Over 20 years, I have specialized in supporting individuals and families through separation and divorce, children and teens coping with social, emotional or behavioral issues, and individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and stress management.
The cornerstone of my work is in building relationships where clients feel listened to, validated, and able to build trust in the therapeutic process. Together, we start with identifying areas of concern as well as personal strengths, and work towards finding strategies to move towards positive change. Through the process, there is a wonderful opportunity for learning more about yourself and those around you. Talking about issues that may be causing you distress is an incredibly important step in building life-long skills of self-awareness, self-care, and self-compassion.

All of us struggle at times with worry, or temper, or feeling insecure. But for some of us these problems take over- limiting our relationships, narrowing our sense of options in life. If you would like to claim back your life and your relationships from the influence of problems and problem stories, I would like to help.

I am a Master of Social Work, psychotherapist, and Dietitian. For over 20 years, I have specialized in helping individuals and families to successfully move beyond the effects of a range of mental health and dietary challenges including eating disorders. Our journey together is paced as we attend to mental health, emotional, &/or eating management skills-building needs. Along the way, it is often necessary to identify "taken-for-granted" thought patterns, emotions, and behaviours that no longer align with your evolving life goals. Together, we rebuild your skills, confidence, hope, life, and important relationships.

My practice offers psychotherapy services for individuals, couples and parents. People who contact me usually do so because they are experiencing difficulty managing as they face life's challenges or are experiencing uncomfortable symptoms of stress, depression or anxiety. By the time people contact me they have usually been in distress for some time. They want some relief, they want clarity and they don't want to feel judged.

I see couples in therapy who tell me they are quarrelling too much or who have drifted apart. Often, they need help with slowing down, expressing their softer feelings and understanding their partner's emotions. I also see couples whose lives have been turned upside down by an extra-marital affair and worry that there will never be trust again. I help them learn how an affair doesn't have to mean the end of a relationship. I also see individuals with anxiety, depression and trauma from childhood interfering with their present lives. Young adults and their parents see me for family therapy to improve their relationships.
