You may be looking for therapy because something has become difficult to manage. It may be anxiety, depression, loneliness, relationship conflict, pressure at work, grief, immigration-related stress, or feeling not quite yourself. Sometimes the problem is clear; sometimes it is harder to put into words. I focus on understanding what brings you here and what kind of help you need. My postdoctoral research at the University of Calgary on romantic relationships and conflict also informs my attention to close relationships and romantic bonds.
As the work develops, we may also pay attention to emotions, repeated patterns, ways of protecting yourself, and the relationship between past experiences and present difficulties. The aim is not to rush into advice or simple explanations, but to develop a clearer understanding of what is happening and what may need to change.
Choosing a therapist is not only about credentials or areas of expertise. It also matters whether you can get an initial sense of how the therapist listens, thinks, and works. I offer a free consultation. It is not a therapy session, but it can help us decide whether it makes sense to schedule an initial appointment.

I began clinical practice in 2015 and have worked primarily with adults and couples. My individual work is informed mainly by Schema Therapy, ACT, and relational thinking. In couples work, I draw mainly on Gottman-informed practice, with additional training in EFT/EFCT and CBCT.

I do not assume in advance what the focus of therapy should be. In the early sessions, I try to understand what brings you here, what has been happening, and what we may need to work on. With couples, I pay attention to conflict, communication, emotional distance, and repeated patterns between partners.
