You’ve read the books, done the worksheets, tried meditation, gone to therapy…and you still feel stuck. You’re starting to realize that understanding your patterns is not enough to change them. What you need now is someone who challenges you to stop thinking your problems to death, and to actually identify your core needs and take action to get them met. I believe my role as a therapist is to give you a place where you can practice emotional and relationship skills in real time, including setting boundaries, dealing with conflict, and addressing unhelpful relationship patterns in ways that maintain connection and emotional safety.
My approach is direct, collaborative and intuitive. I offer authenticity, care, humour, and a nervous system that is highly attuned to internal defenses and barriers to connection. I go beyond just giving you information and teaching you skills - I will call you on your shit and help you work through your feelings around it.
E-mail me to set up a free 15 minute consultation if you’d like to chat more and see if we’re a good fit. Please note that my email server has been having an issue that causes my emails to be sent to spam. Please check your spam if you are expecting a response from me! I generally respond in 1-2 business days.

Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

  • Attachment-based
  • Existential
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)
  • Relational
"
Attachment-based means that I help you understand your own reactions from an animal biology standpoint. Existential means we won't shy away from the big questions in life. IFS means we will explore different parts of you and how they conflict with each other. Relational means that we won't just talk about issues, we will work through them in real time as they come up in session.
