Provider information
Description
I offer individual, couples, and family therapy at Valley Connections Counselling virtually and at our office in Burlington. My areas of specialization centre around relationships. I believe that we are wounded in relationship, and that to grow and heal, this is often most effectively done within a relationship as well. I work primarily with women’s issues, including support for the perinatal period and/or traumatic birth experiences, eating disorders, and anxiety. I am also trained in three models of couples therapy, and much of my client work is with couples.
