Are you looking for someone who understands what it’s like to get caught in a cycle of overthinking, or feel overwhelmed by things that seem like they should come easily? Someone who understands how anxiety can make everything feel more intense, or how ADHD can make everyday tasks feel exhausting? Or maybe you and your partner find yourselves having the same argument over and over, wondering how you ended up here again? I work with individuals and couples navigating these experiences, and together we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and find approaches that genuinely support lasting change.

You may be seeking therapy because you’re carrying grief that feels hard to share — the pain of infertility, pregnancy loss, or infant loss that others may not fully understand. Perhaps trauma still feels close, your body no longer feels like a safe place, or relationships feel heavier than they once did. I work with adults navigating reproductive trauma and loss, as well as impacts of sexual abuse and attachment wounds. Many clients struggle with shame, overwhelm, difficulty trusting, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Together we work toward relief, clarity, and rebuilding a sense of safety within yourself and relationships.

It's late and you can't sleep. The house is quiet but everything inside you is loud. Maybe it's your marriage — the same fight on loop, the growing silence, the word divorce creeping in with all the weight that carries. Maybe it's something darker that nobody around you knows about — something you reach for at night just to feel okay. Maybe it's your faith itself, praying again and again and still feeling like you're getting it wrong. Maybe you've just been carrying too much for too long and don't even know where to put it anymore. And through all of it, you still show up the next morning like everything is fine.

FAQ - About Family Therapy
What issues does family therapy help with?
Family therapy can help families navigate the complex dynamics of family life, including communication challenges and recurring conflict between family members. A therapist can help family members identify dysfunctional patterns in communication and develop healthier ways of relating. Family therapy may also be helpful during major life transitions or stressful events that affect the family system, such as grief, divorce, trauma, relocation, or a serious illness. In some cases, family therapy can support families coping with specific mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, alcohol or substance use disorders, and eating disorders. In these situations, therapy can provide education and support to family members, as well as to the individual with the mental health diagnosis.

How do I know if my family needs counselling?
Family therapy may be helpful if a family consistently struggles with conflict or communication in a way that affects daily life or relationships. It can also be beneficial when someone in the family is experiencing significant emotional or behavioural changes, such as a family member becoming aggressive, withdrawing, or struggling to cope after a traumatic event. Additionally, some concerns, such as addiction or eating disorders, may be especially important to address in the context of the family unit.

Who attends family counselling sessions?
Family counselling sessions are often attended by members of the immediate family, such as parents, caregivers, children, or siblings. However, other family members may attend when appropriate, including grandparents, stepparents, stepsiblings, or co-parents. Who attends may depend on the family’s needs, the therapist’s recommendations, and the goals of treatment.

Can family therapy be done online?
Family therapy can often be done online. Virtual sessions may be especially convenient when family members live in different locations, have busy schedules, or live in a province, territory, or rural area where family therapists are less accessible. However, online therapy may not be the best fit for every family. In-person care may be more appropriate when there are safety concerns, severe conflict, limited privacy at home, or when young children have difficulty engaging through a screen.

What therapeutic approaches are used in family counselling?
Family therapy can take different forms, including systemic family therapy (exploring how individual actions affect the family), structural family therapy (uncovering the structure and relationship dynamics of the family unit), and attachment-based family therapy (focusing on how bonds between family members shape relationships). Family therapy may also include psychoeducation, which helps family members learn more about a mental health condition and how to respond to it more effectively.

How much does family therapy cost and is it covered by insurance?
Family therapy sessions, which typically last about an hour, often range from $100 to $200 or more, depending on factors such as location, therapist experience, session length, and practice setting. In general, family therapy may cost more than individual therapy because it involves multiple participants and more complex treatment planning. Coverage for family therapy varies by province or territory and by private insurance plan, if applicable. Family therapy provided by a therapist in private practice is often paid out of pocket, although some plans may reimburse services from eligible providers such as psychologists, registered social workers, psychotherapists, or counsellors, particularly when therapy is related to a diagnosed mental health condition affecting someone in the family. Public coverage is generally not an option for family therapy, unless provided through a community clinic or publicly funded agency.
