If you’ve been thinking about therapy for a long time and are finally ready, or if you’ve tried several therapists before and don’t feel that much got resolved or clarified, then I may be the therapist for you.  If you’re looking to make steady progress, and take a series of “baby steps” that aren’t terrifying or hard to adapt to, then you and I are probably a good fit.

One might describe my approach as mellow.  Your daily life – work, family, etc. – already takes enough of a toll, and the last thing you need is another drain on your energy.  Learning about yourself doesn’t need to feel like a cliffhanger, and change doesn’t need to involve chaos.  

I saw the importance of this in the healthcare field, before I became a therapist.  As a psychotherapist in private practice, I am focused on mental well-being for women and men, postpartum issues, couples, families, sleep challenges, and grief and bereavement. I am also part of a consultation group on gender, identity and sexuality.

Early learning throughout our childhood can greatly affect how we manage later in life.  It shapes how we see ourselves, how we see others, and how we view the world and the choices we make. But exactly how long-ago events shaped YOU is not always so obvious. It is only by telling your story that we can figure it out.  I work from a person-centred approach and incorporate narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, CBT-I, mindfulness and brief solution focused therapy. Telling our stories of grief, pain, love and triumph can release the grip they may have on us, or build us up as we deserve.

You are the author of your present and future stories. Through our sessions, we can work together to discover your stories, make previous chapters a little easier to read, and make your next chapters your best yet.
