You May Be Looking for Help With…
Explore what has been difficult, understand what may be keeping you stuck, and find a way forward.
EMDR THERAPY
EMDR can help you process distressing experiences that continue to affect how you feel, respond, and connect today. EMDR is available for both individual and couples counselling.
TRAUMA & PTSD
Past experiences still feel present, leaving you anxious, on edge, disconnected, or overwhelmed.
ANXIETY & BURNOUT
Your mind won't slow down, your body feels constantly activated, or everyday life has become difficult to manage.
GRIEF & LOSS
You are trying to navigate a significant loss or change and find your footing again.
DEPRESSION
You may be feeling low, disconnected, or unlike yourself, and want support finding your way forward.
COUPLES & RELATIONSHIPS
Communication has become difficult, conflict keeps repeating, or you are struggling with disconnection, trust, or the effects of infidelity. Premarital counselling is also available to help couples build a strong foundation as they prepare for marriage.
CHRISTIAN COUNSELLING
You would like your Christian faith and values to be meaningfully integrated into counselling as part of your healing and growth. Faith-based premarital counselling is also available for Christian couples seeking to prepare thoughtfully and biblically for marriage.
I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with EMDRIA-approved EMDR training. My additional training includes Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and other trauma-informed approaches.
I believe meaningful counselling begins with understanding the person, not simply the problem that brings them to counselling. Our experiences, relationships, and the ways we have learned to navigate life can shape how we respond to what is happening today. My role is to help you understand those patterns, work through what continues to affect you, and create meaningful change that extends beyond the counselling room.
I work with adults and couples experiencing trauma, anxiety and emotional distress, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, infidelity and betrayal, and significant life changes. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based, with treatment tailored to your circumstances, goals, and values.

A Respectful, Supportive Space
A place where you can speak openly, ask difficult questions, and explore what you are experiencing without being reduced to a label.
