Life hitting you harder than you can bounce back? Life as a first responder taking a toll? I'd like to help. My goal and privilege as a therapist is to assist others in improving all aspects of their lives. I believe in the innate capacity of the human spirit to overcome adversity and experience healing. I employ a variety of approaches depending on your needs, and tailor a treatment plan to assist you on this journey. While trained and teaching a variety of interventions and therapies, I specialize in trauma therapy (specifically EMDR Therapy), relationship counseling, and short-term solution-focused work.

*I am unable to take new clients until January 2022.* It's easy to feel alone with your pain sometimes, especially if you don't fit into the neat little boxes that other people expect. Perhaps it's your gender, sexuality or relationship structure (such as consensual non-monogamy) that cause you to feel different. Maybe you're a professional trying to juggle everything and feeling like you're failing on all fronts. Whether as an individual or as part of a relationship, you may need information, emotional support, insight, communication and/or coping skills, and/or just a safe, affirming place to gain some clarity and move forward.

I see families, couples, children, adolescents, and adults. I offer a safe and empathetic environment where clients can address their difficulties and begin the process of healing. As a family therapist I navigate conversations in a way that catalyses the strengths, wisdom, and support of the family system. I help my clients work through challenging times, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, set personal goals, and work toward desired outcomes.The average number of sessions with my clients is six sessions, but it could be longer depending on the clients' goals and needs.

Counseling is more than my profession, it is my life's calling. My greatest passion lies in working with individuals, couples, and families who are ready to build towards new awareness, skills and habits for themselves and the quality of their relationships. Learning how to communicate in such a way that will leave you feeling heard, understood and that will lead to lasting change is often the focus of our work together. The first step we will take is defining a clear and rich picture of the life you've always dreamed of - the life that is just on the other side of your current problem.

Are you in a relationship that is not satisfying, conflicted, or on the brink of divorce? Do you react to your spouse in a way you do not understand? Do you ever wonder why your spouse reacts the way they do? Do you want a happier life? Restoration Therapy can help discover these questions and Solution Focused Therapy can help you create the relationship you would like to experience. I believe it is important to have more than a general counselor for your relationship. You are best served by consulting a therapist licensed and trained in the specialized area of relationships.

As a counselor who has worked in hospital and private practice settings for more than twenty years, I have deep experience helping people with a broad range of issues and concerns. We will focus on the skills and abilities you already have to reach treatment and recovery goals that you define. You don't have to hurt to heal. You can begin to feel better right now.

Are the dynamics of a specific relationship affecting other areas of your life? Or is something personal affecting your important relationships? Because relationships are the building blocks of life, they have the power to affect your happiness & well-being. It seems that creating a balance of love & trust between people in relationships enhances the individuals' hopes for the future of the relationship overall. Couple relationships function best when give & take is balanced & when relational fairness is made a priority. Other family relationships are similar & should also be fair & balanced in how individuals give & take & relate with one another.

I work with clients and families to find possible solutions and positive outcomes.I hope to be my client's best advocate in challenging times by focusing on solutions, resources and personal strengths.

There is no roadmap to guide us through life. When things happen, there is no set of instructions on how to emotionally navigate various situations. Let’s face it: adulting is not easy, no matter what age you are! Life can get overwhelming sometimes. Having someone to talk to during these difficult times of life’s stressors and transitions means you don’t have to carry the weight alone. Whether you are experiencing stress, emotional pain, relational struggles, or just need support, I am here to help.

You've been told to forget the past, forgive, and move on. You feel hurt, broken, misunderstood, alone. It's as if your emotions are taking control over everything you think, do, touch. Fear and shame invade every area of your life. You want to cry and are sure that you won’t be able to stop. You are sure that no one would ever be able to love you if they knew the “true” you. You wonder if you will ever be able to move past the pain, the hurt, and the “past” to have a healthy and fulfilling life. You don’t have to keep living like this. The time for change is now!

Life comes with many challenges. As humans we are made to overcome those challenges, but sometimes it’s hard. Maybe we aren’t getting the support we need and feel alone. Or maybe we just don’t know where to begin. I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to do it alone. Although I believe anyone is capable of finding their full-potential within themselves, I also value the importance of having people to help support you.
