Practice Information

You might be feeling lonely in your relationship, stuck in the same arguments, or struggling to communicate in a way that feels safe and truly understood. Maybe trust has been broken and you're unsure how to move forward. Whether you're dating, engaged, married, navigating a long-term partnership, or healing after a breakup, you're not alone—and support is available.

I specialize in relationship counselling for both individuals and couples at all stages. This includes premarital and marriage therapy, breakups and separations, processing past relationship wounds, and dating coaching. I welcome all relationship configurations, including LGBTQ+ and ethically non-monogamous (ENM) partnerships. No matter your relationship structure or history, you deserve a space where your experiences are validated, and your goals are supported.

Together, we’ll work to break unhelpful patterns, strengthen your emotional connection, and create a relationship where both partners feel heard, respected, and valued. This work isn’t about blame or keeping score—it’s about building something real and resilient that works for you.

My approach is warm, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based methods. I draw from the Gottman Method to help couples rebuild trust, enhance communication, and foster intimacy. I’m also trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a powerful modality that supports deeper emotional connection and healing by identifying the underlying needs and emotions that shape how we relate.

Whether we're addressing miscommunication, emotional distance, conflict cycles, or trust issues, my aim is always to help you move forward with greater clarity, compassion, and confidence.

If you're ready to heal, grow, or deepen your connection—with your partner or with yourself—I'd be honored to walk alongside you. Let’s take that next step, together.

I am FNHA and CVAP approved and offer direct billing to selected insurance companies. 

I hold RSW (Registered Social Worker) and RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor) registrations.
