Many of the people I work with are used to holding it all together for everyone else - navigating anxiety, work, parenting, or an array of life transitions - and are looking for a space where they can finally slow down, feel understood, and reconnect with themselves. I have specialized training in Perinatal Mental Health and bring a deep commitment to supporting parents as they navigate the profound transition into parenthood. I also support clients through many other kinds of life transitions (work, university, life, goal-setting, relationships, etc).

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and respected. I strive to create a calm, non-judgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are — whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or simply unsure of what you need. I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology and am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). My approach is collaborative and compassionate, drawing from evidence-based practices while always tailoring therapy to you as a whole person — your experiences, values, and goals. I don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” model of counselling.

15 years of counselling! Most people who reach out for therapy are not lacking intelligence, insight, or motivation. In fact, many have spent years reading books, listening to podcasts, talking with friends, or trying to figure things out on their own. Yet they still find themselves repeating the same patterns, having the same arguments, feeling stuck in the same fears, or struggling with the same emotional reactions.
Therapy can help bridge the gap between knowing and changing.

Codependency Counsellors
What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
