Therapy

In my therapy practice, I work with adults, couples, and families. I draw on my expertise in a variety of clinical modalities, including Internal Family Systems (IFS) Family Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and self-compassion, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), The Developmental Model, and Psychobiological Attachment Couple Therapy (PACT) and energetic release techniques. Working with you collaboratively. we select strategies to tailor a unique treatment plan that will help you learn and grow.. My services are covered by most extended health insurance plans.

Individuals

Counselling is a unique space where you can focus intently, and exclusively on yourself and your life experiences, in order to chart a direction for moving forward. My role as a therapist is to be your conversational guide in helping you to become more aware of what you already know about yourself and the ways in which you are trying to move your life in a positive direction.

As I have navigated many stages of a woman’s life, student, young therapist, mid and later career, mom, wife and Nana, I enjoy working with womens’ issues. My caregiving experiences have led to overload and burnout, such a common phenomenon for women in mid-life. From lived experience, I encourage women in my practice to carve out time for themselves to enjoy the things that light them up. We need to challenge outdated stereotypes of the smiling woman who does it all. As my career evolves, I focus on healthy aging, emancipating from roles that no longer serve us, and creating a vibrant lifestyle that supports us. I meet with many women (and men) later in life who are coping with the hard stuff: grief, loss, legacy, illness and what to do about the tensions in family.

Couples

In my therapy with couples, I work within two models. I combine the Developmental Model from The Couples Institute and PACT, Psychobiological Attachment and Couple Therapy,

Family

After many years of working with parents of children and adolescents, my work now focuses on assisting parents to navigate concerns with their adult children.
