This type of therapy can help with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, mood-related disorders in adults, marital issues, and behavioural problems in children.
In my counselling practice I use an eclectic approach with a client-centred focus to help clients identify their preferred futures, or explore their concerns, challenges, thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. We work together, focusing on solutions, clarifying goals and strategies, eliciting the client’s existing strengths, and incorporating new learnings into everyday life. I use a Solution-Focused Brief Therapy format but can also draw on aspects from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness.

Having been trained as both a psychotherapist and a Yoga psychology teacher, I view life’s experiences as integral to our soul’s journey toward wholeness. By learning from our past and transcending suffering, we cultivate greater awareness, awaken our inner light, uncover our purpose, and recognize our innate qualities & gifts.
My approach integrates the scientific foundations of Western psychology—including psychodynamic & transpersonal perspectives—with the wisdom of Eastern and Indigenous traditions, such as Yoga philosophy & mindfulness. If this perspective resonates with you, I would be honoured to support you on your journey.

I work with individuals and couples navigating challenges in their relationships and sexual lives: differences in desire, difficulty experiencing pleasure, disconnection, communication struggles, and recurring patterns in relationships. Some are trying to repair trust, rebuild intimacy, or reconnect after a period of distance; others are exploring non-monogamy, kink, or new ways of relating. Many arrive not only with a “problem,” but with a feeling that something more is possible. Therapy offers a structured and supportive space to make sense of these experiences and find news ways of moving forward.

It throws us unexpected curveballs, leaving us feeling anxious, depressed, sad, bewildered, grieving, and confused.
I believe in the profound impact of reconnecting our emotions (feelings) to our bodies, as all too often in society, we spend too much time in our ‘heads’ without listening to what the body tells us.

Anxiety Counsellors
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
