Reaching out for help is a brave and vulnerable thing to do. By reading this, you have already shown a willingness to understand the complexities of your relationship, an important first step in deepening your connection with your partner.

I believe human being are hard-wired for connection. We all want to be seen and understood as we are. Emotionally Focused Therapy helps couples reengage with each other by exploring the relationship patterns that are getting in the way of a healthy, loving bond. As your counsellor I will listen with curiosity and empathy as you teach me who you are as individuals and as a couple. Together we will work to identify and understand any unwanted patterns as we lay the foundation for a more authentic, vulnerable connection. If you are ready to strengthen your relationship, I would love to join you as you begin this life changing journey.

I am currently completing my Master’s of Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University and I bring a lifetime of diverse experiences to my work with clients.
