I specialise in couples therapy with limited availability to 1pm. My partner and I have greatly benefited from therapy and it has helped us build a strong healthy relationship over the past 15 years. We continue growing our love and looking back, we certainly have come a long way from those days of regular fights, emotional distance and shutting each other out. I am trained in Gottman Therapy;L3 and certified in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. I am also trained in helping couples communicate openly around their sex lives, recover from affairs, navigate ADHD, recover from addiction and many other common issues couples may face.
If you are unsure about the future of your relationship, I can help. I was born in Ireland and qualified initially as a mechanical engineer. I became interested in psychotherapy through personal growth and engagement in my own journey. This led me to gaining a masters in youth and community work and a bachelors in psychotherapy. I moved to Canada in 2014.
I have worked in the areas of mental health, addiction and family services for over ten years. I have trained in several areas of humanistic and integrative psychotherapy including dialectic behavior therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, narrative therapy, emotionally focused therapy. Please note emails to this profile are managed by our intake coordinator.
