Psychotherapy or talk therapy can be a helpful way to address problems and create meaningful change in your life.

Therapeutic approaches include: Response-Based Practice, Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, and Systemic Family Therapy.

Life doesn't have to be in crisis to feel difficult. You may be carrying stress, navigating a challenging transition, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, or noticing patterns that no longer serve you. Individual counselling offers a space to slow down, make sense of what you're experiencing, and reconnect with yourself with greater clarity. Together, we'll explore the emotional, relational, and behavioural patterns shaping your experience, helping you move forward with more confidence, intention, and ease. The goal isn't to become a different person—it's to understand yourself more deeply and respond to life's challenges in a way that feels aligned with who you are.

I offer a multidisciplinary and relational approach to psychotherapy that includes early attachment work and a sensitivity to intergenerational dynamics and trauma, with a holistic orientation and evidence-based techniques. The role of the body in healing is central to my work, as I draw on many somatic practices. Whichever therapeutic modality we choose as best suited to your current journey, we work with the fundamental creative drive that is present in all of us to encounter the many facets of your healing pilgrimage necessary for growth and lasting change. I offer EMDR and other trauma processing approaches to support you in your healing when appropriate.

Patterns of self-sabotaging behaviors, disorganized thinking and overwhelming emotion can make life very difficult. How can we move forward when our bodies seem to betray us and we just need a break from the buzzing anxiety or the numbing of depression? What you may not know is all these symptoms are the imprint of our unfinished business stuck in the body and just begging to be seen, cared for, and accepted. Working with me means looking with curiosity, compassion and an educated-eye at how old wounds of betrayal, abandonment and rejection show up to block living your best life. You are not alone and there is hope.

Depending on the issues clients present with during a session, sometimes counselling needs to go deeper into the underlying factors contributing to a mental illness diagnosis or relational distress. Psychotherapy is an approach to help clients get progress when previous attempts to address issues have not resulted in the therapeutic transaction a client is looking for in therapy. I work with clients to help them deepen their therapy process and work toward the change they are looking for to improve their life and personal confidence.
