Services

I offer individual, couples and family counselling; the rate for all sessions is $165/hour. The approach I take with my clients is warm, empathic and directive. Life is hard, and the way we have adapted to cope with hardships can, in time, work against us: what was once the solution is now the problem. I see my role to be about helping you (on your own or within your relationship) to connect with and explore your inner world; to let go of old behaviours, and to find new ones that allow for more meaningful connections with the important people in your life. This process takes courage, hard work and compassion, but the rewards can be great.

I place high value on the relationship between client and therapist: creating an environment where you the client feels safe, heard and understood is the most important component to being successful in achieving your therapeutic goals.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Individual Therapy

 

Here therapy can be tailored to your specific needs and goals. I have training in a number of therapeutic appraoches/models: cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), and solution-focused therapy. As each client is unique, I will integrate components of these models in your therapy based on your individual goals and needs.

Couples Therapy

 

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), proven to be effective to help most couples bond (70-75%), with long-term positive effects. This model is evidenced based with significant research to prove its effectiveness. Seeing relationships through an attachment lens, I believe we are hard-wired for meaningful connection. I work with couples to remove barriers of protection that have built up over time, so you can once again reach for partner and trust they will be there.

Family Therapy

 

I support parents and children to work through stuck patterns of negative interaction that have built up over time. I have extensive training in systemic family therapy, as well Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT). Whether you are looking for support in parenting young children, launching older children, or establishing a more meaningful relationship with your adult children, I help families improve communication and establish boundaries that promote healthy relationships.
