For Couples
I work with couples who are building new relationships or adjusting to a new stage in a long-term partnership. I work with couples who are married, common-law, or otherwise established. I am queer-positive.
For couples who share common overall goals for the relationship and are seeking to resolve conflict, repair from a relationship injury, or deepen the connection between them, I propose Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy.
For couples who are uncertain about the future of the relationship, where one or both are leaning towards ending the relationship, I recommend a brief process of Discernment Counselling to more fully understand what has happened to the relationship and develop the clarity to make a confident decision about what to do next.
For Families
I work with clients of all ages in a family setting. I support families with school-aged children who are struggling to manage strong feelings, respond to difficult behaviour, or cope with family transitions.
I work with families of adolescents who need a safe place to talk about difficult relationships with parents, partners, peers or others. I help young people to explore tough choices ahead, or repair from mistakes they have made.
I work with parents who are looking for solutions in their relationships with their children from toddlers to teens to and beyond. I speak with parents who are on their own, who are co-parenting with a spouse or an ex, or who are negotiating the unique considerations of blended families.
I work with adults who are supporting aging parents and siblings, while balancing multiple life demands.
For Individuals
I work with people who are struggling with difficult relationships. I support clients to develop and maintain healthy relationships with family, friends, employers, colleagues, and others.
I work with people who are negotiating the challenges of significant life transitions. I support clients through the grief of losses such as death, illness/disability, divorce, and other change.
