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.

"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will control your life and you will call it fate." No, you won't have to lie down on the couch (although you can if you'd like to).

I'll help you make sense of your inner world and discover things about yourself you're completely unaware of. Together, we'll dive deep down the rabbit hole and figure out how your subconscious is affecting your life. Get the tools you need to remodel your mind.

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.

Psychotherapy is one way of working through depression, anxiety, personality disorders,eating disorders, addictions, marriage and family issues (to name some). The process can vary depending on an indivduals needs and struggles. I work from the cognitive behaiour and the dialectical behavioral models to help individuals learn and grow as people, and aquire tools to help cope with their struggles.

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 believe that “individual” concerns go beyond the individual and are deeply connected to the way we interact with the world and others. As such, my approach to psychotherapy draws on systemic therapies that focus on broader sociocultural influences, intersections of identity and relational patterns. 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.

Beginning with a warm and trusting relationship, an environment is built in which we can set realistic, measurable goals in order to work toward your health.

I am a relational person and am not afraid to be myself in therapy.

My primary approach to working with clients is Relational Psychotherapy. "Relational therapists help clients understand, on the one hand, their own patterns of thoughts and feelings about themselves, and on the other hand, the power of significant relationships, past and present, to shape this self-experience. Relational therapy strengthens and transforms a client's sense of self, which in turn enhances his or her confidence and well-being in the world." In other words, as a relational psychotherapist, I will be with you as you explore your life, your sense of self, and your relationships with others.

In psychotherapy, I offer a warm, reflective space where clients can slow down and explore their inner world with care and curiosity. Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing, and DBT approaches, we work toward meaningful change by developing a deeper understanding of self, clarifying patterns, and building practical tools for everyday challenges. This process can help you navigate relationships with greater confidence, process difficult experiences, and gain clarity about who you are and where you want to go. Together, we move at a thoughtful pace to support healing, strengthen resilience, and create lasting, meaningful growth.

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.

I provide Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, which is a blend of mindfulness training and CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy). I provide compassionate care whereby I will help you deal with your issues with more skills and less fear/confusion. I would be honoured to work with you.

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.

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.

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.
