Ending a relationship can be a painful transition, leaving the parties feeling lonely and unsteady. It can also be a time of reflection and rediscovery. Therapeutic conversations can lead one to redefine their values and goals as they move forward in life developing a new path.
Divorce doesn't have to be navigated alone. As a Registered Psychotherapist and Recreation Therapist, I provide a safe and supportive environment to explore the challenges of separation and divorce, including grief/loss, depression, anxiety, self-esteem and identity, isolation, and loneliness. Together, using a collaborative and non-judgmental lens, we will find strategies to cope and manage through loss while looking forward toward your new self.
Navigating relationship break-ups is a difficult process which requires patience, empathy, and the ability to understand the complex emotions involved in the process. Our therapists are trained and experienced to help clients deal with divorce in a constructive manner which helps them revolve emotions and support them in their new identity development.
Working through the emotions of a separation or a divorce can be challenging. Individuals may feel overwhelmed with guilt, fear and sadness, triggering symptoms of anxiety, depression or grief. Therapy with me can help you process some of these complex emotions and give you the skills you need to rebuild a rich and meaningful life. Using a trauma-informed, emotion-focused lens, we will take the time to explore any wounds of attachment and be curious about your needs and wants for future relationships.
Divorce is a life-changing decision. It changes everything, but at the same time, it helps to start a new chapter in your life. In the session, we will go through five stages of acceptance of divorce: denying, anger, burgeoning, depression and acceptance.

I have worked with many clients who have needed support going through or processing a separation or divorce, or are thinking about separating and divorcing and need someone to talk to about their feelings and options. I am there as an objective person to listen without judgement and support you. I do not provide couples counselling, mediation, or legal advice.
