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 specialize in marital/relationship counselling, have offered Marriage Breakthrough Workshops and Couple Retreats and have helped thousands of couples improve their relationship.

I have over twenty years experience working with children/youth and their families with complex needs including trauma, divorce, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief and behavioural/social concerns. I use a warm, caring, non-judgemental approach in my work. I draw upon a variety of proven therapeutic strategies including Cognitive Behavioural, Solution-Focussed, Family Systems therapy, Motivational Interviewing and other evidence based methodologies to assist clients in making positive changes in their lives.

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.
