Individual Therapy
Are you struggling under the weight of sadness that seems to grow heavier and heavier, no matter what you do? Do you feel as though you are letting others down or living a life devoid of meaning? Perhaps you know what brought on this wave of sadness, but you don’t know how to process the loss of a loved one, the loss of a job, the end of a relationship, recent medical diagnosis, or another sorrow that has altered your sense of self. Or, maybe you have been feeling low for a long time, without knowing why. Does it sometimes seem as though ongoing life challenges are proof that you deserve to be in misery, or that this is just the way life is? Do you wish to find freedom from the dark fog of depression, feel more alive in all aspects of your life, and move forward into a fulfilling, connected future?
Individual counselling is a safe, supportive and therapeutic relationship for you to express your emotions and feel truly heard, understood and accepted. Together, in collaborative and compassionate therapy sessions, we can help you develop mindfulness skills that will help you interrupt the cycle of depressive thoughts keeping you stuck. By cultivating a deeper sense of connection to yourself, and by learning how to bring a sense of self empathy and understanding of your own emotions, you can create a radical shift in your relationship to suffering. It can also help you identify the source of your pain and make positive choices that lead to lasting healing.

Couples Therapy
Relationships nowadays are under tremendous stress, especially if a move or a job change has created intrinsic differences in how you function as a couple. Whether you call it Couples Therapy, Couples Counseling, Relationship Counseling or Marriage Counseling, the aim is to have you and your significant other discuss your feelings, facilitate honest and open communication and delve into all the issues affecting the relationship.
A healthy relationship starts by being able to express yourself to your partner without feeling criticized, blamed or judged. Learning the skills in communicating effectively with your partner is essential and crucial to building a strong relationship foundation. A counsellor can help couples learn how to become active listeners and effective communicators.

Parenting Coach
The truth is having children and understanding how to parent are two totally different things. And, even if you have a good understanding of what it takes to be a good parent, it doesn’t necessarily mean you can avoid the challenges that often accompany it. To be honest, there is no such thing as a “perfect parent.” It’s a myth like a unicorn or dragon.
At the simplest level, parenting counseling, also referred to as parenting therapy, is just “help with your child.” This form of therapy is not only short-term, it can also include all loved ones, you and your spouse, you and your child, or just you. Each treatment plan is specific to the situation. It doesn’t matter if the conflict lies between you and your child, or if it has to do with family trauma, child-related development, physical, or mental health problems; counseling sessions can provide you with the support and resources you need to be the best parent possible.
During parenting counseling, you learn the tools needed to function optimally within your family unit. More specifically, parenting counselors provide you with the guidance and support you need to provide a stable and healthy childhood experience for your child. The truth is, people tend to assume that parenting just comes naturally, when for most it doesn’t..
The truth is there is no shame in seeking parenting counseling. And, if you decide to do so, it doesn’t mean you are a “bad parent.” The decision to work with a parenting counselor just means that you are brave enough to ask for help. In fact, turning to a parenting counselor is the first step in providing your children with stability, while acquiring the support you need to be the best parent you can be. Honestly, one of the best ways to be a “good parent” is to simply love your children unconditionally.
