Accepting NEW Clients - Are you someone hoping to find ways to feel less anxious, less stressed, or less depressed, and have the tools to show up differently? Do you want to feel more like yourself again, or figure out what helps to get "unstuck?" Do you often feel down on yourself, like you're not enough, but you don't know how to change this? Maybe there is a relationship in your life that you, or you and your partner, are hoping to better understand and improve. Let's look at what's going on for you now, how the past might impact this, and equip you with ways to move forward differently. I work with individuals and couples.

Trauma shows up in many different ways. Perhaps you’re experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, unexplained pain or illness, digestive issues, disturbing reminders of past events, past or current abuse or emotional numbness. Maybe you just haven't been able to shake the emotional effects of the pandemic on you and your family. With over 30 years of clinical experience providing psychotherapy services, I work with adults whose lives have been affected by such overwhelming feelings and situations, grief and loss, family and relationship concerns, emotional abuse, attachment wounds, intergenerational issues and workplace stressors.

Are you facing a life transition and need help managing stress, uncertainty, and conflicts? Life's journey is full of transitions, some smooth and others challenging. Change, even when it's planned and exciting, adds new stress which can bring up old wounds and unhealthy relationship patterns. As a psychotherapist with lots of life experience, I provide support through career changes, relocation, divorce, parenting milestones, illness, or personal growth challenges. I work with individuals and couples navigating frequent arguments or different communication styles. It's possible to emerge from this with confidence and resilience.

I am trained in CBT, DBT, EFT, and trauma focused approaches among others & can help you identify thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that are getting in the way of your goals, unpack painful experiences, and help you build a more self-aware, mindful, and kind relationship with yourself.
At times, life can feel so overwhelming that we just wish for a way out of the chaos into stillness and peace. This chaos might manifest in stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, or it may show up as traumatic and painful experiences preventing you from achieving your desires and goals. It is absolutely possible to find your way to happiness and inner peace and it’s helpful to have a trained professional with lived experience guide and support you through that journey.

Give me the honour to share this journey where the goal is to have a full feeling ever lasting relationship.
Come! Let´s have a chat! Have you ever thought that there is no longer an emotional bond with your partner. No exchange of comfort, care and no more satisfaction?

You have an internal urge to continue, but on the other hand you are so deep in the problems that possible solutions are not in reach. You can overcome the challenge of communication & teamwork.

Transforming your relationship is possible and I want to work alongside you to move your relationship from a place of distress to a place of security and connection.
Navigating life and relationships can be challenging, exhausting, confusing, and downright overwhelming. In a world where one is constantly connected through social media, increasingly, we can feel isolated and alone as we strive to meet relationship and work demands, while living up to our own personal and relational expectations. In seasons of uncertainty, it is normal to feel a sense of spinning out of control, and struggling with where do I go from here? The thought of therapy can be scary, which is why I am committed to creating an environment of trust and understanding.

EFT has helped thousands of couples heal their relationship and the same is possible for you.
You’re probably feeling so alone and hopeless right now. The relationship you once looked to for strength and joy is beginning to feel like a source of pain and disconnection. You feel like you have tried everything that you know to make your relationship better. You’ve tried talking about your issues but somehow always end up spiraling into a fight- leaving you feeling frustrated, disconnected and more hurt each time. You worry about where your relationship is headed if something doesn’t change. I want you to know you are in the right place. You can transform your disconnection and negative communication patterns into connection.

Relationship Issues Counsellors
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
