I work from a relational, attachment-based, and family systems framework as a Registered Marriage and Family Therapist (RMFT). My work is grounded in the understanding that emotional distress is shaped by relationships, attachment patterns, nervous system responses, life experiences, and the ways people learn to cope with stress, loss, and connection over time.
I take an integrative, trauma-informed approach, tailoring therapy to each individual, couple, or family using evidence-based and experiential modalities.
Attachment-Based & Emotionally Focused Work (EFT-Informed)
My couples work is strongly influenced by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), including EFT Levels 1, 2, and 3 training. I use attachment-based principles to help couples understand emotional cycles, patterns of disconnection, and unmet attachment needs.
This work supports couples in:
Communication & Relationship Repair Tools

THE GOAL OF THERAPY
The goal is not to apply a single method, but to understand what is needed in the moment—whether that is emotional processing, communication repair, trauma stabilization, cognitive reframing, or relational understanding.
Clients often come to therapy wanting to feel:
You deserve support as you move through this transition. Reach out today to begin your healing journey.
Healing happens through understanding, emotional safety, and new ways of relating to ourselves and others.
I offer in-person therapy in Moncton, N.B. and Halifax, N.S., and virtual counselling across Canada.
