If you're in a couple, chances are your relationship is in crisis. You and your partner have grown apart and you miscommunicate. I can help you step outside of the patterns that lead to conflict and misunderstanding. You'll feel closer to your partner, rediscover yourself, and build a future that honours both your needs. If you're a woman, NB or POC, chances are you've been systemically disempowered. You feel invisible, exhausted, and what you want seems constantly out of reach. I can help you learn the mechanics of power to build the life of your dreams.
My approach is warm, practical, and directive, with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) at its heart. You will leave the sessions with experiments you can use straight away to shift how you communicate and how you show up. I borrow tools from EFT, IFS, The Gottman Method, and Jungian-inspired coaching like The Destination Method and Existential Kink.
My clients see dramatic improvements in as little as three or four sessions. Some choose to work together for years while building and refining the life they want. If you're curious about working together, please book an assessment session to explore your goals.

My work is directive, practical, and brief. I use a collection of evidence-based tools centered around ACT. Treatment begins by getting clear on your true heart's desires, including desires you may have buried to keep the peace. From there, you will conduct experiments that gently move you out of stuck patterns so you can build the life of your dreams.

Therapy with me is collaborative and requires active participation. You'll get practical tools each session and homework to practice them in real life. The transformation happens between sessions when you experiment with what you've learned, in conflicts, in conversation, in daily decisions. Results depend on commitment - clients who do the work see dramatic shifts quickly.
