Therapy is about the exploration of how we are impacted by our life experiences. It allows us to discover different choices and strategies to resolve the difficulties that keep us stuck. Therapy will provide you with an opportunity to express your concerns in a safe and non-judgmental environment where you will feel heard, and be acknowledged, for who you really are. Together we will discuss what you may want to achieve through the therapy process. With a commitment to therapy, over time you will see change occur. I take an integrative approach to therapy combining psychoanalytic, attachment based and trauma focused therapies.

As a gestalt psychotherapist, who pairs gestalt training with somatic experiencing I can help support you in healing from your trauma. No one in the Niagara Region utilizes the combination of these therapies and applies them to working with couples in crisis. I am sorry to say but popular approaches to healing trauma like CBT will provide only temporary relief at best. If you want to get to the root of your trauma and heal somatic experiencing (SE) is what you need and when supported with the power of relational gestalt therapy you will shift your shit! SE focuses on regulating your nervous system. Gestalt focuses on awareness, contact and authenticity, it will help being relational.

Psychotherapy with me is not about managing symptoms — it is about transformation. This work is for people who are not satisfied with simply adapting to life’s stressors but are ready to evolve. My approach is relational, cognitive-science-informed, and deeply existential. Together, we look beyond strategies and explore how your internal systems — emotional, relational, and cognitive — have been shaped by your history, your relationships, and your experiences. This is not passive work. It is an engaged process of rediscovering the self, reconnecting with vitality, and transforming the systems that create disconnection, burnout, and emotional stagnation.

I embrace a strengths-based philosophy, guided by consistent positive regard for clients and families. Within that context, I utilize an array of clinical practices to best serve clients and families within individual and group formats.

And as a Accredited Music Therapist, I am always ready to incorporate music into the psychotherapy process. I provide a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space to help my clients achieve optimal mental health.

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.
