I truly believe in the power and capacity for people to make positive changes in their lives and relationships. With understanding, personal experience, knowledge and a little humor, I can help you to make positive changes in your life and your relationships. I can also provide specialized help in the treatment of panic and anxiety disorder.

Counselling can help you find answers and provide coping skills to bring about positive changes in your life.

For couples I work from the Gottman method of marriage counselling. This is a wonderful way to improve all areas of you marriage and provide lasting change.

For individuals I work from a variety of methods depending on the individual. I also use Hakomi body centered psychotherapy which I find very effective in helping facilitate significant and lasting positive change.
