I provide counselling therapy primarily to individual adults looking to work one-on-one through talk therapy.
The title ‘talk therapy’ is really just another way of saying, we will meet either online via video or in person and talk about what’s going on with you.
Together in a supportive, compassionate and confidential environment we will collaborate to help you develop the clarity, insight, and skills to overcome whatever has brought you in to counselling.
The way in which I approach our work together depends on many things, a few aspects that help me determine how to construct our therapeutic path include; what challenge brought you in for therapy, what has helped you through difficult times in the past, as well as how your worldview guides the ways you think, feel, and behave.

Some concerns addressed in therapy include, but are not limited to:
Life Transitions
Adjusting to parenthood, divorce/breakups/separation, change of career/job, gender transitioning, starting or finishing university or a new job, relocation, retirement, identity shifts, changes in social groups/friend relationships.
Grief and Loss
Death of a loved one person or pet, miscarriage, fertility concerns, loss of career, loss of potential, loss of relationship.
Goal Setting
Identifying something you want to accomplish and are willing to commit to achieving. In session we will work through how to identify and create a realistic goal, as well as, deciphering the appropriate steps it will take to complete the goal. We will identify the successful steps you are taking and build on them to accomplish the end goal.
Communication skills
Feeling heard, understood, and able to express oneself, as well as learning how to empathize, listen, and hear those we care about. We can also work on asserting yourself through finding your voice and using it to express your authentic self.
Self-worth/esteem
Exploring where a lack of self-worth was created and seeing what purpose it served at the time may help you to adapt and create new beliefs about yourself while abolishing the inner critique that is no longer serving you well.
Burnout/Exhaustion
Feeling like your emotions are just below the surface and are ready to erupt if one more thing comes up. Noticing yourself having a short fuse in situations where you normally would not. Other indicators of burnout include: anger, insomnia, detachment, fatigue, isolation, forgetfulness, and many more that often go overlooked.
