I am a Psychotherapist and Social Worker (MSW, RSW) with a passion for supporting people in creating healthy, fulfilling relationships. We are wired for love as human beings. And now a wealth of scientific research on attachment relationships backs this up. This means our closest relationships impact us in significant ways. On one hand, loving relationships are essential for supporting our growth and wellbeing. On the other hand, difficulties in our closest relationships fuel many of our most painful emotional struggles. So relationships hugely impact our health and wellbeing, for better or for worse.

Are you feeling disconnected, lonely or unmotivated? Are your relationships strained and you are feeling stuck in a rut? Do you criticize yourself with unkind words, judgment and comparison to others? Have you been trying to make some improvements in your life but are feeling overwhelmed? Sometimes trying to make positive changes in our life can be very difficult when we are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues and self-esteem due to barriers that we may not be even aware of. Most of us are searching for nothing more than to live a life filled with happiness, contentment and a sense of purpose.
