Therapist For Relationships

I help adults and couples who want to have healthy and supportive relationships but instead find themselves feeling misunderstood, unheard, and unhappy. My clients find that issues with romantic partners, family or friends, can be difficult and unfulfilling. They feel lonely and disconnected.

What I Can Help You With

Relationships can be challenging; I understand and can help. Together, we’ll discover your hidden skills, values, and knowledge that will help you to build strong connections. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and others, learn effective communication strategies, and develop the skills to navigate conflict constructively.

My Approach to Therapy

I utilize a blend of evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs. These include narrative therapy to help you understand and build healthy relationships, solution-focused therapy to empower you to identify solutions and achieve your relationship goals, and art therapy to access and process emotions and experiences that may be difficult to express verbally.

My Experience

I am an experienced counsellor with over 15 years of experience in helping people. In the past, I had the privilege of serving as the Clinical Supervisor at New Start Counselling and as a Counsellor at Bridges Institute. I’ve also spoken at numerous national and international conferences and workshops as an expert on Narrative Therapy.

Therapist for Personal Growth

I help teens and adults who want clarity and confidence, but instead feel stuck, uncertain, and lost.

They often feel overwhelmed or held back by the problems they’re facing and unsure how to move forward.

What I Can Help You With

I understand how feeling lost and unsure of what you want can lead to anxiety, depression, burnout, and stress. Together, we’ll figure out who you are, who you want to be, and how to get there. You’ll gain insight on how to navigate life transitions, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with what matters most.
