I most often work with clients who experience chronic anxiety, difficulty coping with emotions, and who struggle to navigate conflict in relationships. These patterns are often a result of relational trauma, experienced in childhood or youth. I am passionate about supporting my clients to deepen their sense of self, through strengthening self-identity, trust and compassion, so they can navigate life with confidence and with meaningful connections. I work well with clients who are hesitant about therapy or who have not had success in the past.

As individuals, couples, or families, we often feel exhausted, disconnected, or stuck when trying to cope with pain, navigate neurodiversity, or move through big life transitions.

Counselling is as much about learning who we are as individuals as it is learning who we are as partners in relationship.
Change only occurs once the need to change exceeds the pain of staying the same.
Using everything from Family Systems to attachment dynamics to Parts/IFS approaches, I work with adult individuals to develop awareness and understanding of systemic influences affecting conscious and subconscious behaviours and decision-making. Then we focus on developing the strengths and resources available to, and within, the client, using Buddhist tenets of mindfulness and compassion, to increase and improve the alignment of outward presentation with internal values.

Do you long for friendship and belonging, but fear closeness? Do you get attached quickly but things don’t turn out the way you had hoped? Do you find yourself repeating patterns that you want to change, but are unsure of how, or where, to begin? You describe yourself as a giver but feel upset and disappointed when others don’t give back. You try to be the best version of yourself, but you’re exhausted. Experiences like these can leave us feeling unsafe. We feel lost and alone, desperately wanting change but not sure what steps to take.

Parenting is hard and all of us make mistakes but knowing how to read our child's emotional cues and how to repair the inevitable ruptures is a game-changer for developing the relationship we want with our kids. If you are just starting out on your parenting journey and simply want to develop a secure attachment/bond with your baby or have been struggling with responding to your child's emotions for years, parent counselling might be the next best step in your relationship with your little(s). Kids' behaviours are always communicating something, and having someone to discuss these behaviours with can be so helpful.

For couples, I offer open couples therapy as well as Rooted Together: a guided relationship growth journey for premarital support or to facilitate reconnection.
Have you ever found yourself wondering, “How did I get here?” Maybe life took a turn you didn’t expect, and now you’re trying to make sense of it all. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out alone either. Before I stepped into being a therapist, my life took many unexpected turns, from professional athlete, to pastor, to public speaker. My world used to revolve around performance, pressure, and pushing through. I understand what it’s like to live under high expectations, your own or other people’s. I know how it feels to be stuck in a version of yourself that no longer fits.

I offer individual and couples counselling at this time.
