I work with both couples and individuals around relationship issues.
Relationships can be the hardest - as well as the most rewarding - aspects of our lives. When things feel solid with the people we are closest to, we have renewed strength to tackle all the other challenges. On the other hand, when we are in conflict with those we love the most, everything else in our lives becomes harder. I work with clients to strengthen their most important relationships, work through the blocks and challenges, and help them to create and maintain secure bonds.

It can be very difficult to find a therapist who you might feel can be helpful to you. I like to think of therapy as first and most importantly a relationship. Some might have a sense that things are not as they might hope. We live in a time of loneliness, confusion, separation, conflict and it seems our cultural framework that is meant to hold all of this together is failing. At the heart of what is missing for so many is a place of love and belonging. Or perhaps you’ve lost sight of a sense of meaning in your life? Maybe you’ve received recently some deeply troubling news about your own health or the recent loss of a loved one?

However, helping individuals struggling with relationship challenges has become my favourite area of private practice.
I feel people need to communicate with each other more often. We need to talk in a non-judgmental environment and realize that it's ok to ask for help. I will try to help anyone who wants to make positive changes in their life. I feel counselling is not only for those living with a mental health disorder, it is also for those who wish to maintain optimal overall wellness.

Whether you feel like you have fallen out of love, are considering divorce, or are getting married and want to know each other more deeply, relationship counselling is a worthwhile investment.
Do you ever feel like your partner doesn't understand you? Have you experienced an affair or some other kind of infidelity? Does your communication feel like it can use some help? I believe that connecting to our partners begins with understanding our selves deeply and learning to communicate with one another in the most effective way possible. Relationships can give us a lot of comfort, but to be their best, they require hard work - and some guidance every now and then. My expertise is in helping those in relationships gain the kind of clarity that can take their relationships to the next level.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
