Supporting teens, adults, and couples in navigating conflict, expressing needs, and creating healthier, more connected relationships.
Registered Clinical Counsellor / Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional
Many people come to therapy feeling distant from themselves or the people they love. Couples may feel more like roommates than partners, unsure how they drifted apart. Individuals may feel overwhelmed by stress, emotions, or past experiences that still shape their relationships today. I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can explore these challenges at a pace that feels steady and safe.
I support adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are navigating communication difficulties, emotional disconnection, intimacy concerns, anxiety, and trauma. My focus is to help you understand the patterns that keep you stuck so you can move toward a deeper sense of closeness, confidence, and emotional clarity. Whether we are exploring past wounds, building skills for healthier communication, or reconnecting with your needs and desires, I work collaboratively and without judgment.
With over fourteen years of experience, I blend practical tools with emotional insight to support meaningful and lasting change. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, more connected, and more understood in your relationships and within yourself.
My approach is warm, trauma-informed, and grounded in practical strategies that help clients understand their emotions and communicate with compassion. For couples, I often draw on Gottman Method Couples Therapy to help partners explore the deeper layers of conflict, rebuild trust, and reconnect emotionally and physically. As a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional, I support clients in navigating intimacy concerns with safety, openness, and respect.
With individuals and teens, I integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness practices, and trauma-focused approaches to help clients develop emotional regulation, self-awareness, and resilience. I pay close attention to how past experiences, attachment patterns, and unspoken needs shape present-day relationships. Together, we explore what feels painful or confusing and build tools for expression, connection, and confidence.
I believe therapy works best when you feel seen, supported, and empowered. My role is to offer clarity, insight, and emotional steadiness while guiding you toward healthier patterns of communication, deeper intimacy, and a stronger sense of self.
I have worked as a Registered Clinical Counsellor for more than 18 years, supporting adolescents, adults, couples, and families through relationship stress, trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions. Much of my background is rooted in couples therapy, intimacy work, and emotional regulation, which allows me to help clients understand the patterns and deeper stories that shape closeness, connection, and communication.
I am trained in the Gottman Method Couples Therapy (Levels 1 to 3), which offers practical, research-based tools for improving communication, repairing conflict, and strengthening emotional and physical intimacy. As a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional, I also support couples and individuals.
Outside of counselling, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring new restaurants, and staying active through fitness and nature walks. I love learning, whether through reading, podcasts, or attending workshops that deepen my understanding of relationships and emotional well-being. These grounded and restorative practices reflect the same balance and connection I hope to help clients create in their own lives.
What inspires me most: witnessing individuals and couples discover new ways of understanding, communicating, and reconnecting with themselves and each other.
Whether you are looking to strengthen your relationship, heal past hurts, or reconnect with yourself, therapy can help you find clarity and confidence. If you are ready to begin this work, I would be honoured to support you with compassion, insight, and practical tools for meaningful change.
