To maintain an overall health, mental health and wellbeing with psychotherapy -- to enhance one's self-awareness and ability to reflect on their own thoughts, feelings, and environments.

To provide psychoeducation in order for the client to understand their own symptoms and develop goals.

As opposed to many of the behaviourally-based (simple fix) treatments available today, psychotherapy involves going deeper. This might include looking at coping skills or patterns you developed as a child which, though they served you well then, may be getting in the way of your life now. Psychotherapy is less about learning tools, and more about developing insights about oneself and one's loved ones. While many therapies today focus on changing behaviour in the here and now, psychotherapy often involves looking at what may underlie emotional or relational patterns, such as having difficulty saying no, or struggling to trust others. It involves being more honest and authentic with oneself.

Sometimes we can become ‘tangled up’ in our thoughts, or the challenges we face; negatively impacting our day-to-day life. Engaging in psychotherapy (or ‘talk counselling’) with a qualified professional can be a beneficial way to get ‘untangled’, and to get back on track with your well-being. I work with youth (ages 13+), adults, and parents/caregivers who are seeking to overcome difficulties associated with eating, body image, anxiety and depression. Together we can work towards better understanding the problems that are holding you back, while developing new insights, self-awareness, and positive coping.
