I work with both couples and individuals from all different walks of life.
Taking the first step in your self-healing journey can be so difficult, but I am so glad that you are here! Whether you have tried therapy in the past, or this is your first time, I welcome you. Collaboratively, through a person-centered and strength-based approach, I seek to support and navigate life’s greatest stressors and hurdles with you in a way that meets you where you are at. Changes in life can cause us to feel distant and disconnected from ourselves, or from our relationships. This can lead to low sex-drive or libido, and poor communication, causing recurring and frequent disagreements. I want to support you in

Many of my clients come to me at a crossroads—caught between cultures, identities, and expectations. Some are students adjusting to life away from family, others are professionals balancing careers with family obligations, and many are parents navigating separation, caregiving, or financial stress. Often, there are silences around topics like sexuality, divorce, or conflict at home. What unites these stories is a sense of being stretched too thin, unseen, or pressured to live up to expectations that don’t reflect who they truly are. I work with empathy and cultural humility, holding space for the full nuance of your story.

In terms of couple treatment, presenting concerns include conflict resolution, dealing with differences, emotional connection and trust injuries.
My couple therapy approaches include EFT, Gottman interventions and Integrative Behaviour Couple Therapy (IBCT). I trained with Dr. Greenberg and participated as a therapist in his and Dr. Malcolm's research project about resolution of couples' emotional injuries.

I use compassion, humour, science and empathy to help you thrive as individuals, couples and families.
Parenting is hard, and no matter how much we ask, it doesn’t come with a manual. Childhood anxiety, depression, ADHD, teenage angst and everyday challenges are on the rise and learning where to go for help can be overwhelming. Despite our efforts, the resulting feelings of frustration and despair are very real. I have been there myself and understand that, like with learning any new skill, parenting takes work. Learning tools and applying them consistently while faced with numerous challenges requires support, compassion and gentle guidance. What's important to know is that you are not alone and that there is support available.

My goal is to help you bring curiosity and compassion to your experiences, including struggles with anxiety, depression, negative thinking patterns, dysfunctional behaviours, and relationship challenges. Using a trauma-informed approach, we will work together to better understand how your struggles stem from the past, while making room for new coping strategies. Trauma leads us to feeling on edge, panicky, numb, self-critical, and defensive in relationships. I am here to help you break free of these cycles and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others, as well as build capacities for inner strength and resilience.

Marriage Counselling Counsellors
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.
