Psychotherapy with me involves understanding how your life (family, trauma, relationships) has created beliefs, fears and sensitivities that affect your emotions, thought patterns and choices today. We will work together to enhance your awareness of and ability to cope with emotions triggered in the present. I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and EEG Neurofeedback to achieve your goals for healing and wellness.

Although I have training in many different modalities of treatment, I believe strongly that the critical factor in deciding which approach to use, is you. My approach in integrated, so while the theory may guide some of my thinking and planning about how to help you, your own wisdom, experiences, and capacities help me to develop strategies that you can learn in the counselling room, and then put into practice in the real world. Safely. Thoughtfully.

I've heard a lot of people tell me that they thought "therapy was only for crazy people". It's not. Psychotherapy can keep you from going crazy! Having a trained professional to assist you in making sense of your life can be a very "un-crazy" thing to do. Besides, the process can actually be fun and enjoyable. In additon, I offer body-oriented psychotherapy which integrates the awareness of the body in helping you to manage intense emotions or physical symptoms.

Freeing energy blocks can open the gate for you to experience life more fully: joyfilled moments, pleasure and be really there for yourself and others when you CHOOSE

I believe clients are the experts of their lives and experience. My aim is to help you explore and process the ways you feel stuck in your life and far away from your goals. I believe clients do their best work when therapy is a safe and thoughtful space where I invite you to imagine differences in your relationships, with yourself and others. My work is informed by Narrative, Dialogic, Solution-Focused, and Emotionally Focused modalities. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit.

Anybody can do counselling, but it takes skill to be a therapist. Clients who come to me find they do most of the talking. My role is to listen, try to understand what you are thinking and feeling, and reflect that understanding back to you. I want you to feel deeply heard. I want you to feel someone cares. I do not give you solutions. Rather, I help you find them within yourself.

Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to explore the challenges you are facing in a safe, non-judgmental space. As you share your experiences, we will be looking for adaptive and maladaptive patterns of thinking, feeling and/or behaving to move in a more helpful direction. I may ask questions that lead to better understanding of your current struggles and potential solutions. Increasing awareness and understanding of emotions and body sensations may also help to live a more integrated and authentic life.

Some people avoid counseling because of stigmatization and fear of the unknown. By using the Bio-Social model it allows a full assessment which will guide the therapy in a structured manner and give the individual a goal to work towards. As well it allows me to start therapy where the individual is by building trust and understanding while giving them alternatives to acceptance and change. There is no more guessing or wondering what to expect because you are the driver of the vehicle and I am a passenger who will ask questions that may help guide you onto better things. Therapy sessions provides the individual an opportunity to become aware of their own well-being.

My Psychotherapy practice is dedicated to offering women, couples and those involved with WSIB compassionate, flexible and affordable counselling. This is a safe space where you will be heard and understood, where you will not be judged; a place where you can discover inner peace, growth, joy, and begin to heal and recover. My experience working in community agencies, women's shelters and as a Medical Social Worker have provided me with the skills and heart to help you find hope, and increase your coping.

Psychotherapy can help you cope with difficult life circumstances, recover from mental health concerns and it encourages healing and personal growth. Drawing on a variety of psychotherapy modalities, I create a compassionate, non-judgmental and healing space for you to work on becoming the best version of yourself through therapy. For those open and willing to do deeper and more meaningful work, I lean towards a more experiential and self-compassionate approach to therapy, utilizing techniques from Internal Family Systems (IFS) & Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO).
