I support clients through an extensive range of issues that can present across the life span including relationship issues; anxiety disorders (panic; generalized anxiety; OCD; health; phobia); Depression; Loss (bereavement; separation; caring for a partner with dementia); Trauma (Adult children of alcoholics; Adult survivors of childhood abuse).
I've spent over 20 years providing one-to-one psychotherapy and counselling psychology support to individuals of all ages, from teens to octogenarians, and everyone in between. Most people attend psychotherapy with a desire to experience relief from symptoms such as anxiety; depression; grief; stress; trauma; and uncertainty about the future. I have found that clients ultimately experience long-term relief and positive gains by developing a healthier relationship with themselves. Our goal: to help you pursue a simpler, pleasant, more content life.

Most clients that come for therapy are wanting to be heard and understood, sometimes for the first time in their lives. They usually have issues that stem back to their childhood and they are somehow stuck in this way of being. Trauma can freeze a person so much that they are not able to move forward and day to day life can be very challenging for them. Most clients want to change and be the best version of themselves. They especially want this if they are in relationships or have children. Also if they are not in a relationship, they want to be in one that is nourishing, healthy and that they feel loved and cared for.

Being in therapy takes courage, commitment to growth, and a deep desire to become a much better person.
I love working with people who are just ready to work. It truly doesn’t matter if they have strong defenses and resistances. I tend to like those who show up and are determined to work on themselves and towards a far better future; the self-selected ones who want to bring about positive changes and break through life's gray challenges and hurdles. The complexity and the possibility of harnessing, overcoming, and transforming the dark energy and thoughts around us into a positive force are highly fascinating and greatly beneficial.

Dementia Counsellors
Can dementia patients benefit from counselling?
Dementia patients can often benefit significantly from counselling. While neurologists typically treat dementia itself, counsellors provide crucial emotional support for patients and their families. Therapists specializing in dementia can help clients navigate aging, end-of-life issues, social isolation, sleep challenges, and grief. They can also assist clients in adapting to the disease by addressing caregiving concerns and supporting family members. Counsellors will often also collaborate with a patient's neurologist or other medical providers to manage dementia symptoms and medication needs.
How can you tell if someone has dementia or Alzheimer's?
To determine if someone has dementia or Alzheimer's disease, there are several signs and diagnostic methods that medical professionals use. Early signs of dementia often include memory loss, difficulty with problem-solving, and challenges in completing familiar tasks. Diagnosing dementia or Alzheimer's requires a comprehensive approach, as there is no single definitive test, and initial diagnosis can sometimes be difficult as symptoms tend to worsen progressively over time. To make a diagnosis, medical professionals typically use a combination of methods, including standardized questionnaires and cognitive tests to assess memory, attention, and problem-solving skills, psychiatric evaluations to understand mental health status, brain scans to look for physical changes in the brain, as well as other medical tests to rule out other conditions.
What are the first-line treatment options for Alzheimer’s disease?
There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, but catching the disease in its early-to-moderate phases can be beneficial in order to initiate first-line treatments to help manage symptoms. Medications such as galantamine, rivastigmine, and donepezil are examples of cholinesterase inhibitors that are commonly prescribed for Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, working with a therapist or social worker can also often help patients with the disease address common behavioural and lifestyle concerns, such as anxiety, depression, irritability, sleep problems, social support, and housing changes.
When to seek treatment for Alzheimer’s?
It’s best to seek treatment at the first signs of Alzheimer's. Early warning signs of Alzheimer’s include memory problems, such as forgetting appointments or directions, as well as trouble concentrating, paying attention, retrieving words, and carrying out daily household tasks. An early diagnosis can help people slow the progression of the disease with medication and plan for the future in terms of housing, social/caregiving support, and finances.
