Practice Information

Relationships make the world go round; they can also make your world miserable when things aren't working. I am a trained couples counsellor with the tools and intuition to help you improve your relationships, including your relationship with yourself. I have the skills, temperament, training, and experience to help you get your life and relationships back on track. I have advanced training as a relationship counsellor and over 20 years of direct experience. I use evidence-based methods, including Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT, for individuals). I am also trained in depth-psychotherapy; helping you unearth the roots of issues so that change is possible and can be maintained for the future..  

Although primarily a couple's counsellor, I have a strong background in helping individuals too, including post graduate certification in anxiety and depression treatment, experience as a crisis counsellor, and an in-depth understanding of how to help people feel better. I can also help you deal with grief and loss, and all the curve balls life can throw. 

I have created a unique program of Intensive Couples Therapy (the first in Western Canada). Contact me for more details about how to get your relationship on track at a specialized retreat just for you..

  • Good therapy starts with the therapist; great therapy begins with you. Let me know what you are facing and I would be happy to explain how I can help you with timely and effective skills, empathy, and a professional therapeutic alliance. 

Specialized Training
