My Approach to Helping

Let me pour your a warm cup of coffee or tea while we sit and talk. Therapy doesn't have to be scary, uncomfortable or daunting. Life is hard enough, counselling and therapy doesn't have to be. I'm here to help support you in finding solutions to your struggles, while finding calm and peace in the process. Life is far too short and much too precious to have the effects of past traumas, prolonged grief, relationship conflicts or anxiety take over. We aren't meant to surrender to controlling, unfulfilling, unloving or conflict-ridden relationships or constantly feel like we are walking on eggshells trying to avoid another argument. Our relationships with our partner, family, parents or friends don't have to leave us doubting ourselves and consume our daily thoughts trying to find ways to effectively stop the conflict. We just want to be loved and accepted for who we are. If you have experienced the loss of someone or something dear to you and you are looking for support to help work through the many difficult and complex emotions and feelings that come with your loss, I encourage you to reach out, so you don't have to go through this journey alone.
I invite life, comfort, warmth & realness to our sessions, so you won't find a cold, sterile or uncomfortable office space here. We will navigate your experiences and life struggles together & work towards understanding where to go from here.

I have in person and online session times available during the day, evening, and on weekends and I have 247 online scheduling, so you can more easily book a session when it's convenient for you. I also offer a free consultation phone or video call to help answer any questions you may have and give you more information on what session with me might look like.

The Duration and Frequency of Therapy

This is a very common, but really great question. The answer depends on many factors. What you are wanting to work on, your goals, and your financial resources.
Typically though, someone's counselling journey lasts anywhere from a few sessions to many years, but more commonly it a few months.
When first starting out in counselling, to help keep momentum, typically people will schedule weekly or once every 2 weeks. As they progress, they might feel more comfortable in having sessions once a month or even once every 2-3 months, more as a check in to ensure they are keeping on the right path in their healing and ensuring they are staying accountable to themselves and the change they are wanting to make. But everyone's counselling experience looks different, and that's perfectly ok.
