Psychotherapy is a general term used to describe all forms of mental health ‘talk’ therapy. In my role as a Provisional Psychologist, I strive to meet you where you are at. We will work on your goals, at your speed. At times I will push you to consider different perspectives, I will suggest new techniques and strategies to try, and I will ask for your feedback. All of this is done with the purist of motives. I want you to succeed. I want you to get to a place where you no longer need me. But, the honest truth is that my job is easy. It is you who has to do the hard work. As much as I would love to take some of the burden, I cannot. It is only you who can implement new techniques.

My approach is integrative, person-centred, and grounded in compassion. I believe that therapy is most effective when it’s collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, goals, and values. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and mindfulness-based practices. Together, we’ll explore the patterns, beliefs, and emotions that may be keeping you stuck and work to develop practical tools for change. I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can build self-awareness, strengthen emotional resilience, and foster self-compassion.

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.

While counselling and psychotherapy are terms used interchangeably, there are subtle differences. Counselling is more solution-focused and short-term; psychotherapy usually involves more in-depth exploration of self with the aim of creating lasting changes to deeply rooted patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving.
