We have over 30 years of combined experience helping clients overcome symptoms related to stress, anxiety, family or relationship conflict, grief and loss, emotional difficulties, and more.

Our specialties are EMDR, treatments for anxiety/stress, OCD, childhood mental illnesses, emotional difficulties due to acquired brain injury/concussion and relationship/marriage counselling.
We use an eclectic approach, incorporating different styles to meet client's needs. We practice from a mindfulness-based perspective and incorporating techniques based on EMDR, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, cognitive behaviour therapy, exposure response prevention, narrative therapy and strengths-based, solution focused work.
