Work with me
As a Registered Psychotherapist, I specialize in working with people who are looking to process through trauma, depression and anxiety in various stages of their lives. Oftentimes, my clients have experienced significant dysfunction in their family of origin and continue to wrestle with the consequences of that in their present life.
I also work frequently with people struggling with grief, addictions, boundaries, relational issues, and knowing how to integrate faith with their experience.
I work with couples who are looking to better communicate, resolve conflict, affair recovery, co-parenting, blending of families, etc. I work with an emotionally focused attachment lens which can be a helpful way to move toward healing and hope.
I employ a warm, empathic, and eclectic approach with my clients. Additionally, I seek to tap into my clients’ natural strengths while equipping them for change.
While change can be scary and at times difficult, I believe it is very possible. Please know that you are not alone in your process of change.

WHO SHOULD COME TO COUNSELLING?
Counselling is both for the person who is feeling immense pain and for the person who is enjoying life and wants a place to explore further growth. Because counselling is about soul care and a place to be heard, every person can benefit from therapy.
​
HOW LONG DOES EACH THERAPY SESSION TAKE?
Each session is 50 minutes. I work with clients to develop a treatment plan and a course of therapy uniquely designed to fit their needs. With that in mind, counselling can last just a few weeks or go on for many months, depending on what you need to work through and your own pace and individual process.
