Are you feeling overwhelmed dealing with difficult situations and people in your life? Are your symptoms affecting your daily functioning? Do you notice yourself freezing, avoiding or fleeing to try and cope with triggers? If you're experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma from narcissistic/other abuse and/or relationship issues in both your personal life and in your career, I can provide you with individual counselling and/or psychotherapy to help you better cope using evidence-based approaches that you'll be able to apply for the rest of your life. My customized counselling approach is practical and effective.

I often use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With CBT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
