Support for every stage of life

I take an experienced and respectful, client-centered approach to Individual Counselling.
Individual Counselling may take a blend of approaches related to particular client needs, such as: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy; Psycho-dynamic Therapy; Grief and Loss; Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy; Dialectical Behavioral Therapy; Solutions-Focused Therapy; Trauma-informed approaches; and more. Counselling can be a flexible process in working towards goals you have set, and at other times it can be a check-in or self-care tool to work with what is happening in that particular moment or week.

Family therapy offers families the opportunity to expand and grow, focusing on strengths, values, and challenges.

Family therapy involves looking at family roles, dynamics, parenting approaches and strategies, communication patterns, boundaries, and ways in which the family members relate to each other and themselves. I take a strengths-based, non-judgmental approach to parenting and family counselling, working with blended families, parenting after separation, foster families, step-parenting, and step-coupling.

Children and youth want to be seen, heard, and understood.

I work from a non-judgmental child and youth-led stance to create trust and rapport. This help to build the respectful relationship essential to therapeutic work. I connect with children and youth on their terms, valuing their wisdom and experience, while adding therapeutic insights to whatever they may be struggling with. I use child and youth-informed, evidence-based psychoeducational, play therapeutic, and cognitive-behavioral therapies, among others.

I am experienced and trained in the Gottman Method Couples Therapy and take a respectful, collaborative approach.

I include a blend of emotionally-focused, response-based counselling approaches, tailored to the particular needs of the relationship. I believe that it is important to create an environment of respect, and compassion, as well as to address the vulnerabilities that may come with accessing marital/relationship therapy. We respectfully work through the challenges, as well as focus on the resilience and strengths of the partnership. We work as a team from an informed-consent approach to create the safety needed to grow and expand, becoming more attuned to each other as a couple.

Past experiences, anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm can affect every part of life, including relationships, work, parenting, and your overall sense of wellbeing. Together, we'll create a safe, supportive space to better understand what's happening beneath the surface, develop practical coping strategies, and gently work toward healing, resilience, and lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.

I enjoy supporting children, teens, adults, and families navigating ADHD, Autism, and other neurodivergent experiences. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, recognizing that every brain works differently. Together, we'll build greater understanding, self-compassion, and practical strategies that honour your strengths while supporting everyday challenges at home, school, work, and in relationships.

I provide respectful and informed counselling for LGBTQIA2S+ communities creating a safe, accepting, and non-judgmental environment. It is important to respect and to be able to explore sexuality, identity, genders and gender orientation from an affirmative perspective. I offer counselling for LGBTQIA2S+ families, parents, queer advocacy and support, children, youth and adults.

I use a secure Zoom Professional account for video sessions, as well as a telephone call or text option. Online counselling can provide flexibility and options for people to access counselling services more easily.
