Although I am also a couples counsellor, I work primarily with those who have experienced trauma. Trauma is the experience of being emotionally and psychologically overwhelmed and overcome for weeks, months, or years by adverse childhood experiences and adult traumatic events. My focus is always on the present and a hopeful future - how can those debilitated by anxiety, shame, poor self-worth, child sexual abuse, c-PTSD and PTSD, and dissociative disorders including Dissociative Identity Disorder, become healthy enough to meet their own needs for income, housing, affirming relationships, and wellness - physical, emotional AND mental

People often come to counselling when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or quietly exhausted by things that no longer serve them. They may be navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, or life transitions, and want greater clarity, steadiness, and choice in how they respond. They are seeking understanding, emotional safety, and practical support to feel more aligned with themselves and their lives.

Expressive Arts is a Strength Based approach. Knowing ourselves in new ways can help us through difficulties. I believe the therapeutic journey is not becoming our best self, but our true self.
Expressive Arts Therapy is a unique approach for those who are facing stress and anxiety, struggling with loss of vitality and feelings of aliveness, and life transitions. Maybe you are wanting to challenge old patterns, foster tenderness and self-compassion, rediscover your playful nature, or find your creativity. As we learn to nurture ourselves, we can see things through a lens of curiously and openness.

Relationships are hard. Whether you are a parent, part of a couple, or caring for someone that needs you ... it may be the most important job you've taken on. But the two of you aren't getting along. You're beating yourself up, because you keep screwing up your job, when all you want to do is make things better for both of you. Are either of you neurodivergent? If so, you might even be coping with your own issues, and/or while trying to help them with theirs. You're scared of the future, and sometimes angry at the other person. You're lonely and even burnt out, because others don't understand.

You're working hard, providing, and holding it all together—but you're running on fumes and nobody seems to notice. Most men are taught that "sucking it up" is the only option. But carrying that load alone leads to the same few places: feeling burned out, snapping at the people you love, or feeling totally disconnected from the life around you. You feel stuck in a cycle of blame and attack, carrying a weight you weren't meant to carry by yourself. You don't need a lecture; you need a way to get your life back on track and feel like yourself again.

I believe strongly that every person has the innate ability to enact the changes they wish to see in their lives, and I strive to be a support and guide during that growth. Often when we are feeling depressed, anxious, or out of sync with our loved ones we feel like there is something wrong with us; we struggle to connect our current feelings with our previous experiences. Or perhaps we make the connection on a thinking level but are unable to gain a felt sense of wellness. I will help you make sense of your history and your current experiences, allowing for a deep connection to the self and, in turn, deep connection to others.

Feeling disconnected from yourself, your partner, or your sense of purpose?
Life’s transitions, big and small, can stir up uncertainty and strain even our closest relationships. Whether you’re navigating change, wanting to deepen your connection, or longing to feel more at ease in yourself, therapy can offer a space to slow down, reflect, and realign with what matters most.
I work with those ready to live with more intention and authenticity. My approach is warm, compassionate, and direct. Together, we’ll explore what’s standing in the way of greater connection, clarity, and fulfillment, and work toward practical, meaningful change.

Understanding the need for change is a big first step. Then getting the energy and nerve to find a therapist and make that first appointment can seem insurmountable. Congratulations on making it this far! Issues with emotional regulation, interpersonal communication/skills, and problematic substance use can derail our best attempts at a satisfying life. Using an individualized and integrated approach of DBT and Talk Therapy with the cheer of Solution Focused, we can work together to understand how your biology, environment and psychology can be readapted to help reach your goals. There will be infographics and worksheets! (Yay?)

You’re a new parent whose relationship before kids is a distant memory. You don’t know how the happy vision of starting a family together turned into arguing about packing diaper bags and lunches and silent evenings on opposite sides of the couch. You don’t have energy to go on a date let alone take care of yourself. In fact, I bet you’re reading this profile during the few moments that your tiny humans are asleep.You’re exhausted, and you don’t know how you will find time to dedicate towards therapy, but you know something has to change. If it doesn’t, you’re worried about the consequences for your relationship or your children.

Whether you’re an individual hoping to feel connected to yourself again, or a parent looking for some extra support, I am here to work alongside you to find a path forward.

At heart I am a down-to-earth optimist, I believe we are born with a desire to be the best version of ourselves. Rather than seeing transitions, depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues as merely suffering to be overcome, I see them also as opportunities to deepen in our understanding of self and in our ability to handle the world successfully. Each of us is on a heroic journey, and each life needs two things to grow and develop, ‘love” and “difficulties”. It is the difficulties that cause us to look inside ourselves, and to understand self in a deeper way, and to develop an outlook and the skills to be in the world.
