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.

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.

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.

Life is a journey and we are presented with various challenges along the way. Sometimes we find a path forward and sometimes we get stuck and need guidance and support. Psychotherapy can be an opportunity for you to connect with a trained professional to explore the challenges you are experiencing and to discover new tools and perspectives. As a psychotherapist, I support you on your journey by creating a relationship with you that’s built on safety, openness, and trust. I also help you to discover the resilience that you hold and I support you in strengthening or re-defining the relationships within your life.

I am here to support you. My task is neither to “improve”, nor to “remake” you. I cannot replace you, I cannot act and live on behalf of you.

We can explore your past and present to make connections. We will dig deeper to find roots of your beliefs and develop your inner resources so that you may flourish. When I see you feeling better, thinking clearly, acting efficiently, achieving more, I consider my task is accomplished.

When you feel overwhelmed by your problems and unable to cope, you may benefit from psychotherapy. Psychotherapy I provide, helps with a range of different challenges: from depression, anxiety, phobias, bipolar and low self-esteem to addiction and family conflicts. In the process, you’ll learn how to cope with difficult situations in a more adaptive way, understand yourself better, your own goals and values, develop skills for improving relationships and overcome specific problems such as eating disorder, depression or phobias among others. I work from a variety of modalities: cognitive behavioural therapy, interpersonal therapy, mindfulness, narrative, solution focused, family therapy

Many people have ideas about how therapy should look or feel based on what they have seen in movies or tv, and some of those ideas can be scary or intimidating. Therapy should be a safe space where you feel comfortable sharing and exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with someone who offers you empathy, authenticity, and acceptance. I believe that clients are the experts in their lives and will work collaboratively with you to explore the stories you hold about yourself and the world around you to find meaning, facilitate change, and highlight your strengths and successes. Book a free consultation to learn more about my approach and explore if we are a good fit.

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.
