MY SPECIALTIES
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING
Life’s challenges can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about the path ahead. Individual counseling provides a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. My approach is tailored to your unique needs, blending evidence-based methods like EMDR and Internal Family Systems to address the root causes of your struggles. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, I am here to help you uncover insights, build resilience, and find meaningful ways forward. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-understanding and a life that feels more balanced, authentic, and fulfilling.
DEPRESSION
Depression can feel like a heavy, isolating weight, making it hard to find joy or motivation in daily life. It’s more than just sadness—it’s a complex experience that affects your mind, body, and relationships. In our work together, we’ll go beyond surface-level strategies to explore the underlying patterns and causes contributing to your depression. Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR and Internal Family Systems, we’ll address emotional pain, build coping skills, and help you reconnect with your strengths. You don’t have to face this alone—there is hope, and together we can find a way forward.
COUPLES THERAPY
Relationships can be both deeply rewarding and incredibly challenging. Over time, patterns of miscommunication, unresolved conflicts, or life stressors can create distance between partners. In couples therapy, I provide a safe and neutral space for you and your partner to explore these challenges, rebuild trust, and foster deeper connection. My approach focuses on understanding each partner’s needs and perspectives while addressing underlying dynamics that may be causing tension. Together, we’ll work to improve communication, navigate conflicts constructively, and strengthen your relationship, helping you create a more fulfilling and resilient partnership.
ADDICTION
Addiction is often more than a dependence on substances or behaviors—it’s a way of coping with pain, unmet needs, or overwhelming emotions. I provide a nonjudgmental and compassionate space to explore the underlying causes of addiction, using approaches like EMDR and Internal Family Systems to address trauma and emotional triggers. Together, we’ll develop tools for managing cravings, building resilience, and creating healthier coping mechanisms. Recovery is a journey, and I’m here to support you in finding sustainable ways to heal and thrive.
RELATIONSHIP COUNSELLING
Relationships shape our lives, offering connection, support, and meaning—but they can also bring challenges. Whether you’re navigating conflicts with a partner, family member, friend, or colleague, relationship counseling provides a space to explore and address the dynamics at play. My approach helps uncover the root causes of misunderstandings, improve communication, and build healthier, more fulfilling connections. Using evidence-based methods, I guide clients in developing practical tools and deeper insights to foster trust, empathy, and mutual respect.
STRESS & TRAUMA
Stress and trauma can leave lasting imprints on your body, mind, and emotions, making it difficult to feel safe, grounded, or in control. Whether it’s ongoing stress from daily life or the lingering effects of past trauma, these experiences can affect every aspect of your well-being. In therapy, I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space to explore these challenges at your pace. Using evidence-based methods like EMDR and Internal Family Systems, we’ll address the root causes of your stress or trauma, helping you process unresolved pain and build resilience. Together, we’ll work toward restoring balance, safety, and strength in your life.
PARENTING DIFFICULTIES
Parenting can be one of life’s most rewarding roles, but it also comes with unique challenges. Balancing your child’s needs with your own can feel overwhelming, especially when faced with behavioral struggles, emotional outbursts, or communication barriers. I provide a compassionate space for parents to explore these difficulties, offering practical strategies tailored to your family’s needs. Together, we’ll identify patterns, understand the root causes of challenges, and develop tools to foster connection, structure, and harmony in your home. You don’t have to navigate this alone—support and solutions are within reach.
PTSD
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can feel like a constant loop of fear, flashbacks, or emotional overwhelm, making it hard to move forward after a traumatic experience. It affects how you think, feel, and connect with others, often leaving you stuck in survival mode. In therapy, I provide a safe and supportive space to address PTSD with evidence-based approaches like EMDR and Internal Family Systems. Together, we’ll work to gently process painful memories, reduce triggers, and rebuild a sense of safety and control. Healing from trauma is possible, and I’m here to guide you on this journey toward peace and renewal.
ANGRY OUTBURSTS
Anger is a natural emotion, but when it feels uncontrollable or leads to outbursts, it can strain relationships, impact your well-being, and leave you feeling misunderstood. These outbursts often stem from deeper frustrations, unmet needs, or unresolved emotional pain. In therapy, we’ll work together to understand the triggers and underlying causes of your anger. Using approaches like EMDR and Internal Family Systems, I help clients develop healthier ways to process emotions, build self-awareness, and regain control. Together, we’ll turn anger into a source of insight and growth, helping you respond to challenges with greater calm and clarity.
ANXIETY
Anxiety can feel like a constant state of worry, restlessness, or overwhelm, making it difficult to focus, sleep, or fully engage with life. It’s not just in your mind—anxiety often affects your body and emotions, creating a cycle that feels hard to break. In therapy, we’ll explore the root causes of your anxiety and the patterns that keep it going. Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR and Internal Family Systems, I help clients develop practical tools to manage anxiety while addressing deeper emotional triggers. Together, we’ll work toward reducing its grip on your life, so you can find calm, clarity, and confidence again.
