Find a Therapist in Trenton, Ontario.

As an eclectic therapist I offer assistance that supports learning of new ways of thinking that gets reinforced through experimental behaviour that is rich in meaning to clients. This cognitive behavioural therapy is woven within a humanistic, culturally sensitive frame. Some of the learning includes sharing simple techniques that can gently and safely regulate emotions and the inhibit the sympathetic nervous system to reduce overwhelm and dial down anxiety. With self-applied acupressure, sensory integration techniques, hypnosis and powerful EMDR interventions, many clients are better able to cope with their lives and begin to imagine and go on to build a fulfilling future.

Sometimes we might feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to manage distressing feelings and emotions. Psychotherapy can provide a safe space to learn more about yourself and some of the difficulties you are facing and find ways to better manage and cope with these challenges. In your work with me, I hope to foster a therapeutic relationship that allows you to feel validated and supported to work through and heal from life's difficulties and create lasting and meaningful change.

My approach to psychotherapy integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, and Somatic Experiencing to develop a deep connection between mind and body. I emphasize the importance of tuning into how the body experiences emotions and life events, recognizing that bodily sensations are key indicators of our emotional states. By addressing and accepting these emotions, people can open new pathways for handling life’s challenges. This method encourages not just coping, but thriving through a holistic understanding and acceptance of one’s feelings, leading to innovative solutions and healthier approaches to life's difficulties.
