Are you or someone you know experiencing: behaviours, addictions or other challenges that are interfering in your daily life and relationships?

If so, it is definitely time to talk to someone.

Whatever brings you or someone you care about to therapy; I invite you to contact me.

I am a social worker practicing psychotherapy in Fergus, ON with individuals age 16+ and couples. I will work with you to heal hurts, change unwanted behaviours, build healthy coping skills, improve relationships, self-confidence and self-efficacy. We will address the issues in your life that leave you feeling stuck, unworthy, lacking control and lost by combining strategies and tools from various models of therapy that engage your rational brain, emotional brain and your body through movement.
