You used to feel like yourself. Now most days run on autopilot- overwhelmed, stretched thin, snapping at the people you love and then feeling guilty about it. You hold everything together for everyone else and have nothing left over for you. You've pushed through, read the books, told yourself to just manage better- and the exhaustion and resentment are still sitting there underneath. That's not a willpower problem- it's a nervous system stuck in survival mode and parts of you carrying more than they should.

At times, life can feel confusing or overwhelming—especially when we notice ourselves repeating patterns in relationships, feeling stuck in painful emotions, or questioning why certain struggles keep resurfacing. Whether you are seeking support as an individual or as a couple, therapy can offer a space to slow down and explore these experiences with curiosity and compassion. Together, we can begin to understand what may be shaping these patterns and work toward creating more meaningful and fulfilling ways of living and relating.

In my own life and marriage, I’ve experienced how our families and broader social contexts shape how we show up and connect.

Whether struggling with a diagnosis, neurodivergence, relationships, workplace or family conflict, motivation, anxiety, depression, or trauma, I will gently inquire into what is at the core of your experience through various methods.
You identify as neurodivergent and are looking to feel supported and understood. You want to build new strategies for coping with everyday life. You might have a an autistic or neurodivergent child whom you want to feel more themselves, supported, and self-expressed. You might be wondering "where can I feel like myself?", or "what do I really want out of life?". I help adults, children, and youth find authentic expression, get more of what they want out of life, understand their challenges and societal context, and find creative responses to their life circumstances to feel more empowered, self-defined, and able to self-advocate.

Life can feel really heavy when you’ve been carrying so much on your own for so long. You might be the person everyone relies on, always pushing through while internally feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or disconnected from yourself.

Together, we can explore the patterns and experiences that may be keeping you stuck while helping you reconnect with yourself beyond stress, expectations, and constantly putting others first. If you feel ready, I’d be happy to connect with you.

What issues does family therapy help with?
Family therapy can help families navigate the complex dynamics of family life, including communication challenges and recurring conflict between family members. A therapist can help family members identify dysfunctional patterns in communication and develop healthier ways of relating. Family therapy may also be helpful during major life transitions or stressful events that affect the family system, such as grief, divorce, trauma, relocation, or a serious illness. In some cases, family therapy can support families coping with specific mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, alcohol or substance use disorders, and eating disorders. In these situations, therapy can provide education and support to family members, as well as to the individual with the mental health diagnosis.
How do I know if my family needs counselling?
Family therapy may be helpful if a family consistently struggles with conflict or communication in a way that affects daily life or relationships. It can also be beneficial when someone in the family is experiencing significant emotional or behavioural changes, such as a family member becoming aggressive, withdrawing, or struggling to cope after a traumatic event. Additionally, some concerns, such as addiction or eating disorders, may be especially important to address in the context of the family unit.
Who attends family counselling sessions?
Family counselling sessions are often attended by members of the immediate family, such as parents, caregivers, children, or siblings. However, other family members may attend when appropriate, including grandparents, stepparents, stepsiblings, or co-parents. Who attends may depend on the family’s needs, the therapist’s recommendations, and the goals of treatment.
Can family therapy be done online?
Family therapy can often be done online. Virtual sessions may be especially convenient when family members live in different locations, have busy schedules, or live in a province, territory, or rural area where family therapists are less accessible. However, online therapy may not be the best fit for every family. In-person care may be more appropriate when there are safety concerns, severe conflict, limited privacy at home, or when young children have difficulty engaging through a screen.
What therapeutic approaches are used in family counselling?
Family therapy can take different forms, including systemic family therapy (exploring how individual actions affect the family), structural family therapy (uncovering the structure and relationship dynamics of the family unit), and attachment-based family therapy (focusing on how bonds between family members shape relationships). Family therapy may also include psychoeducation, which helps family members learn more about a mental health condition and how to respond to it more effectively.
How much does family therapy cost and is it covered by insurance?
Family therapy sessions, which typically last about an hour, often range from $100 to $200 or more, depending on factors such as location, therapist experience, session length, and practice setting. In general, family therapy may cost more than individual therapy because it involves multiple participants and more complex treatment planning. Coverage for family therapy varies by province or territory and by private insurance plan, if applicable. Family therapy provided by a therapist in private practice is often paid out of pocket, although some plans may reimburse services from eligible providers such as psychologists, registered social workers, psychotherapists, or counsellors, particularly when therapy is related to a diagnosed mental health condition affecting someone in the family. Public coverage is generally not an option for family therapy, unless provided through a community clinic or publicly funded agency.
