Often times people have expectations with the goal of getting rid of or eliminating symptoms in regards to their mental health. However, you can have far more success when you work toward accepting and managing your symptoms as opposed to trying to get rid of them. In doing so you decrease your negative reactivity and emotional responses and are better able to manage your mental health.

Psychotherapy includes a more long-term exploration into one's inner functioning, in order to make lasting change. While doing psychotherapy, I assist my clients to look into their inner life, which often includes looking back at family of origin issues or past relationships to learn how one has become who they are today, and then identifying areas where they would like to see change. We then work to shift these patterns of being to create a more fulfilling, peaceful life, with healthier choices.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

Patterns of self-sabotaging behavioural, disorganized thinking and overwhelming emotion make life very difficult. How can we move forward when our bodies seem to betray us and we just need a break from the buzzing anxiety or the numbing of depression? What you may not know is all these symptoms are the imprint of our unfinished business, stuck in the body and just begging to be seen, cared for and accepted. Working with me means looking with curiosity, compassion and an educated-eye at how old wounds of betrayal, abandonment and rejection show up to block living your best life. You are not alone and there is hope.

I employ an integrative counselling approach, drawing from my diverse background and skills to create a therapeutic experience tailored to your needs and counselling goals.  My primary therapeutic approach revolves around the following cognitive therapies: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) and Narrative Therapy. Looking at the relationship between your thoughts, feelings and behaviours helps you view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more helpful ways.

Talking it out, is one of the best ways in which we as humans are able to process information that is overwhelming us or making life stressful. When we can sit down and speak to a neutral and non-judgement person we can begin to sort things out for ourselves; making life simple instead of complicated. I am here to help you sort out your thoughts and feelings which will help change your perspective and ultimately; your circumstances.

Sometimes the angst we feel doesn’t have a definable problem, we just know that life feels off, and long for it to feel better. Through talking with a therapist insights into yourself, and compassion for your pain emerges. Through this process you learn to see your past and yourself differently and a new way of being in the world emerges. Old unhelpful ways of living erode and are replaced with healthier more hopeful perspectives.

Psychotherapy is a fancy work that simply means we are going to examine your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to help you figure out how to do things differently in life. We are going to look most closely at the areas that are being the hardest to manage. For many people, this can show up in negative thoughts or intense feelings or concerning behaviours. We will address these areas to help you move towards the transformation that you seek.

My approach to working with clients is a collaborative, client-centered approach. I use an EMDR therapy model which is an integrative approach to psychotherapy. This model addresses our mental, emotional, and physical experience. It is more widely accepted and understood that our mental health is interconnected with our physical health. It is important that we take a holistic approach to healing in order to be able to truly move forward and feel renewed and empowered. Within a safe and supportive environment, I will support you in a healing process that fits with your life experience and worldview.

Psychotherapy with me is active, respectful, and grounded in practical outcomes. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are navigating anxiety, disconnection, emotional tension, or stuck relational dynamics. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or unsure what’s wrong, we’ll identify the patterns behind it and build a path forward. My approach combines reflection with structure—so therapy isn’t just a place to talk, but a space to shift. Sessions are tailored to your goals, your pace, and the kind of clarity you're ready to create.

Psychotherapy is an incredible opportunity to focus on you! In therapy I work collaboratively with each client to create and improve the treatment plan that is right for them.

This is the deep value of Psychotherapy! To enter into a helping relationship, free from judgment, with the opportunity to overcome life's challenges and to thrive!

In my work, I often draw from Jungian psychotherapy and Sandplay Therapy to support deeper healing and self-discovery. Rooted in the belief that the psyche naturally moves toward wholeness, Jungian approaches invite clients to explore the symbols, images, and unconscious patterns that shape their inner world. Through Sandplay—a gentle, nonverbal form of expression using miniature figures and a tray of sand—clients can safely give form to experiences and emotions that may be difficult to articulate. This process helps the unconscious communicate symbolically, allowing for insight, integration, and transformation. Whether with children, teens, or adults, Sandplay offers a contained, sacred spa

Psychotherapy usually means longer more in depth treatment of issues. There is a an understanding that there is value in seeing a therapist on a regular basis as it give time for trust to develop and also allows the client the time to explore more deeply. It is also a recognition that somethings take longer to treat. One can meet weekly or bi-weekly or however frequently is appropriate. The practice of psychotherapy takes more skill and experience and usually means the therapist has had their own psychotherapy.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

Rather than diagnose-treat-cure, my model is connect-interact-become. It's a personal growth model. The willingnesss to permit a professional to facilitate your personal growth is not a disease; it's an accomplishment.

What Is Accelerated Resolution Therapy? Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a relatively new form of therapy with roots in existing evidence-based therapies but shown to achieve benefits much more rapidly (usually within 3-5 sessions). ART is a combination of bilateral stimulation, prolonged exposure and visualizations. ART looks at processing negative psychological symptoms within the body and the brain. ART has shown to offer improvements to clients’ symptoms within 1 or 2 sessions. While initially a trauma therapy, ART appears to be beneficial for several psychological concerns. More detailed information on this approach can be found here.
