Individual therapy may be for your if you are struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, fears, trauma, stress, low self-esteem or self-confidence. Individual therapy may also be used for the treatment of various mental health issues and employs a variety of techniques tailored individually in collaboration with you to meet your needs. I am trained in a variety of modalities to support you in reaching your goals.

​Couples counselling is often used to help with effective communication in relationships.

Couples counselling can help to learn and develop curiosity about communication patterns so that connection and intimacy can be restored.

Over time family situations can change through divorce, separation, grief, loss, or specific mental health challenges that result in unique and challenging circumstances. Family therapy can offer a supportive environment for collaborative problem-solving that allows every member of the family to feel safe to express themselves.
I am also specifically trained in family-based therapy and emotional focused family therapy for the treatment of eating disorders.
EFT is a form of Energy Psychology that is based on the ancient Chinese meridian energy system. It is based on the concept that negative emotions are the result of a disruption in the body’s energy system. EFT is used to clear the energy block or disruption by tapping on the end points of the body’s meridian systems. Focusing on a specific issue and tapping on end points of meridians sends pulses of energy to rebalance the system and rewire the brain’s conditioned responses. EFT works to gently release traumatic memories, phobias, and cravings, as well as limiting beliefs and negative thoughts and emotions.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (Emdr).
COST: $200
MUscle testing

EMDR is an evidence-based psychotherapy approach that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences, distressing memories, and difficult life events. Through guided bilateral stimulation, EMDR supports the brain’s natural ability to process experiences that may have become stuck, reducing their emotional impact and helping individuals develop healthier beliefs about themselves.
EMDR can be helpful for those experiencing trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and other emotional challenges. This approach offers an opportunity to move beyond painful experiences and create a greater sense of safety, resilience, and emotional well-being.
Muscle testing is a gentle, non-invasive technique used to explore how the body responds to physical, emotional, and environmental stressors. Through light pressure applied to specific muscles, practitioners assess muscle responses to help guide an individualized approach to supporting well-being.
It is a holistic approach, that considers the interconnectedness of the body's physical, emotional, nutritional, and energetic systems. Sessions may incorporate techniques aimed at promoting balance, relaxation, and greater body awareness.
