Getting Support
I want to start by acknowledging your courage for starting your journey of healing, discovery and personal growth. Finding my website tells me you are looking for change. Whether you are curious about how you show up in relationships, how to have others show up for you in the ways you need, why some people trigger you or why you keep falling into the same relationship patterns, I am here to help. Together, we will find the answers you are looking for so that you can repair, deepen and maintain the most important relationships in your life. Let's make sense of your story.
About Me
As a clinical counsellor and educator I am dedicated to helping my clients navigate this wonderful, yet complex thing we call life and the relationships that encapsulate it.
My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that the relationships we have with ourselves, the people in our lives as well as the environments we spend the most time in all play a pivotal role in our health, happiness and ability to thrive. I refer to this as Relational Living which acknowledges the interconnectedness of our relationships and our well-being.
I am an integrative therapist with a heightened sense of intuition, immense compassion and a genuine interest in your story. This means that I draw from a variety of modalities as well as my own knowledge and instincts to best meet your individual needs. My main priority is to understand you by uncovering the roots to your story. Through collaborate conversation we will explore the connections and disconnections within the context of your life's narrative to find the answers needed for meaningful, lifelong changes.

Areas of Realtional Living
Living relationally means acknowledging the interconnectedness of our relationships and our well-being.
Relationship with Self
The most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with yourself. How we treat ourselves is often a reflection of how we allow others to treat us and, is directly related to how we feel. I help people strengthen their relationship with themselves through self-exploration. Together, we can dig deeper into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours so that you can develop a deeper understanding of, and a more positive relationship with, your authentic self.

Such relationships can take many forms including intimate partnerships, friendships, relationships with family members as well as professional relationships with coworkers. Each of these can bring us joy, fulfillment, and support, but can also be a source of stress and conflict. Together we can explore your relational patterns and build positive relationships with the most important people in your life.

Relationship with Spaces
I am a firm believer that the physical spaces we inhabit can have a big impact on our mental health. The environments where we spend most of our time can not only impact on our mood and energy levels but can also influence our ability to relax and recharge. Whether you are struggling with clutter at work, feeling overwhelmed with maintaining a home, or simply interested in creating a more nurturing and supportive living space, we can work together to explore the relationships you have with your physical spaces and how to make them into personal oases .

Individual Sessions
How we treat ourselves directly affects how we feel about ourselves. As your partner in your journey to self-discovery, self-love and personal growth I can help you explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in a safe and non-judgmental space to develop a deeper understanding of your own needs and discover ways for you to meet them yourself.
Couples Sessions
Couples seek out therapy for a variety of reasons and at all stages of a relationship. Whether you are seeking clarity, wanting to build relational skills, repair past hurts or foster a deeper connection with your partner, I am here to help you find better ways to relate to one another.
Group Sessions
I am a firm believer in the power of story sharing. My Group Therapy sessions provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to come together to share their stories and work through challenges with others who are going through similar experiences.
I provide guidance and support as needed.
