Life can be challenging. When something throws us for a loop, our usual coping strategies may not be enough and we find ourselves feeling lost, afraid or unsure of what to do & how to manage. If you are experiencing a crisis or major life transition such as job loss, diagnosis of illness or chronic health condition, relationship crises (i.e., infidelity, abuse, separation), psychotherapy and clinical counselling can help you regain your bearings and cultivate novel coping strategies to get you back on your feet. As an EMDR trained therapist, I also offer this valuable therapy for healing from trauma and distressing experiences.

I use Gottman Method Couples Therapy to strengthen & improve relationships. I also support those who've made the difficult decision to separate to do so in a way that is respectful, kind and strives to impart minimal damage to each other and/or children. I have experience working with men to support them in fostering and maintaining healthy relationships.

I work with people who find themselves feeling lost, anxious or depressed. If you’re in a place where things are not how you imagined, I offer a non-judgemental, empathetic and goal-oriented approach to counselling.
