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. Each person is unique and deserves a personal and unique experience in therapy. I work with respect, integrity, honesty and openness to ensure that you are heard and valued, and to offer a special time and place to work on the things that are important in your life. 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!

I integrate multiple approaches in my practice. Approaches may involve learning practical skills and strategies, experiencing avoided emotions, evaluating and challenging negative thought patterns, processing trauma, or resolving internal conflicts. Treatment types may evolve and shift, and progress is monitored to ensure that your goals are being met.

I work from an Emotionally Focused Therapy lens (EFT). In EFT, we explore what’s happening underneath the surface — the emotions, fears, and needs that often drive how we react or withdraw in moments of distress. By understanding these deeper experiences, you can begin to: recognize emotional patterns, make sense of your reactions, build emotional safety, and develop healthier patterns of communication While traditional talk therapy can be beneficial, it is not without its limitations. Being vulnerable with another human being can be incredibly difficult. Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy is a unique and powerful way to explore personal growth and emotional healing with the help of horses.

Psychotherapy leads to in-depth understanding about ourselves. This understanding is prerequisite to engaging intimately with others and having conscious control over our needs are reactions. The therapeutic relationship established is the context where psychological change is possible. Psychotherapy is appropriate for both long-tern and short-term healing.

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.

Psychotherapy offers a process in which you are able to develop healthier ways of being in the world. Often through difficult life events you develop beliefs and habitual ways of interacting with others that keep you stuck in old patterns. Psychotherapy enables you to transform physical and emotional blocks that hinder you. You can create healthier beliefs and behaviours that lead to happier and more joyful interactions with yourself and others.

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.
