I take a positive based approach in my counselling. I believe that lasting change happens when you draw out the truths within yourself and your relationships. I do not treat people as problems, as people are people and problems are problems. I do not like lables; I believe people are a lot more than what they may be currently struggling with. I seek to understand the full context of a person, rather than just focusing on a specific issue. I am a Registered Psychotherapist.

You can work through your life issues! Psychotherapy is different from counseling. Counseling is working with current life issues and discussing them, processing emotions, and creating action plans to improve issues. Psychotherapy is deeper healing work where we explore how your current life in various areas has potentially been impacted by your early life and your life until now, and the beliefs and schemas that you formulated through those. We work with both the past and present simultaneously to heel wounds that occurred, big or small, and how to transform those into shifted behavior in the now. We will work with your thoughts, your emotions, and your behaviors in a manner that is unique.

Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out. Together, we’ll explore what’s been weighing on you and identify what meaningful, realistic change can look like in your life. Clients often say they feel seen, grounded, and better able to cope after our sessions. My approach is compassionate, down-to-earth, and collaborative—focused on helping you understand yourself more deeply, shift long-standing patterns, and move through life with more clarity, confidence, and self-trust.

Meeting with a psychotherapist has one primary aim: to share ways of improving and sustaining one's mental health and wellbeing. It may include revisiting past experiences that were impactful; practicing skills and techniques in the present; or talking about ideas and strategies to use in the future. Sometimes, psychotherapy involves having an in-the-moment experience that brings about a profound change of perspective or a new emotional truth. Whichever direction your own psychotherapy takes, we know that the single biggest contributor to a positive counselling experience is your relationship with your therapist. I can help you find the best path forward for you. Reach out today to begin.

I offer a safe space for clients to reach their full potential through a therapeutic relationship that is based on the clients goals. Clients will be able to discover new things about themselves and find new ways to confront any struggles that they may be facing. Through psychotherapy clients often find their strengths and new insights that lead them closer to a fulfilled life.

I embrace a strengths-based philosophy, guided by consistent positive regard for clients and families. Within that context, I utilize an array of clinical practices to best serve clients and families within individual and group formats. These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Harm Reduction, Psycho-education, Mindfulness, and Recovery.  My approach is collaborative, compassionate and interactive. And as a Accredited Music Therapist, I am always ready to incorporate music into the psychotherapy process. I provide a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space to help my clients achieve optimal mental health.

Psychotherapy is a specialized form of therapy focused on deep, long-term change by exploring the root causes of emotional and psychological issues. Unlike general therapy, which may address immediate concerns or offer practical advice, psychotherapy delves into the complexities of your past experiences and patterns. My approach aims to foster profound personal growth and lasting healing by understanding and transforming the underlying factors affecting your well-being. As a dedicated psychotherapist, I offer a transformative approach to explore and address the root causes of your challenges. Please schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit.

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.

We can all agree that sometimes it simply feels good to talk to someone. All the better when we know with absolute confidence that the person we are talking to is not going to judge us. Psychotherapy is, in its purest form, talk therapy. At Uniquely You, therapy does not require an agenda. Instead, the process of therapy is constructed to suit you. It is compassionate, non-judgmental, and realistic; the goal is to help you get on the path of living YOUR best life, whatever that may look like.

Most people consider psychotherapy because they are in crisis and seek an intervention that will improve their lives. The issue may involve work or the recognition of recurring, destructive themes that prevent them from living out their dreams. I use a framework called Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, originating from Diana Fosha. It uses a model of attachment to establish a clear, supportive relationship that helps people feel safe enough to explore deeper issues and to know that they are not alone. I aim to help them reach inside themselves to deal with painful feelings, make way for the resilience and wisdom that reside in each of us and find the transformation we seek.

Psychotherapy provides us with an opportunity to use an integrative approach to gain insight into your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and interactions. I work collaboratively with my clients to reach their therapeutic goals within an empathetic and supportive dynamic. Whether your goals are for you as an individual or as part of a couple, psychotherapy provides the opportunity for personal growth and empowerment to experience the life you desire.
