Relationships have an interesting way of bringing hidden wounds, unmet needs, and personal blindspots to the surface.
Challenging relationship dynamics can be pointing us to where we need to heal and grow either individually or as a couple. If you're interested in a mindfulness-based approach to healing and developing a conscious connection with your partner, let's talk.

For our first meeting there will be no charge - an opportunity to check out the chemistry. Is there a fit? I use an eclectic blend of modalities / tools and a respectful dose of intuition. Together we'll tailor make the approach that meets your needs. I see exploring relationship (any) as a fast track to higher self awareness and consciousness - a most fascinating journey. Welcome aboard! And courage is essential - but I can help you find it.

They say our greatest weakness lies in giving up! We have all been there. I decided that if life was going to be difficult, I would become its greatest “warrior” and teach others to do the same. Too often we use our armour to hide our inner selves, rather than see it as our strength which only comes from taking a risk, facing our fears, taking a step forward, and learning that every battle is won with wisdom. I am here to empower you to take that chance on yourself — your mind is a powerful force, but you are its master.
Through various forms of therapy, one can explore different perspectives, coping skills, and motivators to establish better relationships; self-esteem and self-direction; deal with complicated family or couple dynamics; face a significant crisis or transition; manage substance use or addiction; and collaboratively make cognitive and behavioral changes to better emotional, mental, and even physical health!
I work with motivated individuals who are looking to work towards better understanding, dealing with, and changing their lives. Clients of mine often have behaviours, thoughts, feelings, or emotions that are dysfunctional or cause them discomfort, such as feeling anxious, depressed, confused, reactive, or scattered. Many of my clients have difficulty with behaviours they feel they have no control over, such as habits or addictions, aversions, or getting easily frustrated or angry. I help my clients understand why these issues occur and help them create tools and protocols such that they can create the changes they want.
I am passionate about helping people overcome the obstacles/challenges keeping them from living their best and most-fulfilling lives. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, underwhelmed, or somewhere in between, you do not have to work through it alone. In a collaborative partnership, built on a foundation of genuine care, I am committed to working with you to explore, uncover, and work through whatever is getting in your way.
My approach to therapy is an integrative and holistic one that honours the unique experiences, lives, and worldviews of every client to identify and utilize their strengths, highlight their values, and deepen their sense of self. I look forward to connecting with you.
