Are you struggling and not sure where to start? You may want help with addictions or mental health, your own sexual or violent behaviour or healing from past harms. Maybe you are another professional with a history that intersects with your work. You could be looking for help with your existing family or intimate relationships, job stress, or something else that affects your wellness. I offer a free 15 minute consultation to discuss your needs in advance of your first session. Services are offered by telephone or video.
We can find a safe space to talk about what is bothering you. I work primarily in trauma, sexual violence, and intimate partner violence. I also work with people with more general needs (addictions, mental health, anger, stress, sex, attachment, and relationships). Let's help you be free of past hurt and work through present challenges.
We make time for whatever you are dealing with in each session. Therapy is semi-structured to allow us flexibility. It is most important to me that you get to discuss what you need to at the time. In our first session, we cover some basic background and set some priorities for counselling. Reach out to talk to someone who is ready to listen and help.

I find that people rarely come to therapy with one issue to work on. I find it most helpful to allow people to talk through whatever is pressing in that moment. Trauma, sex, relationships, addictions, mental health, stress, and other issues all "talk to one another". Why not be flexible in therapy?

I really enjoy doing good old fashioned therapy with a focus on psychodynamics. This goes well with attachment and trauma work. I follow a tri-phasic model of trauma therapy when appropriate. I often focus on mental health and other types of assessment; it is important to see clearly what we need to work on. You will likely find me fairly flexible and responsive to your needs.
