Research studies have shown that psychotherapy or talk therapy is an effective treatment for a broad range of mental health issues such as depression, panic attacks, grief and loss, work stress, phobias, relationship difficulties, anxiety and worry, couple/marital distress, addictions and codependency, poor self-esteem, and survivors of trauma and abuse. My approach to psychotherapy incorporates a combination of evidenced based methodologies and techniques drawn from family systems, cognitive behavioural, and psychodynamic therapies.

My approach to psychotherapy integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, and Somatic Experiencing to develop a deep connection between mind and body. I emphasize the importance of tuning into how the body experiences emotions and life events, recognizing that bodily sensations are key indicators of our emotional states. By addressing and accepting these emotions, people can open new pathways for handling life’s challenges. This method encourages not just coping, but thriving through a holistic understanding and acceptance of one’s feelings, leading to innovative solutions and healthier approaches to life's difficulties.

As a therapist, I've witnessed the transformative power of psychotherapy firsthand. Beyond offering a safe and confidential space, therapy provides individuals with invaluable tools for self-discovery and personal growth. Through introspection and dialogue, clients gain insight into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, empowering them to navigate life's challenges with greater clarity and resilience. Psychotherapy fosters a deeper understanding of oneself and others, leading to healthier relationships and improved communication skills. The journey of psychotherapy is empowerment, self-compassion, and lasting change, guiding clients toward a more fulfilling and authentic life.

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.

Therapy is a place to work through stuff with someone on the outside. I help men to be able to have tough conversations without losing it, have deep conversations without running away, and manage their mood for the long-haul. Feelings are uncomfortable. You've always been the person that's said "I'm just not good with feelings". You've been proud of this tough exterior because that's how you need to be to make it in this world. This has certainly been helpful in the workplace, but you're starting to see that this may not work so well in your relationships. People have a hard time getting close to you and you don't know how to get there. Reach out to start the conversation.
