How I work

I use an approach that combines research on relationships, research on painful life experiences and their effects on the brain, and research on how we attach or bond to people in our lives.

What You Can Expect

1. FREE Initial Phone Consultation:

When you call my office for your FREE 10-minute phone consultation, our Administrator will schedule a time to talk with me at a convenient time for you.  When I call, I will ask you to give a brief outline of what your concerns or problems are. I will talk with you and tell you how I anticipate working with you. From our conversation, you will get a better sense of who I am and I can get a sense if I can be of benefit to you.

If I decide it’s beneficial to work together, I will have the administrator book the initial session. If you have email, we will send you our office policies so you can have plenty of time to review them before your first visit. If you have any questions, you can call prior to your first appointment, or ask me when the session starts.

2. First Session:

I will schedule a 2-hour initial session. I will take a thorough, careful, and detailed look at the areas of your relationship patterns that are causing you concern and identify the outcomes you desire. You will get a clear sense of how we can work together.

During this first session, my clients usually experience fascinating insights about their relationship patterns and many experience some change in their behaviour immediately. My clients also report feeling hopeful about creating a healthier pattern in their relationships after this first session!

Together we will decide a course of action to take in future counselling work and we’ll book additional sessions at that time. I will also provide you with referrals or resources that may assist you further in seeking the outcomes you want.

3. Subsequent Sessions:

Subsequent sessions may vary from 60 minutes to 2 hours depending on what you and I decide would best fit your counselling needs and goals, your budget and your schedule. 

You may schedule your appointments one at a time, or you can book several sessions at once to reserve a time that seems to fit your schedule best and to really make the commitment to staying the course and meeting your goals.

I will work actively with you to reach your relationship goals and help you to become more capable of creating healthy connection and closeness in all your relationships. Most importantly, my aim in therapy is to get you to a level of awareness and to enhance and increase your ability to meet your goals for love and happiness.
