Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

Hope centered Counselling is working towards building a coast to coast service because we just really want to help as many people as we can. We are having therapists join the team to meet the ever growing needs and changes in our communities and country. We want to be able to serve all the diversity this beautiful country has to offer by creating a team that is just as diverse and that speaks different languages as well. We look forward to supporting you through a wide range of life difficulties.

When it comes to mental health, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. The same is true for psychotherapy. Considering your unique needs and concerns, I draw on multiple therapeutic models to create a custom approach just for you. I also believe that therapy doesn't have to be stuffy. We'll share laughter and authentic human connection even as you're gaining insights into your issues and learning skills for addressing them.

The key to choosing a psychotherapist is finding someone whom you genuinely trust, connect with, and feel comfortable opening up to. I offer a free 30 minute consultation session to help you determine if I’m the right fit. My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in self-compassion and empathy. Using an informal, conversational style, I provide my clients with the emotional support, comfort, and guidance they need to grow. Using methods from Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I assist my clients in developing successful coping skills that empower them to lead a more genuine and satisfying life.

My approach involves drawing on various modalities (e.g., dialogic, narrative, solution-focused, emotion-focused) that fit the unique needs of clients. I hope to create an environment for clients where they feel a sense of safety to express their reflections, thoughts, and concerns. I take on a non-judgmental, non-expert stance and firmly believe that clients have everything that they need already within them- my role is to simply remind you of who you are or to help you discover who you would like to be through supportive, therapeutic conversations. If you are interested in learning more about my approach and to see if we would be a good fit, please contact me for a free consultation.

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

For over 10 years I have worked with individuals, couples, parents and families. My expertise is in fostering relationships within ourselves as well as with one another. I love conversations that draw on the importance of the client-therapist relationship, and have found this to be such a depth of potential healing for clients. I also supervise other therapists, for nearly 10 years now, and have found this work to be so rewarding. My biggest passion in my work is including nature in the healing journey. I have witnessed my clients outside with mother earth in countless moments of deep profound healing that I can only name as magical.

Human behaviour is incredibly complex. Each person has their own unique life experiences, some pleasurable and some emotionally and mentally stressful. Counselling and psychotherapy can be powerful tools for facilitating healing, fostering a deeper understanding of one's life experiences, and providing tools to better cope with life's challenges; especially when the treatment approach reflects the uniqueness of a person's life. I offer counselling and psychotherapy for adult men. Together, we develop the ideal treatment approach that best helps them achieve their therapeutic goals, equip them to better handle life’s setbacks and help them to live with a renewed sense of hope and optimism.

Are you struggling with feeling "not quite yourself" lately? Has this begun to make it difficult to function in your day-to-day life? Perhaps the pandemic's got you down or you are challenged by past trauma or regret. Inner Alchemy Psychotherapy can help you reframe your perspective and life story, opening you up to new and different possibilities for what you had previously imagined for yourself. If you have always lived your life on the fringe and have always felt doubtful that you'd find a therapist who would "get" you, Inner Alchemy Psychotherapy is for you. My ideal clients are those who have alternative approaches to relationship, spirituality, and lifestyle.

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.

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 provides a valuable opportunity for self-exploration and personal growth. I offer a client-centered approach, integrating various therapeutic techniques to address your unique needs and goals. Whether you're dealing with specific mental health issues or seeking general self-improvement, we’ll work together to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in a supportive environment. My aim is to help you gain insight, develop coping strategies, and achieve meaningful change in your life. Reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to begin your journey toward personal growth and healing.

Therapy with me is a space where you don’t need to have the right words or clear answers. We start with whatever’s bringing you in—whether it’s a specific struggle or a general feeling that something isn’t working—and we take it from there. This is a process of change, not a quick fix. Often, the issues we’re facing now are tied to experiences we’ve had before—sometimes in ways we haven’t fully recognized. Together, we’ll work to understand how your past and present connect, how certain patterns keep repeating, and where there might be room for something new.
