Psychotherapy is the process of discussing issues in a safe space with a trained and licensed professional who, using ethical and effective methods, can assist clients in understanding their thoughts, emotions and behaviours. As a Registered Psychotherapist, with a specialization in abuse and trauma, I am accustomed to hearing and expressing empathy regarding very difficult situations. If there are words you have never felt safe to speak outloud or stories you need to tell about your past and how it has influenced your present, I will listen without judgement. Working together we can determine how you may progress toward meaningful change.

I customize my interventions to the needs, preferences and directions of my clients to provide a comfortable, sensitive, empowering and effective experience. I work with a wide range of issues and am especially adept at working with trauma/PTSD, panic attacks, anxiety, phobias, depression, life transition issues and Physical Health issues. 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.

Therapy can provide a safe emotional space in which your experiences can be explored with the support of a therapist. Throughout my work with clients, I bring an authentic, compassionate, and curious presence and strive to help clients access their own inherent wisdom, strength, and resilience.

I embrace uniqueness and everyone's experiences ARE unique, they're ours. I approach each client with uniqueness and authenticity. I like to apply psychodynamic counselling and empowerment strategies to aid in better understanding our experiences and feelings while striving to build our voices and assert ourselves in the present and the future.

I use several research-based theories for individual counseling CBT, DBT & ACT. These theories provide practical skills that can help you gain a better understanding of yourself. By reframing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we can reduce emotional suffering. In my work as a mental health nurse, I have had the privilege of working with many people struggling with difficult situations and trauma. My approach is to be present, empathetic, and to understand the clients’ prospective. Relationships take hard work and commitment. Giving each person a place to voice their side of the story and be heard by their partner can often iron out the wrinkles in a relationship & help couples reconnect.

Psychotherapy is the essence of my practice. Using the modalities of psychotherapy, I aim to help individuals, families and couples live a more content life, making changes to their lives that help them live more content and productive lives. Psychotherapy can help you understand yourself, your behaviour, and your relationships better, enabling you to live your life aware of your strengths, blindspots and goals and how to achieve them.
