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.

Often we know what we need to do differently, it's not that we don't have the wisdom, it's that it can be hard to apply! Doing Psychotherapy with me is a gentle and compassionate process of uncovering and tending to the old wounds and patterns that can be steering our behaviour and leading us astray. This frees up the space to live in the present with mindfulness, and create the future that we dream of!

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. If you seek to understand the origin of your patterned behavaiour; uncover underlying motivations, desires, wishes, and dreams; discover more about your own values, beliefs and purpose; release trauma and become who you always knew you wanted to be, email me today!

I offer a multidisciplinary and relational approach to psychotherapy that includes early attachment work and a sensitivity to intergenerational dynamics and trauma, with a holistic orientation and evidence-based techniques. The role of the body in healing is central to my work, as I draw on many somatic practices. I also work with the arts as a healing modality. On the part of my clients, no experience in the arts is necessary. Whichever therapeutic modality we choose as best suited to your current journey, we work with the fundamental creative drive that is present in all of us to encounter the many facets of your healing pilgrimage necessary for growth and lasting change.

In my psychotherapy practice, I provide client-centered and evidence-based approaches that promote profound and lasting personal growth. I recognize that every individual is unique, and my therapy sessions are tailored to meet your specific needs and goals. Through a compassionate and non-judgmental environment, I work collaboratively with clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, helping them gain insight into their challenges and develop effective coping strategies. Whether you're seeking help with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other mental health concern, my psychotherapy services are designed to bring change. Take the first step today.

Want to build new ideas, clarify difficulties with emotions, motives, and interactions with others that lead to confusion? Rebuilding confidence and trust in yourself is crucial for change to be achieved. Our lives and our pathways are not written in stone. When we tell our stories in ways that can make us stronger, we can discover - we are not the problem - the problem is the problem. When we separate ourselves from the problem we can begin to revise our relationships with problems and gain new insight into different ways we can live our lives. I can help you rewrite what you tell about yourself and discover new ways to reclaim your past and re-envision your future.

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.

Raue, Goldfried, & Barkham, (1997) highlight how the therapeutic relationship is key to a client progress or engagement in therapy.
