I’ve been taught by some amazing therapists and use a systemic lens and attachment theory to guide my work. Both partners are part of the solution. I am interested in the role of family of origin and past experiences in our relationships, and will give you evidence-based strategies to help you get back to connection and intimacy. I have completed extensive training in Emotionally-Focused Therapy for couples, the most evidence-based couples therapy; however, my approach is eclectic and must be adapted for the couple.

I work warmly and sensitively, so that I understand each family member’s concerns clearly. I will also take direction in sessions, so that everyone feels heard. You will come to understand the patterns of conflict or behaviour that get you ‘stuck’, and learn strategies to change these patterns, and to communicate with more calm and empathy. I do family therapy with adult family systems only.

Empathy is the cornerstone of my work with you, and seeking to understand, so that you gain insight about your concerns. I will use a variety of therapeutic interventions including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and approaches from Schema Therapy. I am flexible in my use of these modalities, and we explore together what treatment best fits you.
