Psychotherapy is a talk therapy with proven research and evidence-based interventions. It is a confidential and safe space where clients can explore different aspects of their emotional pain with an empathic counselor. As a Master Level psychotherapist, I have educational training and clinical experience in Family Systems and Psychoeducation. Combining these two methods gives me a comprehensive and in-depth awareness of assisting individuals, couples, and families through their growth journey. Through the initial assessment, I will help you establish goals for therapy that are practical and achievable. Psychotherapy is a safe space to explore your any challenges you are facing.

As an eclectic therapist I offer assistance that supports learning of new ways of thinking that gets reinforced through experimental behaviour that is rich in meaning to clients. This cognitive behavioural therapy is woven within a humanistic, culturally sensitive frame. Some of the learning includes sharing simple techniques that can gently and safely regulate emotions and the inhibit the sympathetic nervous system to reduce overwhelm and dial down anxiety. With self-applied acupressure, sensory integration techniques, hypnosis and powerful EMDR interventions, many clients are better able to cope with their lives and begin to imagine and go on to build a fulfilling future.

As a gestalt psychotherapist, who pairs gestalt training with somatic experiencing I can help support you in healing from your trauma. No one in the Niagara Region utilizes the combination of these therapies and applies them to working with couples in crisis. I am sorry to say but popular approaches to healing trauma like CBT will provide only temporary relief at best. If you want to get to the root of your trauma and heal somatic experiencing (SE) is what you need and when supported with the power of relational gestalt therapy you will shift your shit! SE focuses on regulating your nervous system. Gestalt focuses on awareness, contact and authenticity, it will help being relational.

I use psychotherapy for both long term and short term benefit. During the first session we will set short term achievable goals and over the course of therapy I will encourage you to widen your scope and envision bigger dreams. We will look at past trauma/issues that have created psychological blocks and work on resolving them in order to create healthy change and transformation.

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.

My general psychotherapy approach is collaborative, client-centered, and grounded in emotional awareness and practical change. I support clients in exploring thoughts, feelings, and behaviours while also developing tools they can use in daily life. Therapy is not only about insight but also about applying that insight in meaningful ways. Clients often experience increased self-understanding, improved coping skills, and greater alignment between their internal experiences and external choices, leading to more intentional and grounded living.

Psychotherapy is primarily a talk-based therapy and is intended to help you improve and maintain positive mental health and well-being. I work with individuals, couples and families in individual and group settings. Psychotherapy occurs when the Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and client enter into a psychotherapeutic relationship where both work together to bring about positive change in the client’s thinking, feeling, behaviour and social functioning. Individuals usually seek psychotherapy when they have thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviours that are adversely affecting their day-to-day lives, relationships and the ability to enjoy life.

My approach to psychotherapy extends beyond traditional talk therapy. While dialogue is part of our work, much of the process involves tuning into what your body and nervous system are communicating beneath the words. Using evidence-based, experiential methods informed by neuroscience, polyvagal theory, and somatics, we explore how emotion, memory, and physiology interact. This process helps create safety and awareness in the body, fosters emotional regulation, and supports lasting change in how you think, feel, and behave. Through this therapeutic relationship, you can experience transformation at both the emotional and behavioural levels.

Therapy is where change begins. If you feel like you are simply getting by, managing the best you can, and showing up, but something isn't working anymore, therapy is a step in the right direction. The goal is to work alongside you, helping you navigate the changes you experience in your mid-later life. Together, we address your concerns and set realistic goals using a combination of therapeutic techniques, compassionate listening and conversation to support your healing journey. We work at a pace that honours your experiences. You don't have to have it all figured out to start. Many people arrive without certainty or a diagnosis. I work with adult individuals and couples navigating change.

My starting point in any work I do with clients is to build a strong connection between us. This done through listening, respect, creating safety, and really being present with the client when we are together. I believe this is vital to any therapy I do. I provide an atmosphere that the client can feel heard and seen for who they are. Every session may look different because it is based on the clients needs, situation, and goals for therapy.

Psychotherapy will help you understand yourself and your behaviour. By talking to a trained therapist you will gain insight into yourself and awareness of why you do what you do, and ways to change it. Psychotherapy looks at what you think, believe, and feel, and how that affects the way you live your life. By changing how you think, you can change how you believe, and change how you feel.
