Psychologists know what you're thinking, right? Wrong. Though that's what people often believe, today psychologists are not just analysts but counselors, coaches, teachers, researchers, supports, you name it!

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an approach related to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) that is based in science. Using ACT, I aim to help you increase your psychological flexibility, enabling a more adaptable set of emotional responses to your current difficulties. By learning about yourself, you will better be able to act as your own mentor and have more resilience in managing future difficulties. Throughout therapy, we will explore, values, goals, mindfulness (present-centeredness), thoughts, and feelings that may be holding you back and those that may be motivating as well.

All too often, life throws us a curve-ball. In an instant, we go from having it all together to standing in the shambles of our lives wondering how it all ever fit together in first place. On the one hand, we see our principles, our faith and our beliefs, and, on the other, we see our reality -- and our broken hearts. In times like these, it's not enough to just gain more information. What really matters is making it all fit. As a registered psychologist, my training in psychology can help you with those answers and, as a registered Christian counsellor, the training in faith, spirituality and meaning can help you make sense of that information for your life, and then help you to see how you can fit the pieces back together again.
