We all face ups and downs in life. While we do our best & can pick ourselves up in most cases, sometimes we get stuck & the solutions we devise don't work. During these times we need someone to guide us through a process that can help us move past these issues & give us valuable insights into ourselves.

Life has a way of challenging us in ways that can stop even the strongest of us in our tracks. Increased stress, sudden life changes, anxiety, unresolved trauma.... many things can trigger disruptive behaviours and emotions that throw us off-base, damage our health and relationships, or simply hold us back. If your mental or emotional well-being, your relationships with others or with yourself, or your ability to deal with problems is out of balance – whatever the issue or stumbling block, a safe therapeutic relationship can help you return to, or develop a greater sense of ease and well-being.

Maybe it’s the case that: you’re not getting asked on dates but wish a man would find you and sweep you off your feet; you always seem to attract the “wrong” men when what you really want is someone who cherishes you; the men you like don’t seem to like (or call) you back and you just want someone to choose you first. If you are done with endless online dating and want to attract real love in real life, then you need to break free from past patterns.

Welcome! I'm glad you're here. Whether you're struggling with relationship issues, having trouble coping with difficult emotions, or wish to feel more connected to yourself or your life, together we can explore what’s contributing to your struggles and find a path forward. I often work with young adults and adults to identify and understand the origins of their patterns, increase their comfort with emotions, and treat themselves with more kindness. I see emotions as valuable sources of information that point us to your needs and current/past experiences that may need processing - rather than problems to fix or get rid of.

Relationship Issues Counsellors
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
