Rooted in compassion, I offer a therapeutic relationship built on trust, acceptance and understanding.
I can only imagine how hard it must be to constantly feel like you’re not good enough, have little hope things will get better or apologize often to your loved ones for letting your anger take over again. Your values are different from your family's so you keep parts of your life hidden, that can’t be easy. What worries you the most about setting boundaries in your relationships? It’s okay that you still get sad when you think about their passing, you miss them and healing from that takes time. Tell me, what’s it like in this place in your relationship where you’re fighting constantly and each day you grow a little further apart.

Together, we can work on life's major issues: anxiety, stress, depression, emotional regulation, trauma, relationship difficulties, child/parent relationship issues, grief and loss, attachment issues, and life skills development.
Sometimes, we would all like to have a magic wand to manage life issues or make all our stresses disappear. We all know that such a wish is impossible to fulfill. However, we can search for the best support to help us to manage things at the best level for us, at any given time. There are complexities in relationships, there are work-related stresses, and the challenges of raising kids and managing many other issues in our lives. Sometimes, we feel the need to share our thoughts and feelings with someone, but it isn't easy to trust just anyone. I am trained to listen to your feelings and provide support.

In my 18+ years as a social worker, I've helped individuals, teenagers, couples, and families begin their healing journey.
I believe one of the bravest things you can do is ask for help. The process of understanding your struggles with anxiety, depression, grief, a challenging relationship, loss of a sense of self etc., that affects the aspects of your day-to-day life, ability to function, work, and career. Some people see therapy as a waste of time, and some people see it as an opportunity to heal. I want the best outcome for you, by guiding you to believe in yourself and learn how to remove the negative thoughts that have kept you from being your best. As you embark on this journey the experience will be, new, truthful, and uncomfortable at times.

Couples Counselling

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
