APPROACH TO HELPING: Life on this planet can be hard. There are ups and downs; pluses and minuses; stops and starts; joys and sorrows. Flux and flow. We all live within that and, sometimes, we need help managing. The right therapy can help rebuild a foundation solid enough to begin creating a life that feels right, for you, according to your values. A place to safely process, redefine and reframe. A place to learn the tools to rebuild, manage and accept everything that comes your way, using the theories, practices and protocols of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment, Interpersonal and Emotion-Focussed models.

Do you feel misunderstood or like you want to escape from painful memories, thoughts, and/or emotions? Do you feel stuck as though you are unable to move forward in life? Do you struggle with people-pleasing, relationship conflict, chronic illness, or feel emotionally disconnected? If any of this applies to you, please know that you are not alone. It is normal to feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and disappointed when life appears to be passing us by and we feel stuck or held back by our past experiences. Having a therapist who provides a trauma-informed and client centred approach is essential in these cases.

Maybe you’re seeking a change, but want support figuring out what that is. I’m here to offer a warm place to explore and get that clarity. I see therapy quite simply, as a conversation – likely one you don’t get anywhere else. Therapy allows you to more freely tell your story, and determine the parts that may or may not be working for you right now. Even when you feel stuck, you hold wisdom about your life. I see my role as accompanying you in understanding what you want and identifying opportunities for change. Holding greater awareness about what’s going on can be empowering in shifting your thoughts, actions, and relationships.

You’re moving through a life transition that’s shaken how you see yourself. A relationship shift, coming-out process, grief, career change, or identity questioning has left you feeling anxious or emotionally fatigued. You may feel out of sync with values and expectations, disconnected from your body, or unsure how to integrate who you’re becoming with who you’ve been. You’re seeking grounded support that honours complexity, fluid identity, and the emotional and existential weight of change.

I am trained in Emotionally Focused Couples, Family, and Individual therapy (EFT), and bring a client-centred approach to help you work through what you are dealing with.
It can be hard to know where to start when looking for a therapist. I offer an honest, supportive, and non-judgmental space to explore all that has happened in the past to consider where you want to go moving forward. Therapy is meant to offer a confidential outlet to explore all that you are, and all that you have been through. This exploration is done together, with unbiased support to move towards areas of growth. My clinical training in attachment-based approaches informs our sessions to help uncover patterns in your story, to help identify your strengths and cultivate the life you want.

I also work with couples who feel emotionally disconnected and want to rebuild understanding and closeness.
Are you ready to do the deeper work? If you often feel anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, or sense that past experiences still influence you today, you’re not alone. I work with individuals who want to understand the why behind patterns such as perfectionism, people-pleasing, or fear of rejection. These patterns can influence how we interact with daily life/relationships. I believe healing happens through curiosity, compassion, and patience, rather than pressure to push past or ignore what you’re feeling. Together, we gently explore what lies beneath the surface, supporting greater clarity, emotional safety, and trust in yourself.

Marriage Counselling Counsellors
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.

How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.

Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.

Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
