What do you love most about your job?
I love being part of people's growth journey. It's a great privilege... and it's often a lot of fun too!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've always enjoyed getting into the deeper parts of what makes us tick. I've found that the meaning behind the things we feel/do/perceive are often more accurate barometers of what's real than the actual things we tend to focus on much of the time. We tend to focus, for instance, on conflict we have with a coworker or boss. But as we unpack that, we come to realize that it often has less to do with the argument itself and more to do with our experience of being misunderstood, disrespected, or undervalued. Once we get to that, it's a far easier problem to work with.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients should find a therapist who feels right for them. Am I the one? I believe myself to be compassionate, caring, skilled, and intelligent. But I know from experience that the right personal fit tends to be an organic process: either it's there or it isn't. What's most important to me is not that my clients like me but that they find the right, best fit. Come in for a session... let's see if we fit, and I'm optimistic we will! But even if we don't, I promise to help find you someone who might better serve your needs.
80 Minute Individual Intensive Session
This is a longer session for more in-depth individual counselling. Perhaps you are experiencing a crisis, or maybe you just like to go deeper! This is also the recommended (but not required) duration for initial therapy sessions.
50 Minute Individual Session (1:1)
This is the typical choice for individuals wanting counselling. Dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, or personal issues? This is likely the type of session length you're looking for.
Online/Telephone Counselling (1:1)
Having a hard time leaving the house? Stuck at the office? Sometimes it simply makes more sense to do a session online. I'm set up for Skype, Zoom, Messenger, and telephone sessions.
Intensive Couples/Family Counselling
Is your relationship with your loved one or another family member in crisis? Perhaps there's been an affair or another form of betrayal?
Longer sessions really do make a difference: 80 minutes is the recommended amount of time to ensure that everyone has a voice.
50 Minute Couples/ Marriage/Family Counselling
Are you looking for relationship help? Maybe you are in one of those conflict zones that seems to have no solution? Maybe you are just starting out and wanting to make sure you're on healthy footing.

Co-Parenting in Conflict and Divorce
Our children are our most prized jewels. They are also those most vulnerable to the stressful changes and complexities of our lives. You may have already experienced that the process of litigation is expensive and often makes things worse rather than better.
Whether everybody is under one roof or three, let's make a plan together to agree on what is best for the kids.
