My approach is to work collaboratively with clients using a holistic model of therapy which entails a blending of Eastern and Western modalities. For example, training in meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, proper exercise, a nutritious, science-based diet and maintaining proper sleep hygiene. Also, including talk therapy can then help to reveal core values and issues. Mindfulness training benefits clients in observing clearly thoughts and behaviours. Clients benefit greatly through the use of evidence based interventions by developing the skills needed to evaluate thought patterns and overcome destructive patterns.

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.

My approach to psychotherapy integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, and Somatic Experiencing to develop a deep connection between mind and body. I emphasize the importance of tuning into how the body experiences emotions and life events, recognizing that bodily sensations are key indicators of our emotional states. By addressing and accepting these emotions, people can open new pathways for handling life’s challenges. This method encourages not just coping, but thriving through a holistic understanding and acceptance of one’s feelings, leading to innovative solutions and healthier approaches to life's difficulties.

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.

Psychotherapy is an approach to treating mental health issues by talking with a psychotherapist or another mental health provider. It is also known as talk therapy, counseling, psychosocial therapy, or therapy. In psychotherapy, we engage in a "conversation" exploring your emotions and how they impact your ability to function. We also identify how emotions, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors are connected and how to use them to develop better coping skills to manage your life and regain control over your life. Psychotherapy can help you feel more accomplished and well-rounded.

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.

Psychotherapy has been with humankind since our origins. However, about a century ago, psychologists tried to systematize and formalize psychotherapeutic interventions and, depending on their worldview and perspectives on human nature, they created various approaches that currently exceed 400, which can be confusing and misleading. A successful psychotherapy, regardless of the lenses and title, should acknowledge that every person has a unique mind and, as a result, a unique mental world. The therapist’s job is to help the client explore this world in a supportive environment. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Do you have a junk drawer in your home? I like to think of therapy like emptying out and organizing your junk drawer. Trauma and stress disorganizes our brain. Memories and experiences are scrambled and coping skills are hidden. Therapy lets us empty out those drawers, put them in order, throw out the things we no longer need, and find the things we’ve been searching for.

Psychotherapy is a talk-based therapy in which folks can explore their concerns related to life challenges, stressors, mental health and well-being in a non-judgemental space.

I value collaboration, authenticity and anti-oppressive practice in the therapeutic space. Contact me for a free consultation to determine if we would be a good fit.

Now imagine the movie that's playing on the screen is your life. Psychotherapy is like a private screening of your life's movie with a trained expert. It's a place where you'll get to collaboratively review, discuss, and revise aspects of your movie, all from the unique perspective of someone in the audience.

The experience should be fun, fascinating, and meaningful to you -- everything you'd expect from the cost of admission! https://www.intunecounselling.com/blog/the-audience-effect

Psychotherapy is similar to counseling, and the two can overlap. However, the former tends to look more deeply, addressing the underlying causes of a person’s problems as well as how to solve them. Psychotherapy can help when depression, low self-esteem, addiction, bereavement, or other factors leave a person feeling overwhelmed. It can also help treat bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and certain other mental health conditions.
