Tired of communication roadblocks, your partner not listening to you.... time spent arguing rather than getting along? Family issues? Personal problems that are weighing you down? I strive at helping people get the most out of their relationships and help them tackle difficult issues and decisions. Experienced therapist with over 30 years of counselling experience. I specialize in marital/relationship counselling, have offered Marriage Breakthrough Workshops and Couple Retreats and have helped thousands of couples improve their relationship.

"I want to be happy". What does that mean really? And what does that look like? Through therapy, I can help you get clarity on these questions and develop a plan that can help you work towards the outcome you're looking for. My work involves using holistic mind-body approaches to help you process and heal from the various difficulties you are experiencing. We look at the mind-body connection and help you release any accumulated tension or blockages that might be affecting your physical and emotional well-being.

This type of therapy is for you if you are currently feeling out of balance. Anxiety keeps you up at night when you run in your mind all the potential “what ifs” and none of them make you confident. If you have lost trust in your own ability to calm yourself down and give yourself hope to overcome the struggles of your mind. Maybe you are feeling lost in general. The things that used to give you joy no longer spark your heart and they might even feel like chores. Your relationships feel distant and some might even be on the verge of breaking. Looking for help can be terrifying but also it can be exactly what you need.
