Healthy relationships (including the one with ourselves) are necessary for humans to thrive. What characterizes a healthy relationship, and what influences our ability to participate in them is explored in therapy. Human beings crave attachment and connection but also engage in behaviors that can be hurtful and damaging. Therapy is about healing from the past, learning about boundaries and the process of repair, understanding patterns, self reflection, and working towards goals that are aligned with our values, desires, and needs. I am passionate about working with people of all walks of life who want to create meaningful change.

Whether you attend therapy as an individual, with a partner or your family, we want to know about the big picture -- the people that influence you, the stresses that pile up, the barriers that prevent change for the better, and the strengths you've drawn on to come this far.
We can help. Things are hard right now, and maybe you're feeling overwhelmed and lost. We can help you journey from pain to relief. Imagine what your ideal would look like. We want to walk with you to get there. Marriage and Family Therapists are rigorously trained, highly skilled professionals with a unique approach to healing. We view people within their relationships, which gives a fuller picture of who you are and how you got there. We will help you evaluate your life and understand what has kept you stuck, then help you make the necessary changes.

My practice addresses a spectrum of challenges, including coping skills, relationship dynamics, and personal growth, through evidence-based approaches.
In the realm of psychological well-being, each individual's journey is uniquely nuanced, often requiring a compassionate guide who is not only well-versed in the complexities of the human mind but also specializes in navigating its intricate challenges. That's where my professional expertise comes into play. Specializing in Education and Learning Disabilities, Parenting, and Relationships, my practice is rooted in the understanding that psychological support must be as diverse as the individuals seeking it.

I will strive to provide a place of safety for anyone struggling to live in a world that is often oppressive and unjust; particularly the queer and trans community, those experiencing weight stigma or struggling with their relationship to food, exercise, and society's wellness culture, and those living with neurodiversity or disability.
We all tell stories about our lives. Sometimes these stories are themed with negative beliefs about ourselves; maybe stories we have come to believe because of traumatic experiences, maybe stories that those around us believe, and maybe the environments and contexts we live in also emphasize these problem stories. If you want to explore a more hopeful story for your life, I am here to support you in the exploration and re-telling of your life story; a beautiful story that I believe already exists within you.

I offer evidence based counselling approaches to individuals, couples and families.
Looking for a safe place where you can make real, sustainable change? I have over 30 years of experience as a counsellor and 25 years as a mediator.. My focus is a blend of solution focused, holistic, Buddhist psychology (including mindfulness, meditation and mindful self compassion) and neuroscience. My philosophy is very much based on the importance of our inner work. This is reflected in my own daily practice of meditation, mindfulness and self compassion. Together we can focus on your inner peace, peaceful relationships and connection. Mediation rates (125 Ind and 150 joint) are slightly higher than counselling rates.

Couples Counselling
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
