Areas of Practice

I support adults who want to bridge gaps with their parent(s) or a grown child. These relationships often carry a long history, and I pay attention to how old patterns can quietly shape present-day reactions, even when people have tried to move on.

 Through a family systems lens, we'll explore relationship patterns and dynamics without judgement or blame. EFFT gives us practical skills and tools to improve connection, repair relationships, and set loving boundaries. 

 Sometimes your parent or adult child is unwilling or unable to join you in your relationship change effort. Or maybe you don't want them there. I can still help.

When one part of a family system changes, the rest of the system has to change around it. One degree of difference in your relationship can drastically change the trajectory. You and I can do a deep dive in to how your relationship developed, how the dynamic works today, and what you can do differently. We can't control what the other person or people do, think, say, believe, or feel - but we can control how you show up. 

Being a mental health professional shouldn't cost you your own wellbeing. I have over a decade of experience as a non-profit employee and helping profession student. When I needed the most counselling support, I often found myself with limited access due to financial circumstances. That's why I offer discounted rates for anyone working in non-profit organizations, especially in helping professions -and  child and youth care, social work, and counselling students.
