Find a Therapist in Manotick, Ontario.

I work with Carl Roger's 'Client Centered Therapy". I use the 'sounding board' approach to help people interiorize and reach to the root of their problem. The idea is to help people find their own answers and solutions. A very efficient and successful non-threathening approach. I also use Ericksonian clinical hypnotherapy for regression and past lives management. I use breathing and relaxation methods to support a technique called progressive desensitization for the control and elimination of fears and phobias.

Making the decision to work with a therapist takes a great deal of courage. Most of us decide it’s time to explore therapy when we finally acknowledge that something must change. My role as a therapist is to act as a supportive companion and occasional guide helping you navigate through your journey. This process provides the opportunity to cultivate awareness. This increased awareness can relate to our emotional state, while at other times it connects to the deeper meanings that drive our daily actions. Life is complex and psychotherapy can act as a helpful tool to both unpack and embrace the richness that each day can bring. Schedule a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.

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.

I utilize an eclectic and collaborative approach to psychotherapy with my clients, drawing from evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and narrative therapy. Additionally, I believe strongly in harnessing your own inner strengths and motivations to build sustainable change. One of the primary benefits of psychotherapy, in my opinion, is that it should be a conversation like no other you've had before, creating a non-judgmental space where you can be truly open.
