My practice offers individual, couples and family therapy either in the clinic or via Zoom. While therapy can be challenging I like to offer an authentic relationship with practicality and humour. No issue is “off the table” – no shame, no judgement, no guilt.
Having been trained in a hospital setting, I work effectively with depression, anxiety disorders, and substance use and other addictions. Similarly, I work comfortably with emotion dysregulation and trauma using CBT and DBT. In addition, I have a significant focus on marriage, couples and family therapy focusing on couples experiencing a high level of marital conflict, relationship breakdown or who want to improve the quality of their relationship. Restoring healthy relationships and supporting healthy family systems is one of my core passions! Do you feel you need this?
I have an adolescent focus as well, having worked with adolescents and young adults in a school setting working on mental wellness, behavioural issues, coping skills, strengths and resilience building. Other areas of practice include general life stressors, such as situational or ongoing crises, issues related to family court.
