I have a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy (MMFT).
Currently Accepting ONLINE clients. Sometimes people feel stuck in a part of their life, and don't want to be. In our sessions, we will talk about where you feel stuck, figure out how you’ve been getting through so far, and what we can do together to work toward feeling less stuck. We are all shaped by our environment and experiences, and you are the expert on you. I am honoured to hear a bit about you as you determine what you want to share with me. Throughout our time together, I will check in with you to make sure that I am understanding what you want me to know, and to do therapy at a pace that feels right to you.

I offer counselling for adults, couples, and teens. My goal is to provide you with a safe, trusting space where you will be heard and understood. I have experience working with issues of grief, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, adoption & fostering, life & cultural transitions, mental health, interpersonal conflict, parenting, marriage, and faith and spirituality. It takes courage to reach out when life gets hard. Maybe you’ve made efforts to resolve a stress, only to find that it was a temporary fix. I would be honored to walk with you in the process of exploring together the root of the issue in order to heal and find hope for the future.

With a masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, 20 plus years counselling and working with students and families in Education, and as a Reiki master, I incorporate all my skills to benefit my clients, so they may become embodied individuals who function with conscious action and thought.
Tired of behaving or reacting from unconscious patterns? Looking to understand your behaviours and where they come from? Want to learn to have more compassion for yourself and others? Let's start with the inner-standing that everybody has fears, beliefs and rules for how they "should" be. Comprehending these narratives allows for compassionate curiosity around the origins and purposes of these stories that fuel our behaviours. Holistic exploration of these dialogues, can result in feeling and reacting differently and providing folks with new tools to move forward to overcome specific problems.

“Your first choice for the last people who would ever go to therapy.” In my 20+ years of being a Marriage & Family Therapist, I have enjoyed great success with clients who either had unsuccessful experiences with other counsellors or were reluctant to seek help. My clients report that they find me very easy to talk with and say that I excel at making difficult subjects easy to understand.

Perhaps a personal, relationship or vocational situation is causing you distress, or mental health condition such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or addiction makes it difficult for you to pursue your aspirations. Or, perhaps, concerns about managing a situation, the outcome of significant events, or achieving meaningful goals make it difficult for you to fulfill important roles.

Marriage Counselling
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
