Thinking you need some help?
I specialize in Couples Counselling (Gottman and EFT), Family Counselling, and Individual Counselling Therapy. I’m comfortable discussing sex, love, loss, illness, and work regularly with LGBTQ2S folks, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus and Buddhist; people with disabilities, cancer, ALS, dementia, and learning and wiring differences.
I am honoured to work with clients’ concerns. I will listen to understand, follow when needed, lead when that is helpful. Clients say that my office feels like a warm place of calm and safety. They tell me that they feel listened to and heard.
We all grapple with issues from time to time. Sometimes we can talk it out with a trusted partner, friend or family member. But sometimes, we need someone else who will listen without an agenda, without judging, who will really “get us” and help us to hear our own voice to figure out what to do. A trained helper who will keep our confidence. I would like to be that helper for you.
“Ros connected to the artist in me, made it possible for my partner and I to leap into our best future. We were dying inside, each in our own way, the way we were going before. She helped save our marriage.”
“My wife of 40 years and I were ready to call it quits. Now I see the role early trauma was playing in our relationship. I can be vulnerable, and my wife is supporting me growing into the person I was afraid I never could be. I never knew how powerful these feelings could be.”
“I used to be terribly afraid of conflict, and couldn’t figure out why people found me distant. I am so proud of my changes. I can raise concerns, ask for what I need, and can be at peace even when others let me down. Wow.”
“My husband died of cancer last year, just as we were preparing to retire. Ros listened. I grieved, then stepped into my “(Me) 2.0”. I am ready for the future, even though it’s been hard.”
“The conflicts between my partner and me used to blow up so quickly. Now I have connected mind with body, and learned tools to manage myself. My partner wasn’t open to this kind of growth, though I really tried. I now at least understand our choices. I am ready for what’s next.”
