Avail. Evenings Mon & Tues. Sometimes in life, we just need additional support. I offer sessions to adolescents, adults & couples going through a variety of issues. We will often identify difficulties in interpersonal relationships (romantic, familial, work or otherwise) that may be causing distress. Challenging relationships can take a toll on our mental health and well-being. Some topics addressed include boundaries, attachment, and communication. I have an easygoing and supportive approach and believe you know yourself best. I encourage open communication throughout treatment on what is working & what's not working for you!
I use an eclectic therapeutic approach, integrating multiple therapeutic theories to tailor treatment to the specific needs of each individual client or couple. I pull from a combination of CBT, psychodynamic, interpersonal & narrative therapy. However, I strongly believe the most important aspect of therapy is having a strong rapport and feeling comfortable
Being unsure and nervous about therapy is understandable. Showing up is the most important part. I foster a comfortable environment that holds space for all emotions. Reach out to get started today.

I work with clients who may be going through a challenging period or decided they're ready for help regarding a long term issue. We often will make connections from past experiences to present day situations, while providing tools to navigate through them. I find that having a better understanding of who we are allows us to better hold empathy for ourselves. An example: Attachment Theory

I use an eclectic approach to therapy that is adjusted to client wants and needs. I maintain a client- centred approach while pulling from CBT, psychodynamic and interpersonal psychotherapies. The mind-body connection is also something that will be explored often throughout the therapeutic process.
