Compassionate, evidence-informed counselling for individuals, couples, and families navigating relationships, life transitions, and emotional well-being.
A strong therapeutic relationship is an important part of the counselling process. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity rather than judgment.
I work to create a respectful and supportive space where clients can speak openly, better understand their experiences and relationship patterns, and explore what matters most to them.
Whether I’m working with an individual, couple, or family, I pay close attention not only to the problem that brings you to counselling, but also to the emotions, attachment needs, patterns, and experiences underneath it.

I believe good therapy requires more than knowledge of theories and techniques. It also requires curiosity, compassion, honesty, and an understanding that relationships and life rarely fit neatly into a textbook.
As a Registered Marriage & Family Therapist (RMFT), my training is grounded in understanding people within the context of their relationships, families, experiences, and the patterns that develop between them.
I also bring the perspective that comes with lived experience. Like most people, I have experienced relationships, parenting, career changes, loss, uncertainty, and unexpected turns in life. I don’t assume that my experiences are the same as yours. Instead, they remind me to approach each person and relationship with openness, respect, and curiosity.
My style is warm, collaborative, and straightforward. I want clients to feel able to talk about the complicated parts of relationships and life without being reduced to a diagnosis or told what they “should” do.
Whether you’re trying to repair a relationship, understand a recurring pattern, navigate betrayal or loss, make a difficult decision, or better understand yourself, our work begins with understanding what is happening for you ; and what matters to you.

At Yellowfinch, I recognize that every individual, couple, and family brings a different history, set of strengths, challenges, relationships, and goals to therapy. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.
My work is collaborative and individualized. Together, we explore what is happening, the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, what matters most to you, and the changes or decisions you would like to work toward.
Therapy also doesn’t have to end when the session does. Depending on your goals and learning style, I may provide personalized exercises, articles, reflection questions, relationship tools, or other resources to support the work you’re doing between sessions.
Yellowfinch isn’t a large online therapy platform or a clinic with hundreds of therapists. It is a small, relationship-focused practice built around thoughtful, individualized care.
That means taking the time to understand the person or relationship in front of me rather than applying the same approach to everyone.
Whether you’re navigating relationship conflict, betrayal, disconnection, separation, grief, a major life transition, or trying to better understand yourself and your relationship patterns, therapy can provide a place to explore what’s happening and consider what comes next.
