I have extensive experience in helping college and university students, individuals, couples and families understand and improve their coping patterns and mental health symptoms.
We can all be negatively affected by life's challenges, overwhelming experiences, and hurtful events. For many, we reach a point where we cannot navigate alone, or in the same old ways. Needing help from others is in our nature as humans. Supportive counselling provides a confidential therapeutic space that is just yours. Together, we can move through the things that are blocked, painful, or frustrating - in ways that offer healing, grace and dignity.

I have provided therapeutic services to individuals, couples, as well as groups.
The goal for my clients is to help them understand and apply solutions that the field of psychology can offer. My approach is rooted in cognitive behavior therapy, with the flexibility of utilizing other approaches tailored to clients' needs or the specificity of the problem. An important element of therapy is positive psychology, encompassing personal growth and human development. Combined, these therapeutic orientations help clients develop thoughts and actions to help manage difficult situations or challenges they are facing. Importantly I also help clients gain new skills to feel better about themselves and the decisions they make in life.

We all struggle sometimes and deserve support. Life can be hard, because of a conflict, transition, separation, loss, or because the world's sick and it's a lot harder for some to survive. It can help to talk, feel supported and heard by someone who can validate and understand our reality. I hope to create an environment full of care, including for queer and trans folks and their loved ones, and everyone living at the intersection of one or several forms of oppression. It's crucial for me to recognize and centre the expertise of each person over their own lived experience.

Therapy doesn’t always need to go deep to be meaningful, sometimes you just need someone who truly understands. You might not be in crisis, but something feels off. Maybe you’re going through the motions, questioning what’s missing, or feeling stuck in patterns you can’t quite shift. You might notice old experiences showing up in your relationships or confidence in ways that don’t feel good. My approach is warm, real, and down-to-earth. I offer a space where you can show up as you are, feel understood, and start making sense of what’s going on, without pressure or pretense.

Marriage Counselling
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
