Change, whether chosen or imposed, can be one of the most challenging of life's gifts. Working as a Therapist in the addiction and mental health field for more than 25 years has allowed me the privilege of working with individuals who, like me, face some difficulties that are seemingly too complex to work out on their own. Finding the right person to explore such sensitive and personal issues is no easy feat which is why providing an authentic and judgement-free space is at the heart of my therapy practice. I am currently holding a waitlist for in-person sessions but am accepting new clients for online therapy!

My approach to therapy is warm, real, and grounded in genuine curiosity about your inner world. I’m not the overly clinical, nod-and-smile therapist. I believe healing happens through honest, human conversations. Sometimes that means we might drop a few F-bombs, and that’s okay. Life is messy, and pretending it’s not doesn’t help anyone grow. I create a space where you don’t have to filter yourself or perform. You get to show up exactly as you are, frustrated, exhausted, angry, unsure and we start there.

I also help couples find their way back to each other.
You are feeling stuck, disconnected from yourself, and just so sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. Maybe you’re grappling with childhood experiences, overthinking that doesn't let you rest, bodily tensions, lack of motivation, navigating family dynamics, or exploring your identity, including neurodivergence or self-esteem challenges. With me, you’re met with a warm and down-to-earth space where you can show up as you are. Together, we use integrative approaches that focus on your emotions, thoughts, and body, to help you build self-awareness, process the past, and move forward with clarity, confidence, and concrete tools.

Have you been feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or lost in your thoughts? Do you find yourself pushing down emotions or trying to keep yourself busy to avoid "this feeling"? Are you being mean towards yourself and the situation, shaming yourself for what has happened? Maybe your life has been filled with fears or worries and this has started to make you feel run down. You're starting to find that not only are your thoughts and emotions affecting you, but they're beginning to affect your relationships around you. It can be awkward to find a therapist and to make sure you find someone who understands you.

I work with individuals and couples, specializing in healthy relationships, ADHD management, women's health, career/ education support and trauma.
I personally know how it feels to be overwhelmed by the demands of school, work, everyday responsibilities and personal relationships.

To facilitate the changes you would like to see, I will create a safe place to process relationship issues, symptoms related to AD(H)D, trauma, depression, anxiety that have impacted your quality of life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you looking to find the balance between work, home, kids, yourself? Are you dealing with changes in your life that are causing you to be more anxious or stressed?
I recognize that life is complex, and so are the issues we live with. Whether it be a significant change, like losing a loved one, or tension within a meaningful relationship, it can feel overwhelming and hopeless trying to find our way through these challenges. I believe that we have the solutions to solve our problems within us and, at times, this requires us to reach out for support to uncover the answers to overcome these problems. From there, we seek to understand how we can learn from these hard times to strengthen ourselves and our relationships and find meaning from our experiences.

Marriage Counselling
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.
