Therapy
In my therapy practice, I work with adults, couples, and families. I draw on my expertise in a variety of clinical modalities, including Family Therapy and Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and self-compassion, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), The Developmental Model, Psychobiological Attachment Couple Therapy (PACT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. I select stratgies to tailor a unique treatment plan and learning experience for every person I meet with. My services are covered by most extended health insurance plans.

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

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 We need to challenge outdated stereotypes of the smiling womn who does it all:
Family
My work with families now focuses on assisting parents to navigate concerns with their neurodiverse sons and daughters.
