Psychological Services
Individual Therapy
Anxiety, trauma, addictions, and major life transitions can feel overwhelming. Therapy provides clarity, direction, and practical tools for meaningful change.
My work is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence. I integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and solution-focused strategies, tailoring each session to your goals and pace. Therapy focuses on building insight, skills, and resilience that support lasting progress.
I bring steady clinical depth and real-world understanding to the therapeutic process.
Common Areas of Focus
- Addictions and substance use concerns
- Anxiety and stress
- Trauma and recovery
- Depression and mood changes
- Life transitions and personal growth
Couples therapy
Relationships can be deeply meaningful — and at times, deeply strained. When communication breaks down, conflict becomes repetitive, or emotional distance grows, therapy can help you reconnect with clarity and direction.
My Approach
My approach is strength-based and grounded in the evidence-based Gottman Method. I work with couples to improve communication, resolve conflict, and rebuild trust while identifying the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Sessions focus on practical tools, emotional insight, and shared responsibility — not blame.
With a structured and collaborative process, couples develop skills that support resilience, deeper connection, and long-term stability.
Common Areas of Focus
- Recurring conflict and communication breakdown
- Emotional distance or disconnection
- Rebuilding trust after betrayal
- Navigating life transitions and stress
- Strengthening intimacy and partnership
Sessions are tailored to your needs, with options for extended sessions to allow for deeper and more focused work.
Please inquire about current availability for couples counselling.

Areas of Speciality
Addictions Therapy
First Responders and Veterans
Trauma and EMDR Therapy
Addiction can feel isolating and overwhelming — as though control has quietly slipped away. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating substance use and behavioural addictions, offering practical strategies and compassionate support for sustainable recovery.
Addictive behaviours are rarely the whole story. Trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship stress often sit beneath the surface. Together, we address not only the addiction itself, but the underlying patterns and emotional drivers that keep it in place.
Recovery is not simply about stopping a behaviour — it’s about rebuilding stability, connection, and self-trust. I provide structured, evidence-based treatment tailored to your goals, whether you are beginning recovery or strengthening long-term change.
Trauma and EMDR Therapy
First Responders and Veterans
Trauma and EMDR Therapy
Trauma can leave a lasting imprint on how you think, feel, and relate to others. You may notice intrusive memories, heightened anxiety, emotional reactivity, or patterns that feel difficult to shift. Healing is possible — and it does not require reliving the past in overwhelming ways.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is one effective, evidence-based method I use to help process traumatic experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity. EMDR supports the brain in integrating unresolved memories, allowing distressing events to feel like something that happened — not something that is still happening.
At the same time, trauma work is never one-size-fits-all. I draw from multiple therapeutic approaches, tailoring treatment to your nervous system, your history, and your readiness. Our work may include cognitive strategies, attachment-focused exploration, somatic awareness, and skills for regulation and stabilization.
The goal is not simply symptom relief, but deeper integration, resilience, and a restored sense of balance and control.
First Responders and Veterans
First Responders and Veterans
Anxiety and Depression Treatment
First responders and veterans face unique operational stressors that can affect mental health, relationships, and daily functioning. Exposure to trauma, cumulative stress, and high-responsibility environments may contribute to anxiety, sleep disruption, hypervigilance, irritability, or difficulty transitioning between work and home life.
I provide a grounded, respectful space where you can speak openly without judgment. Our work focuses on trauma processing, nervous system regulation, and restoring stability while acknowledging the realities of your professional culture.
I am experienced in working with Veterans Affairs Canada and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Medical Services and am familiar with their documentation and reporting requirements. I aim to make the administrative process clear and manageable, reducing additional stress while maintaining clinical professionalism.
Treatment is structured, practical, and tailored to strengthen resilience, improve day-to-day functioning, and support long-term well-being.
Anxiety and Depression Treatment
Anxiety and Depression Treatment
Anxiety and Depression Treatment
Anxiety and depression can affect how you think, feel, and engage with daily life. You may experience persistent worry, low motivation, irritability, disrupted sleep, or a sense of disconnection from yourself or others. These patterns can feel discouraging — but they are treatable.
Our work focuses on understanding the underlying drivers of your symptoms while building practical strategies to restore balance. This may include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, strengthening emotional regulation, improving behavioural activation, and developing skills to manage stress more effectively.
Therapy is both reflective and action-oriented. Together, we clarify what is contributing to your distress and create a structured plan for meaningful change. The goal is not simply to cope, but to increase resilience, confidence, and a renewed sense of direction.
Relationships and Communication
Anxiety and Depression Treatment
Relationships and Communication
Relationships can become strained when patterns of miscommunication, unresolved conflict, or emotional distance take hold. Whether you are navigating recurring arguments, trust concerns, or feeling disconnected from your partner, change is possible with the right structure and support.
I work with couples and individuals to identify relational patterns, strengthen
communication skills, and rebuild emotional safety. Our work focuses on understanding attachment dynamics, increasing accountability, and developing practical tools for resolving conflict without escalation.
This is not about assigning blame. It is about increasing clarity, responsibility, and connection. Together, we create space for more effective dialogue, healthier boundaries, and a more secure, fulfilling relationship dynamic.
Life Adjustments
Anxiety and Depression Treatment
Relationships and Communication
Life transitions can disrupt routines, relationships, and a sense of stability. Whether you are navigating divorce, career change, relocation, health challenges, parenting shifts, or other significant changes, it is common to feel uncertain or unsettled during these periods.
Therapy provides space to process the emotional impact of change while developing practical strategies to move forward with clarity. Our work may focus on decision-making, boundary setting, stress management, and rebuilding confidence in new circumstances.
Change often brings both loss and opportunity. Together, we work to strengthen resilience, clarify priorities, and support thoughtful, intentional adjustment. The goal is not simply to “get through” a transition, but to move through it with greater stability and self-awareness.
