If you choose to enter therapy, this is a place where you will be able to share and grow in a space that is caring, non-judgmental, supportive, safe and compassionate. You will benefit from building a strong relationship with the therapist by carrying over the skills you learn in this relationship into your other relationships, outside of therapy. You will be able to examine what is working and what is not working about your life, and what you want to change. You choose what is discussed. I am interested to understand your experiences, thoughts, and feelings and to help you feel more empowered, by guiding you to find new choices. We can work on childhood issues, if you wish.

Do you have a junk drawer in your home? I like to think of therapy like emptying out and organizing your junk drawer. Trauma and stress disorganizes our brain. Memories and experiences are scrambled and coping skills are hidden. Therapy lets us empty out those drawers, put them in order, throw out the things we no longer need, and find the things we’ve been searching for.

Psychotherapy provides us with an opportunity to use an integrative approach to gain insight into your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and interactions.

I primarily use Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to support individuals, couples and families to get the supportive relationships they need to be safe, secure and grow in life. EFT is designed to provide opportunities to express vulnerable emotions to loved ones so that one can be clearly understood and valued by the most important people in your life. Even in individual therapy, there are powerful techniques used to safely access unacknowledged (often painful) emotions in connection to oneself and others. EFT is based on our knowledge of the importance of close bonds with others and has over 20 years of research that verifies its success. Call me for a confidential consult.

Psychotherapy and/or counselling is seen as forming a relationship between a client(s) and therapist, to enhance and promote well-being and mental health of individuals, couples, or families. Counselling can be helpful for you if you are experiencing distress and difficulties associated with life events and transitions, decision-making, work or education, family and social relationships, and/or pre-existing mental health concerns. The client is the most important factor in this process of change and growth, while we work on current skills and strengths and implement new ones as well. Psychotherapy can be helpful to receive a diagnosis, assessment, and better understanding of your well being.

My psychotherapy approach is very individualized and considers each client as unique. I aim to cultivate a non-judgemental and respectful collaborative relationship.

I offer a safe space for clients to reach their full potential through a therapeutic relationship that is based on the clients goals.

Psychotherapy is ideally a safe place for clients to begin unpacking their issues to begin looking forward towards their best hopes. While it can certainly be challenging and intimidating, my goal is to help clients embrace the discomfort in exploring these tough issues to ideally imagine a better future to ultimately pursue. While my practice can center around resolution of goals, I also believe some people just need a trained clinician to talk to in a less goal-oriented formal matter.

I’ve been helping people lead more intentional lives for over 20 years. Psychotherapy supports you in reaching self-awareness. No matter what the circumstance, you have the ability to be resilient.

In life, we go through experiences that are very hard to talk about. We may not fully understand what happened to us or how to deal with it, or even express it. Therapy is a place to sort it out. It’s a space to increase understanding and grow skills and strength. It’s also an opportunity to make a connection to another human being and, through it, begin healing from the wounds that life has given us. I would like to be here for you on this inner journey and support you as you recover. I have dedicated my life to my own journey and helping others as well over the past 16 years. I encourage you to reach out and unburden yourself by sharing your story with someone who understands.

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.

A psychotherapy process helps you find emotional support and new insight for your issues, for those bumps in the road that often crop up. Having an empathic, warm, respectful person who points out your blind spots and who listens to you can help you deal –and make sense—of the pressures and challenges you face. I use a blend of Client Centered Counselling, Gestalt Therapy and Family Constellations with cutting edge Energy Psychology Methods –especially EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)—tools to achieve freedom from anxiety, trauma, stress, breakup, grief, abandonment, anger, depression, diagnosis shock and feel calmer, breathe more easily and gain rapid symptom relief.

As a psychotherapist I use a person-centered approach to helping clients disentangle their thoughts, feelings and behaviours while setting a course toward using these three to move forward in a helpful, more fulfilling way. I make it my goal and empower clients to understand their inner and outer life and story in connection with others, so that they come to feel more confident and secure in their choices; choices that will bring more hope.

In my practice, I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment in which my clients can work toward their goals. I employ evidence-based methods, meaning that I integrate current research findings with my clinical expertise to determine the most effective course of therapy. While my theoretical orientation is largely cognitive-behavioral (CBT), I also draw on solution-focused, experiential, and humanistic approaches.

In addition to finding relief from symptoms such as anxiety and depression, I believe it is also necessary to look at the source of those symptoms. Not doing so would be akin to treating a physical ailment without looking for the cause. It is from this deeper work that lasting change and growth can come. As a depth-oriented psychotherapist, I work with people to gain insight, find meaning in their lives, and find more effective ways of being and relating to others. It is through this process that change, growth, and wholeness result. We all want happier, more fulfilling lives. I will help you work toward your goals.
