Couples therapy for conflict, disconnection, infidelity, and difficult decisions, with support for children, teens and complex family situations. When things feel stuck and you’re not sure how to move forward, relationships can start to feel exhausting or uncertain. I work with couples navigating difficult conversations, trust concerns, and questions about the future of their relationship. I also support teens facing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and behavioural challenges, specialize in directive play therapy for children, and work with families navigating court involvement, reunification, and complex family dynamics.
I help couples step out of reactive patterns and into more grounded, productive conversations, with greater clarity about what they want moving forward. For teens, I support emotional awareness, regulation, and navigating stress, relationships, and identity. I also help children express emotions and build stronger regulation skills.
If you’re feeling stuck in your relationship or concerned about your teen, you’re welcome to reach out to see if working together feels like a good fit. If not, I’m happy to help you connect with other therapists.
