How I can help
I understand how overwhelming life can feel at times and how even the strongest relationships hit rough patches. I can offer a calm, safe space where clients can slow down, explore what they truly need from each other, and reconnect with intention. Together, we look at patterns, strengthen communication, and uncover practical ways to repair, rebuild, and deepen connection so partners can move forward with better clarity, armed with skills, compassion, and confidence to navigate their journeys together. Alternatively, I can help couples determine if a separation or break-up is the best next step in their lives. I offer support for un-coupling and navigating separate paths, optimizing success where possible. I can work with couples together and/or individuals depending on where you are at in your journey.
Experience
I am a registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist offering individual and couples psychotherapy with a specialization in mental health and sexuality. I have worked extensively with individuals and couples with relational problems, sexual concerns and sexual identify questions. Alongside my mental health expertise, I bring extensive training in healthy sexuality and sex therapy to help individuals understand themselves better, strengthen decision making and help couples improve communication and rebuild connection. I work collaboratively and practically, using evidence‑based approaches (CBT, EFT and CT) to explore needs, patterns, and actionable changes that restore intimacy and trust.
More than just my work
I am a wife, mother, devoted friend and daughter. Like many of you, I wear many hats and try my best to honour all my roles and relationships while trying hard not to neglect my own needs. Life is a balance and I try to live by taking one day at a time. One of my favourite sayings is “Not every day is good but there is something good, in every day”.
