Therapists in M6C

I bring a gentle, curious and attuned approach to my work with individuals, families and couples. Together, we will examine patterns in your life, identify and expand your capacity to cope with the challenges you experience and deepen your relationship with self and others. I view therapy as taking a course on oneself and an opportunity to evolve. My work is often focused on supporting clients to understand, experience and tolerate emotions and to shift out of behavours, thoughts and coping that are no longer serving them.

Supporting you throughout your reproductive journey is my dream work. Maybe you're wondering if you made the right choice to have a child/try IVF/access an abortion? Maybe you need help setting boundaries with family, or asking for more support? Navigating complications or loss? Processing a traumatic birth experience? I'm here to talk about it.

With over 30 years of clinical experience, I welcome Children, Teens, Adults, Couples & Families into my practice who are facing anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief, addiction, chronic pain/illness, or stress from relationship conflicts. I specialize in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Relapse Prevention Therapy, and Self-Care which are personalized to your unique circumstance. I also provide a special Couple's Program and a Deeper Healing Program that addresses pain and utilizes strength to repair.

I work with adults and couples to help them move towards a state of continued growth, compassion, and self-awareness in a way that is collaborative, strengths-based, and empowering. I believe in creating a client-therapist relationship that fosters authenticity, support, and space for both acceptance, and for change. This can begin in our very first session. Together, we can begin to tease apart the adaptive approaches to dealing with and moving through life you've grown accustomed to, and begin to decipher which of these patterns are serving you, and which you may be interested in moving beyond.

Does a lack of intimacy and communication leave you feeling discouraged about the future of your relationship? Do you feel distant and disconnected from your partner? Do you yearn to have your voice heard without judgment and your experiences met with empathy? We all dream of a fairytale romance but the realities of long-term partnership and parenthood can create challenges. The good news is that you're not alone and there are effective ways to reconnect and use these difficulties to strengthen your bond. It doesn't matter how long you've struggled. Together, we can revive love, passion, and intimacy in your relationship.
