Therapy Service
Loss, grief, trauma, addiction? Relationship is in crisis? Struggling with your relationships with your partner, family, professionally, or with yourself?
I offer therapy for Individuals, Couples, Parents, and Youth
Individuals
"You are not f*cking broken!"
Exhausted? Addicted? Angry? Feeling broken, unloved, not worthy, alone, misunderstood, or not heard? We all face these from time to time. I get it, I’ve been there myself. I too have felt lost, anxious, and confused. I use my personal experience along with my training, and the love I never had growing up, to help you learn more about yourself and how you are feeling. I can’t do the work for you, but I can help guide you through your own experience. I don’t believe in the “clinical” approach, I believe in providing a space that feels like home should. A safe place where you can really be you, where we can dive deep together and get to the root of the issues you face. Issues you no longer have to face alone.
Couples
"CAUTION-I just might un-couple you!"
Let's get real. Couples therapy is challenging. One of you wants the other to "get with the program", or perhaps One of you is trying to play the "blame game". There is a reason you are in the place you are. Straight up, you are more likely to end up apart than together when we go through this 30-90 day process. The process is simple, we work together as a couple and also separately as individuals. Too many counsellors and therapists allow things to drag on and on. I don't. It's not worth your time or money to "stay stuck". Ultimately you will have to make a decision, but first we will explore what's going on with both of you; together and one to one.
Regardless of whether you stay together or not; you will be ready for a healthy relationship.
Parents
Trigger Warning
Parents, you are the weakest link!
We cannot give our children that which we didn’t receive until we are able to name it, feel it, experience it for ourselves.
This fancy talk means “do your work”...But do you even know what that means? This painful and gruelling process is worth every expense and drain on your energy. It means it is time for you to get out of your own way. The things you want your child or children to do, or behave like, are most likely the things you are missing yourselves. Believe it or not, you are the captain of your own ship (you are the adult after all) and when you change, so will they...in time. Families that heal together are stronger than any other family. What kind of family do you aspire to have?
When was the last time you COOKED a meal together, let alone ate together?
Have you been using natural consequences or unrelated/ineffective punishments?How is it working for you?
Family work is where I educate. This isn’t therapy, it's parent training. We will explore new ways of thinking, believing and even being together as a family.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I come?
That is up to your own discretion. Many clients begin attending services weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly and taper off as they feel confident using the skills they learn in their sessions.
How long are sessions?
Sessions are 50 minutes long. This gives us 10 minutes wiggle room to grab a drink when you come in (I would love you make you a latte, or your favorite tea), and for you to get out those last few tears before we finish up.
Where are sessions located?
Sessions can happen in person (at my home office), or virtually via phone call or zoom. Whatever feels most comfortable and convenient to you.
Are you covered by benefits?
At the moment, most benefits providers do not cover my services. However, it is always worth checking your coverage, as some benefits will cover life coaching.
