I work with adults and couples impacted by trauma, addiction, and relationship distress. Many clients feel stuck in patterns that are hard to break. This may show up for you as substance use, excessive porn, emotion dysregulation, conflict, or general disconnection with your partner. Often these struggles are connected, not separate issues. My role is to not only help you understand what is driving these compulsions or attachment wounds, but to offer practical coping strategies to help you initiate & sustain change. We will examine your particular cycles and develop tools to improve your mental health, behaviors, and relationships.

Life can be challenging. Sometimes we need help to improve the quality of daily experiences & relationships. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction (sex, gambling & substances), anger, grief, complicated relationships, personality disorders and self-esteem all influence our lives. As a clinical supervisor for two addiction facilities, I have experience with complex mental health issues. I assist clients in identifying codependency traits, narcissists in their relationships and how emotional dis-regulation contributes to complications. Having overcome my own challenges aids in an authentic connection with my clients. Compassion and humour are tools I use while I assist clients in reclaiming identity

I’m a seasoned therapist offering short-term, focused therapy for adults seeking thoughtful, practical support around a specific concern. I work with care and intention, typically over 6–8 sessions, supporting people who feel ready for something to shift and want help moving forward. We all go through periods of transition or uncertainty. I often work with people who have put a lot of thought into their lives, yet find themselves at a point where something needs attention—whether around retirement, health changes, relationships, boundaries, major decisions, or the more existential questions of identity, purpose, and meaning.
