As a therapist, I've witnessed the transformative power of psychotherapy firsthand. Beyond offering a safe and confidential space, therapy provides individuals with invaluable tools for self-discovery and personal growth. Through introspection and dialogue, clients gain insight into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, empowering them to navigate life's challenges with greater clarity and resilience. Psychotherapy fosters a deeper understanding of oneself and others, leading to healthier relationships and improved communication skills. The journey of psychotherapy is empowerment, self-compassion, and lasting change, guiding clients toward a more fulfilling and authentic life.

I facilitate powerful, measurable, client-centred results, quickly. As a seasoned Registered Psychotherapist I bring strong therapy skills, an extensive knowledge base and many years of experience to serve you. I have a broad pallet of modalities that I use including Hypnosis Cognitive Behaviour (CBT) and Narrative Therapies, and alternative approaches.

My primary approach to working with clients is Relational Psychotherapy. "Relational therapists help clients understand, on the one hand, their own patterns of thoughts and feelings about themselves, and on the other hand, the power of significant relationships, past and present, to shape this self-experience. Relational therapy strengthens and transforms a client's sense of self, which in turn enhances his or her confidence and well-being in the world." In other words, as a relational psychotherapist, I will be with you as you explore your life, your sense of self, and your relationships with others.
