Counselling / Psychotherapy

Counselling is a collaborative effort between the counsellor and client. Professional counsellors help clients identify goals and potential solutions to problems which cause emotional turmoil; seek to improve communication and coping skills; strengthen self-esteem; and promote behaviour change and optimal mental health.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding these changes please reach out to me!

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.

I use a variety of modalities tailored to fit individuals and couples, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (parts work), Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Attachment Repair. Above all, I am a compassionate and empathetic counsellor who will be a partner in your therapeutic journey.

In my spare time I enjoy gardening, knitting, and spending time with my teenage kids, husband, and Bill Murray the Yorkie.
