I understand that your relationships with your loved ones, whether it is a spouse, parent, or child, are important and so is the relationship you have with yourself.
Are you looking for relationship support, work through past trauma and hurts, and deal with the challenges of an unhealthy relationships? Do you feel like it is not entirely safe to be emotionally vulnerable because the other person will get defensive, shut down, or bring you down more? It is easy for us to be caught in a negative cycle and periods of distress and low mood with people we care. Sometimes you may need someone to talk outside of your circle, because either other people may not get it. If you are looking to work on your relationship, past or ongoing trauma, and uncertainty, I can help.

Hello and welcome! Being a parent can be frustrating, lonely, draining and confusing. At the same time, being a child/teen is also so confusing, stressful and overwhelming much of the time. While these relationships can be a source of pain, our connection to each other is also essential to our well-being. I work with children, teens and parents to help understand, work through and heal from pain and rebuild joy through connection. I will spend a lot of time really getting to know you and your family’s story. I aim to be compassionate and non-judgmental, understanding we all have a good reason for why we do the things we do.

I work with individuals and couples on many issues, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, communication issues, parenting struggles and grief.
I find the key to a successful therapy session is the connection between Therapist and Client. You will find that I am extremely authentic and warm; however, once a working relationship has been established, I believe it to be important to uncover and challenge unhealthy patterns of thinking and / or behaviour. It is then that we will work together to empower you with the skills to create more successful patterns for you in your life.
