Practice Information

The strengths you’re seeking are within you. I’ll help you develop your self-esteem, mood regulation, and communication skills so you can thrive in your relationships and create the life you desire. I believe that good relationships, including the relationship you have with yourself, are an essential part of a meaningful life.

I specialize in EMDR therapy for young adults who struggle with anxiety and negative core beliefs, such as “I’m not good enough,” and help them develop confidence to create their version of a fulfilled and joyful life. 

I also specialize in working with pre-marital couples to improve their relational skills so that they’re set up for a future built on trust, connection, and shared values. 

Drawing on evidence-based methods including but not limited to EMDR, Relational Life Therapy (RLT), The Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I’ll collaborate with you to set goals and support you throughout the process of attaining them. As you explore and process difficult or traumatic experiences, shed old patterns, and learn new skills, you’ll create lasting change in your relationship with yourself and others.  

Ultimately, my goal is to help you transform your inner world so you can thrive in your relationships. I’m passionate about helping individuals and couples deepen their connection with themselves and each other. As we work together, I’ll help you learn to trust yourself again, feel deeply loved and connected, and create thriving relationships.
