Services

Specializing in working with couples and individuals in managing communication patterns, attachment wounds, and navigating ADHD, anxiety & trauma.

Offering a warm, supportive space for individual and couples therapy to explore unhelpful cycles, reduce anxiety, strengthen communication, and build safer, more connected relationships. I support individuals and couples who want to navigate life’s challenges, improve emotional regulation, and deepen intimacy.


Couples Counselling

Couples counselling helps you communicate in ways that don’t lead to shutdown, escalation, or defensiveness. It supports rebuilding trust after betrayal or emotional distance, while also restoring emotional and physical intimacy.

Together, we work to identify and shift the negative interaction cycles that keep you feeling stuck. Therapy focuses on strengthening emotional safety, deepening understanding of each other’s needs, and creating new patterns of connection.

Couples therapy can also be especially helpful during life transitions such as parenting, chronic stress, ADHD, or blending families. Along the way, we rebuild friendship, appreciation, and a stronger sense of partnership.

With the right support, relationships can move from simply surviving to feeling secure, connected, and supportive again.

Individual Counselling

Individual counselling can help you better understand how trauma, anxiety, ADHD, and past experiences shape your thoughts, emotions, and relationships.

Therapy supports you in improving communication and connection, feeling calmer and less overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, and identifying patterns that contribute to emotional reactivity, avoidance, or shutdown.

Individual counselling can also help you process traumatic experiences at a pace that feels safe, build self-confidence and healthier boundaries, and develop practical tools for emotional regulation, sleep, focus, and daily life.

You don’t need to have everything figured out, therapy is a place to start exactly where you are.


Approaches & Modalities

My work integrates evidence-based approaches tailored to your goals. Below are some of the primary modalities I draw from in individual and couples therapy.

For Individual Therapy

  • What is it?

    EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps your brain reprocess distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming in the present. It supports the nervous system in integrating experiences that may feel “stuck.”

    Who can it help?

    Helpful for trauma, anxiety, attachment wounds, and experiences that continue to feel triggering or emotionally intense, even when you understand them logically.

  • What is it?

    CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, helping you identify unhelpful patterns and replace them with more balanced, effective ones.

    Who can it help?

    Helpful for anxiety, ADHD, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and anyone who feels stuck in negative thinking loops.

  • What is it?

    IFS explores the different “parts” of you (like the inner critic or protector) and helps build compassion, understanding, and healing from within.

    Who can it help?

    Supportive for trauma, self-criticism, shame, emotional blocks, and those wanting deeper self-understanding.

  • What is it?

    CPT helps people process traumatic experiences by examining how trauma has shaped beliefs about safety, trust, control, and self-worth.

    Who can it help?

    Designed for PTSD and trauma survivors who feel stuck in guilt, shame, or trauma-related thinking patterns.

  • What is it?

    ACT helps you build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with your values.

    Who can it help?

    Helpful for anxiety, ADHD, stress, chronic worry, life transitions, and people who feel stuck battling their own thoughts.

  • What is it?

    Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences, early relationships, and unconscious patterns influence your current emotions, behaviours, and relationships.

    Who can it help?

    Helpful for long-standing patterns, relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and those wanting deeper insight into why they feel or react the way they do.

  • What is it?

    DBT combines acceptance and change strategies while teaching skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and healthier relationships.

    Who can it help?

    Great for people who feel emotionally overwhelmed, struggle with intense reactions, impulsivity, or relationship conflict.

  • What is it?

    Relational therapy focuses on how patterns from past and present relationships shape the way you connect, communicate, and experience yourself with others. The therapeutic relationship itself is used as a safe space to explore and shift these patterns.

    Who can it help?

    Helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment wounds, people-pleasing, conflict patterns, loneliness, and anyone wanting healthier, more authentic connections.

For Couples Therapy

  • What is it?

    A research-based approach that helps couples improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen friendship, trust, and intimacy.

    Who can it help?

    Useful for couples dealing with recurring arguments, communication breakdowns, betrayal, or wanting to deepen their connection.

  • What is it?

    EFT focuses on emotions and attachment needs, helping partners understand underlying feelings and create stronger, more secure bonds.

    Who can it help?

    Ideal for couples & individuals experiencing disconnection, conflict, trust issues, or difficulty feeling emotionally close.

Collaborative Approach

I see therapy as a partnership where we work together to understand your experiences, set meaningful goals, and move at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Your voice, insight, and feedback guide the process, while I bring clinical knowledge, structure, and support.

Sessions are offered both virtually and in person, allowing you to choose the option that best fits your needs and schedule. Virtual therapy provides flexible, accessible support from the comfort of your own space, while in-person sessions offer a more traditional, face-to-face experience. Both formats provide the same thoughtful, evidence-based care in a safe and supportive environment.

Change starts with understanding.
Together, we’ll make space for clarity, connection, and new ways forward.
