I also specialize in behavioural health, helping clients achieve health goals related to exercise, weight loss and managing illness.
Have you and your partner lost your connection? Do you get stuck in repetitive cycles of blame and defensiveness? Do you wonder whether you truly matter to your partner? With a PhD in relationship therapy and over 15 years' experience with couples and families, I look to the science of relationship to help. I specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an approach that seeks to strengthen the emotional bonds between partners by identifying, then changing, the destructive patterns of interaction that distance and divide. EFT is an evidence-based treatment with the highest success rate of any couple therapy approach.

I appreciate that seeking help can be intimidating. Many people feel that they suffer alone. People do not realize how common it is to suffer from mental health-related issues. In North America, one in five adults suffer from distress, such as depression, anxiety, and interpersonal problems. Psychotherapy is extremely effective at treating a wide variety of psychological issues. I provide evidence-based, individualized, and collaborative treatment to ensure the quality of care. My approach to psychotherapy incorporates cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and emotion-focused therapy (EFT).

As a therapist, I help clients coping with anxiety, depression, chronic stress & relationship/co-dependency issues. If your mind is all over the place, full of negative thoughts, your emotions are intense & stick around too long, you are coping ineffectively, you are unable to assert yourself & have lost a sense of your self, I can help. As a coach, I work with women bosses who remain in hopeless relationships and repeatedly attract the wrong partner and with women bosses who have lost their way, lost control & lost touch with their true selves & inner power which is preventing them from moving forward on their life goals.
