Clients often come to me feeling stuck. This can show up in their relationships, work, daily life, or even in their own thoughts. My goal is to help you get “un-stuck”. I work with individuals to sort through what’s holding them back in life and build new habits. I work with couples who have found themselves feeling more like roommates than romantic partners and we work to rebuild their sense of intimacy and connection. I work with parents and children to navigate big emotions and challenging behaviors, building skills that foster stronger, more connected relationships at home. Finally, I support women through the perinatal period.

You’re the one people rely on, and you’ve gotten really good at pushing through even when you’re overwhelmed. But you’re exhausted, and feeling disconnected from your relationships, your passions, and yourself. Whether you’re carrying trauma, burnout, or stress that’s affecting your outlook on life, you don’t have to hold it alone. Together, we’ll slow things down so you can feel more grounded, connected, and like yourself again. I use evidence-based therapies like EMDR, IFS, DBT & CBT to support individuals and couples through high-stress careers (eg: nurses, first responders, military personnel), trauma, and big life transitions.

I work with individuals and couples. I also offer supervision to counsellors registering with the NSCCT. If you decide to connect with me, I will work to build a strong counselling relationship and support you in making changes in your life. My approach starts from the perspective that people are made up of three parts: body, mind and emotional self. These parts interact with one another and together create our lived experience.

You go to work and do things most people cannot imagine. Either way, you come home carrying more than you show.
Whether you are a paramedic, a police officer, or a professional running on empty the pattern is the same: functioning on the outside, struggling underneath.
For first responders and military members, this work is also personal. I served eight years as a US military reservist. I understand the culture you operate in and why asking for help inside that culture is its own kind of courage.
