In therapy with me, you’re stepping into a space where you don’t have to perform or hold anything together. We explore the raw, unfiltered parts of your story—the hurts, hopes, questions, and contradictions—trusting that they all carry wisdom worth hearing. I guide you to reflect deeply on your patterns and choices, helping you make thoughtful changes that align with your values. Clients often leave feeling more centered, more compassionate toward themselves, and more intentional in how they live, equipped to move through life with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

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.

Psychotherapy with me will offer you a secure non-judgmental relationship to grow in your goals. Together we will explore what is bringing you into therapy and with compassion and curiousity notice what comes up for you when you seek to make change. As we explore what comes up, we will use tools to get to the roots of those blocks and discover deeper part of you that can provide you with that felt sense of relief and new found energy.

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.

I believe that change happens when their is a strong relationship between the client and therapist. I work hard to ensure that my clients are relaxed, comfortable and safe so that they can feel free to share openly without judgement. I believe in a collaborative approach where the client sets the pace and we work together through various therapeutic techniques (Cognitive-Behavioral, EMDR, Art, books, Family Systems) so that the client can reach the goals they set for themselves in therapy

My approach to psychotherapy is integrative, client-centered, and grounded in building a strong therapeutic alliance based on trust, empathy, and respect. I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of the individual, drawing from evidence-based modalities. Clients benefit from a safe and nonjudgmental space to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while gaining deeper insight into the patterns that may be holding them back.

We provide an integrative approach to therapy with an emphasis on experiential therapeutic modalities through a neuroscience-informed, connection-focused lens. We honour the wisdom of the body in guiding the therapeutic process through an understanding of the brain-mind-body connection. We integrate bottom-up and top-down strategies to support each individual's unique nervous system and needs.

The circumstances and issues that you are dealing with are unique to you, but you don't have to face them alone. Every individual has different experiences, perceptions, feelings, thoughts, beliefs, values, attitudes, cultural backgrounds and "upbringings". Counselling sessions are private and confidential, and can provide a way for you to explore your problems and really tune in to your feelings. This is an opportunity to speak freely about your circumstances and release pent up feelings, without having to worry about what others think or feel, and without receiving unwanted advise from family, friends or coworkers. At the root of the problem, there are very real, legitimate and understandable reasons for feeling the way you feel, thinking the way...(view profile to read more)

At Inner Tides Counselling, we use evidence-based approaches to psychotherapy. Our primary modality to psychotherapy is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, in which disturbing memories and experiences are reprocessed with bilateral stimulation (at your own comfortable pace). Inner Tides Counselling is also trained in CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), both of which are other forms of evidence-based psychotherapies. No matter which modality is the best fit for you, Inner Tides Counselling's approach is always trauma-informed, person-centered and strengths-based.

One of the most difficult decisions that many of us struggle with is reaching out for help. I will provide you with practical strategies in a supportive and non-judgemental environment. Your time is valuable and if you are looking for a counsellor with a straight forward approach then please contact me. Acceptance is the magic that makes change possible!

Psychotherapy or talk therapy can be a helpful way to address problems and create meaningful change in your life. Utilizing a number of therapeutic models I hope to provide an empathetic and non-judgemental experience to explore "problems". Sessions are typically one hour and can be a safe and confidential space to share concerns, worries, fears, hopes, and needs. We will collaborate on goals for our work together. Therapeutic approaches include: Response-Based Practice, Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, and Systemic Family Therapy.

I integrate contemporary neuroscience with time-tested therapeutic wisdom to create a transformative healing experience unique to your needs. You will benefit from a holistic approach that honours the inseparable connection between mind, body and relationships. We explore deeper patterns and unresolved experiences that may be limiting your well-being, while developing practical tools for immediate relief. This deeper healing enhances your ability to navigate challenges with greater ease, experience more authentic connections with others, and access an expanded sense of possibility and joy in everyday life.

Depending on the issues clients present with during a session, sometimes counselling needs to go deeper into the underlying factors contributing to a mental illness diagnosis or relational distress. Psychotherapy is an approach to help clients get progress when previous attempts to address issues have not resulted in the therapeutic transaction a client is looking for in therapy. I work with clients to help them deepen their therapy process and work toward the change they are looking for to improve their life and personal confidence.
