People often seek out therapy to alleviate suffering, but in addition to this, there tends to be something that is preventing them from living the kind of life they want or being the type of person they want to be.

Psychotherapy is primarily a talk-based therapy and is intended to help you improve and maintain positive mental health and well-being. I work with individuals, couples and families in individual and group settings. Psychotherapy occurs when the Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and client enter into a psychotherapeutic relationship where both work together to bring about positive change in the client’s thinking, feeling, behaviour and social functioning. Individuals usually seek psychotherapy when they have thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviours that are adversely affecting their day-to-day lives, relationships and the ability to enjoy life.

It is possible to overcome feelings of fear, grief, loss or limitations of trauma to cultivate a more joyful, confident, and relaxed version of you!

Psychotherapy has been with humankind since our origins. However, about a century ago, psychologists tried to systematize and formalize psychotherapeutic interventions and, depending on their worldview and perspectives on human nature, they created various approaches that currently exceed 400, which can be confusing and misleading. A successful psychotherapy, regardless of the lenses and title, should acknowledge that every person has a unique mind and, as a result, a unique mental world. The therapist’s job is to help the client explore this world in a supportive environment. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

I utilize an eclectic and collaborative approach to psychotherapy with my clients, drawing from evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and narrative therapy. Additionally, I believe strongly in harnessing your own inner strengths and motivations to build sustainable change. One of the primary benefits of psychotherapy, in my opinion, is that it should be a conversation like no other you've had before, creating a non-judgmental space where you can be truly open.

My psychotherapy approach is very individualized and considers each client as unique. I aim to cultivate a non-judgemental and respectful collaborative relationship. I emphasize client strengths and goal setting to ensure the therapy is useful and approaching whatever goals clients are aiming for. Benefits of this psychotherapy approach include experiencing a sense of lightness in daily living, feeling equipped to cope with life's challenges, feeling confident and empowered, and having an overall sense of wellness.
