Counselling Services
I offer therapy services to adults, couples, and relationships, both virtually and in-office. I understand and admire the courage it takes to reach out for support. I take your search for help seriously and respect that your time, money, and trust are precious and valuable to you.
Because of this, I like to be candid about what you can expect from me as a therapist. I don’t tend to spend much time in session focusing on counteractive strategies (symptom-suppression based techniques, such as relaxation techniques and “positive thoughts”) - these can be excellent add-ons to our work together and I can share free and low-cost resources with you. Instead, our time together will focus on therapeutic approaches for transformational change that get to the root of whatever symptoms and concerns brought you to therapy and bring about lasting change. I will not pathologize or label you, as I firmly believe your symptoms make perfect sense and, at one time, served a helpful and protective purpose. They are the logical and coherent result of unconscious emotional learnings from your past. Together, we will explore these learnings and find the meaningful change you are looking for.
Individual Counselling
We live in a world that often keeps us distracted, judged, tired, and numbed. It’s easy to fall into a pattern of simply going through the motions. Past and present hurts, neglected needs, and unspoken shame fight to get the attention and healing they need. In our work together, expect to be challenged to try new skills, think in changed ways, and interact with emotions differently.
Some common issues that can be addressed include:
Depletion and burnout
Building authenticity versus building image
Unclear boundaries and people pleasing
Emotional numbing, addiction, and self-distraction
Grief and loss
Identity, work, and life transitions
Anxiety, perfectionism, overwhelm, and stress
Processing and healing trauma in the mind and body
Depression, “checking-out”, and experiences of “stuckness”
Negative thoughts and beliefs about self
Conflict and disconnection in relationships
60 mins | $170
90 mins | $255
Couple & Relationship Counselling
I believe healing happens in relationships. Unfortunately, we don’t always learn how to build and sustain safe, healthy, flexible, trusting, intimate, and fulfilling relationships with our partners and families. Without this, relationships can become a source of hurt, harm, disconnection, and frustration. I’m here to help and offer services that are inclusive to all adult relationships.
Some common issues that can be addressed include:
Disconnection, emotional distance, and lack of intimacy
Repeated arguments and fighting patterns
Communication breakdowns and misunderstandings
Past relationship and attachment traumas
Infidelity and trust breaches
Codependency
Parenting challenges
Grief, loss, and significant life events
Challenges creating a work / family / life balance
Navigating separation and divorce
