How I can help you

I am a trusted authority for helping individuals and couples improve their mental health and repair conflict.  Many of my clients know me as a direct, ‘non-judgmental’ therapist who gets to the heart of issues quickly.  I empower people to resolve their challenges—often by clarifying issues and teaching needed skills.  I’m big into personal growth.

Counselling for Individuals

Over the last 20 years in private practice, I’ve helped hundreds of people transform their lives by:

  • Getting to the heart of issues—and guiding people towards clarity, enhanced self-esteem, and solutions to their challenges or relationship issues

  • Developing self-awareness and emotional intelligence.  Often, this includes releasing negative mental, emotional, and behavioural patterns to overcome anxiety, depression, confusion, excessive guilt, shame, grief, or insecure attachment styles

  • Learn to like, respect, and trust yourself (your own perceptions and feelings) and transform your self-image

  • Overcoming the exhaustion of people pleasing and the tendency to blame yourself of feel guilty/responsible whenever conflict is experienced. 

  • Overcoming insecure, anxious, and avoidant attachment styles—to increase confidence and repair conflict 

  • Narcissistic abuse recovery

  • Trauma recovery

Counselling for Couples

I am passionate about helping couples recreate loving relationships by offering objective guidance and mediation.  Some of this work involves healing and skill development including:

  • Conflict resolution and repair—with the goal of open, honest communication.

  •  Development of key communication skills—including active listening, accountability, and creating safety in communication   

  • Address and work through issues of defensiveness—so feedback is viewed as positive information with the purpose of repairing conflict—and not a personal attack 

  • Re-establish shared goals and visions—enabling personal growth and growth as a couple 

  • Work through and overcome insecure, anxious, or avoidant attachment styles

  • Reverse relationship decay

  • Learning how personal accountability is critical to developing a healthy relationship—as well as releasing resentments and hostility

  • Learning how a growth mindset is essential to a happy, successful relationship
