Healing becomes within reach with the help of a trained professional and confidant who can listen, relate, and gently guide you as you navigate forward.

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.
