Psychotherapy services for
individuals, couples, colleagues, relatives, co-parents, and friends.
Psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and people in relationships.
Virtual therapy and in-person therapy.
Briar Psychotherapy is founded on the philosophy that therapeutic progress is built collaboratively. My priority is to build a therapeutic relationship founded on respect, non-judgement, empathy, trust, and a shared willingness to confront life’s complexity with honesty, levity, and vulnerability.
Therapeutic Approach
Individual Therapy

Couples Therapy (i.e., Marriage Counselling)
Couples therapy is done in-person or virtually, and frequency of care is determined collaboratively based on the goals of the couple. ‘Couple’, in this context, refers to any romantic relationship and does not exclude partnerships of more than two partners. Couples therapy is done with the express consent of all participating parties, and can include focuses such as: communication skills, emotional regulation, fertility, conflict, trauma, infidelity, sexuality, parenting, intimacy, future planning, finances, faith, mixed family dynamics, boundaries, interfamilial issues, LGBTQIA+ issues, etc.,

Relationship Therapy
The tenants of couples therapy and marriage counselling are applicable to all of the important relationships in our lives. Relationship therapy is ‘couples therapy’ for the other relationships in our lives, and it can be used to help improve relationships between colleagues, business partners, friends, relatives, and people who may benefit from therapeutic guidance in coming together. Relationship therapy is done in-person or virtually, and frequency of care is determined collaboratively based on the goals of both participating parties. Relationship therapy is done with the express consent of both participating parties, and can include focuses such as: communication skills, emotional regulation, conflict, trauma, reconciliation, boundaries, professional expectations, intimacy, trust, the re-establishment of patterns for honest and open communication, vulnerability, etc.,

Family Therapy
Family therapy is done in-person and is designed to be a short-term care approach. Family therapy begins with a consultation to determine the appropriate number of sessions to address the presenting concerns. This structure helps to ensure that all members can consent to a specific commitment before engaging in family therapy. Family therapy can include focuses such as: communication skills, dynamic shifting, pattern adjustment, emotional regulation, boundary setting, etc.
50 mins | $170-190
