Mindset matters. It plays an important role, influencing our emotions and behaviours. What messages are you sending yourself about your life? Your capabilities? In what ways is current stress or past trauma impacting your mental and physical health? You may be living with anxiety or depression. You may be feeling limited by low self-esteem or find yourself repeating patterns that don’t serve you anymore. You may be grieving a loss of
relationship
or stability in your life. Alternatively, maybe you want to make changes, but feel fearful to take a leap, or you’d like to set new goals with the help of a therapist in your corner.

I am a certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant in Training and I am passionate about working with individuals,
couples
and families struggling with trauma, addictions, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, stress and burn out.
Currently No Waitlist! Many times we find ourselves "stuck in a rut" not knowing how to address our challenges. It looks like we are separated from our goals and we are not sure how to move forward. Seeing a psychotherapist is like the process of crossing the bridge to freedom from "here" to "where you want/need to be". In my practice, I use a holistic treatment approach consisting of: psychotherapy , lifestyle management strategies (sleep, nutrition, physical exercise), building support and at client's request spiritual/ faith-based practice(s).

Therapy can be hard work but it doesn’t have to be intimidating. My greatest goal as a therapist is to create a safe space to nurture a judgement free
relationship
. Whether you are new to counselling or ready for a refresh, let’s investigate what is and is not working for YOU. Working in the Neurodivergent community for over ten years has taught me the importance of collaboration, patience, and compassion towards other and ourselves. In smaller communities, it may feel daunting to discuss things openly, virtual and telephone services can provide an extra level of confidence as we can work together without sharing a postal code!

Have you experienced child loss or birth trauma and need to process what happened? Maybe you need guidance in a difficult
relationship
or are experiencing anxiety and rage. It may feel like you aren't in control of anything and life feels lonely. Your family, friends, and
partner
don't feel these experiences like you do. It's almost like everyone forgot what you went through. This feels extremely invalidating and no one seems to understand. I am passionate about helping women feel empowered and confident as an individual, a parent and a
partner

Couples Counselling
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
