Hope for today.
Growth for tomorrow.

 Professional counselling for individuals and couples — online or face-to-face.
Together we’ll work through life’s challenges so you can heal, reconnect, and thrive.

​

I support adults and couples who feel stuck, anxious, or disconnected to find calm, clarity, and connection again — with themselves and with each other.

​

I blend Schema Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Relational Life Therapy (RLT), and the Gottman Method so you get support that is both evidence-based and practical. My style is warm and down-to-earth, but also honest and direct — clients often tell me they feel both cared for and challenged in the best way.

​

Whether you’re navigating conflict, healing after betrayal, or working through anxiety and self-doubt, I’ll Walk alongside you with strategies that help you make real and lasting change.

​

For over 15 years, I’ve helped adults and couples work through anxiety, trauma, and relationship struggles. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and practical — no jargon, no judgment.

I create a space where you can be real. Where you don’t have to have it all together. Where we figure things out at your pace.

​

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in old patterns, therapy with me is about understanding what’s behind those feelings — and learning how to move forward without losing yourself.

I tailor every session to you, using proven therapeutic models.

 

Together, we’ll:

  • Make sense of your emotions

  • Build confidence in who you are

  • Strengthen your relationships — starting with the one you have with yourself

 

I’m also passionate about early intervention and mental health education. I believe the more we talk about mental health, the easier it becomes to ask for help — and get it.

How We Work Together

Tailored therapy — grounded in proven methods, adapted to you.

You won’t get a one-size-fits-all approach here. I use a blend of evidence-based therapies that meet you where you are — and help you get to where you want to go.

Understand your triggers and patterns

With Schema Therapy, we’ll explore the deeper roots of your reactions, so you can step out of old coping styles and respond with more clarity and confidence.

Manage anxiety and stay present

Using mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) tools, you’ll learn to calm racing thoughts, reduce stress, and feel more grounded in the moment.

Strengthen your relationships

Relationships don’t fall apart overnight — they erode through miscommunication, disconnection, and unresolved patterns. Together, we’ll rebuild from the inside out using the Gottman Method, Relational Life Therapy (Terry Real), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

Safely process emotions

Through EFT Tapping, you’ll learn how to regulate and release intense feelings in a safe, effective way — helping you feel more balanced and in control.

​

Every session is adapted to your needs — because real healing isn’t just about techniques. It’s about trust, insight, and support.

Individual Counselling 

You might feel anxious, emotionally stuck, or like you’re carrying too much on your own. In individual sessions, we’ll work through what’s weighing you down, build tools for managing stress, and help you reconnect with who you are — not who you’re “supposed” to be.

​

I support adults with:

  • Anxiety and overthinking

  • Childhood or relationship trauma

  • Low self-worth or confidence

  • Burnout and emotional overwhelm

  • Life transitions or identity issues

Couple Counselling 

Every relationship hits rough patches. Maybe you're stuck in the same fight, feeling unheard, or drifting apart. Couples therapy helps you rebuild trust, communicate honestly, and feel like you're on the same team again.

​

Common reasons couples come to me:

  • Communication breakdowns

  • Trust or infidelity issues

  • Emotional disconnect or resentment

  • Life changes affecting your connection

  • Wanting to strengthen a healthy relationship

My goal is simple: to help you feel more in control of your life, more connected in your relationships, and more at peace with yourself.

​

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, conflict, or the weight of old trauma — I offer a grounded, compassionate space to work through it.

​

Together, we’ll uncover the patterns holding you back, build emotional resilience, and create the kind of change that actually lasts.

​

Online or In-Person Sessions

I offer flexible sessions — either face-to-face or online — depending on what works best for you.

 

No matter the format, you'll get the same warm, focused support.
