My approach includes using strength-based, client centred therapies in practice and recognizing that clients are resilient and have the ability to connect with themselves to find answers to any of life’s problems. Other modalities which are helpful include solution focused brief therapy and narrative therapy, whereby clients are able to recognize and build on their hopes. Clients will benefit from psychotherapy, as their negative thoughts will be challenged, resulting in decreased self-blame.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and I value working with people to gain greater self awareness and gain greater freedom of choice. Psychotherapy is a form of talk therapy that explores and helps you to process your thoughts, feelings, attitudes and values about where you find yourself in life and where you want to go. It would be a honor to work with you.

At The Therapy Place of Oakville, I see psychotherapy as a safe place to openly discuss your thoughts and feelings and to gain insights into patterns of behaviour and emotions that might be limiting you, and keeping. you "stuck". When you do psychotherapy with me, we go beyond just talking about your "stuff" - we identify and name what's not working, we look at ways to challenge your well-entrenched patterns of being and thinking, and we cultivate skills to help you grow and lead a more satisfying life. Psychotherapy is appropriate for lots of life's challenges including depression, anxiety, relationship issues and for those times in life when we just need some support and guidance.

In psychotherapy, I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences at a pace that feels safe. My approach is collaborative and integrative, drawing from evidence-based methods to help clients understand themselves more deeply, heal from emotional wounds, and build resilience. Whether you’re facing anxiety, trauma, depression, or life transitions, I tailor the work to your unique needs and goals. Clients often experience greater self-awareness, emotional relief, and empowerment to create meaningful change in their lives.

Psychotherapy can be life-changing; you may need a few sessions or more in-depth work, but we will collaborate to meet your needs. There are many types of psychotherapy, all of which involve talking to someone you can confide in and trust to have your best interests at heart. I offer a person-centred approach to meet your unique needs and work with you on your best strategy for meeting life’s challenges.

I offer a unique form of Psychotherapy that uses therapeutic art making combined with talking therapy. I use these techniques to guide my clients through a process of self-discovery and help them achieve a stronger sense of well-being. Creating art is an extension of self onto a canvas, which allows my clients to have a means of observing their emotions and inner thoughts, as well as a non-threatening way to express them. Through this, my clients can learn to understand their own behaviours, thought patterns, emotions, and moods. With this technique, my clients can learn to take control of their lives and manage their emotions.

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.

Psychotherapy allows for personal challenges to be addressed. Through a warm, therapeutic relationship in which individuals, couples, and families are permitted to discuss these issues, my aim is to assist in resolving them. Although many forms of therapy exist to do so, sensitivity will be provided to ensure the client ultimately dictates which ones are to be used. Whether it is amending destructive thoughts, accepting thoughts and feelings that are beyond our control, or utilizing strengths within to formulate new solutions, therapy will be structured to facilitate therapeutic goals in the manner most beneficial to the client.

As a psychotherapist, I approach my client's life with care, compassion and respect. Many of the issues we face today are rooted in the past. For me, exploring those roots is essential to the healing process. Often I see my client's experience great relief and healing as we work together and create a better understanding of who they are, what they desire and what is causing the pain or 'stuck-ness' that they may be experiencing. I particularly enjoy using methods such as guided imagery and narrative therapy to capture the life and understand my client's experience. It is always a great honour and privilege to be invited to join my client on their journey.

Clients benefit from attending psychotherapy with me because I bring a trauma-informed, compassionate presence that fosters safety and trust. When life feels overwhelming, confusing, or heavy, I offer a genuine connection where clients feel cared for, seen, and supported. My trauma-informed approach means moving at a pace that feels safe, honouring each person’s story, and creating space for emotions that may feel too difficult to share elsewhere. Together, we explore identity, purpose, and the possibility of living with greater clarity and ease. Clients often discover what self-compassion truly feels like while building resilience, finding meaning, and reconnecting with a deeper self.

Clarity is everything! Psychotherapy for me is the process in which we help an individual bring clarity to their life. Stress, dysfunctional relationships, childhood neglect or trauma, loss or rejection, failure and crisis can all send us reeling. We lose our focus. We get off track. We become disoriented and lose our centre. Sometimes Psychotherapy is a process in which we reclaim our selves. In other cases we re-create ourselves, and yet in other cases we over come ourselves. Once we see clearly we begin to place the stepping-stones of intentional behaviour as we write our next chapters . . . now with clarity.

My approach to psychotherapy is built on authenticity, compassion and collaboration. I take the time to foster a genuine connection in which both my clients and I can be ourselves. I offer a space in which clients feel heard, supported and not judged allowing them to feel safe to nurture positive growth. I promote a relationship that is founded in partnership allowing my clients to feel a sense of ownership over their treatment while also receiving support to foster change. My clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, learn the tools to navigate obstacles with confidence and create lasting change.

Sometimes we don't feel connected. Not only to our partners and family but to life in general. We feel like we are searching for some elusive ideal which we can neither explain or label, leaving us feeling like we are wandering in circles. Using a Jungian and Adlerian approach and dream analysis, I have found that people have been able to break free from the role of the nomad. This approach can require a much longer commitment from clients who are seeking a deeper epiphany about themselves and their lives.

As a systems therapist, the biopsychosocial spiritual framework for wellness plays a role in the care that I provide. For holistic care of my clients, I consider the biological, psychological, social and spiritual factors that influence their well-being. Clients can expect a non-judgmental, collaborative environment where they can openly discuss their thoughts and feelings. I collaborate with clients to determine and establish goals for therapy and develop treatment plans. Through this process, clients gain insights into the issues they have presented in therapy and learn strategies for addressing them.

Life can present us with daunting challenges, but there's a path to healing within you. I specialize in transformative psychotherapy, where we embark on a journey together.

I provide a safe & non-judgmental environment for clients to open up on all issues, even deeply buried ones (from early childhood to present), so I can get a sense of the whole picture, ask the right questions, and come up with an effective treatment plan. I’ve successfully worked with many individuals & couples who others had given up on, since they weren’t able to go deep enough. This has allowed me to especially help people who are struggling with emotional or sexual trauma, incest, abuse, porn or sex addiction, sexual dysfunction, intimacy issues & taboos & fears which trap them in shame. I’ve also helped couples heal from deep wounds such as infidelity and build stronger relationships.

If therapy were to be successful for you, what would be different in your life? How would you know that this process was a good use of your time and money? - How you answer those questions is very important, those answers set the (initial) destination as we set out on this journey together. Client directed therapy means that your goals are the compass that guides our work, and we will regularly check in to assess what is working and not working in helping you reach those goals. Every client is different, and our work will be built on proven modalities and techniques, while also being specific to you.

Psychotherapy helps clients explore the past roots of the issues they are struggling with in order to make lasting changes. Unresolved issues from our childhood and the past can deeply impact our current lives. Past emotional injuries can be impacting our present in ways we are not always aware of. We provide a safe and supportive place to process past experiences in order to see lasting change.

Although often used interchangeably there are some subtle differences between counselling and psychotherapy. Counselling can be thought of as relatively short term with an individual seeking out solutions to a particular issue they are dealing with. It is often concerned with an individual’s behaviour, targeting a particular symptom or problem situation, and is supportive. Psychotherapy, on the other hand, is usually longer term, focusing more on physical and/or emotional problems which either persist for some time or keep recurring. Rather than dealing with a specific problem, psychotherapy challenges an individual’s belief systems and core values.

I embrace uniqueness and everyone's experiences ARE unique, they're ours. I approach each client with uniqueness and authenticity. I like to apply psychodynamic counselling and empowerment strategies to aid in better understanding our experiences and feelings while striving to build our voices and assert ourselves in the present and the future.
