Find a Therapist in Norfolk County, Ontario.

As a psychotherapist, I approach my client's life with care, compassion and respect. Many of the issues we face today are rooted in the past. For me, exploring those roots is essential to the healing process. Often I see my client's experience great relief and healing as we work together and create a better understanding of who they are, what they desire and what is causing the pain or 'stuck-ness' that they may be experiencing. I particularly enjoy using methods such as guided imagery and narrative therapy to capture the life and understand my client's experience. It is always a great honour and privilege to be invited to join my client on their journey.

I offer a unique form of Psychotherapy that uses therapeutic art making combined with talking therapy. I use these techniques to guide my clients through a process of self-discovery and help them achieve a stronger sense of well-being. Creating art is an extension of self onto a canvas, which allows my clients to have a means of observing their emotions and inner thoughts, as well as a non-threatening way to express them. Through this, my clients can learn to understand their own behaviours, thought patterns, emotions, and moods. With this technique, my clients can learn to take control of their lives and manage their emotions.

Psychotherapy is commonly known as talk therapy. The main goal with psychotherapy is to help individuals with their mental health.

I promote a relationship that is founded in partnership allowing my clients to feel a sense of ownership over their treatment while also receiving support to foster change. My clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, learn the tools to navigate obstacles with confidence and create lasting change.

Psychotherapy has been with humankind since our origins. However, about a century ago, psychologists tried to systematize and formalize psychotherapeutic interventions and, depending on their worldview and perspectives on human nature, they created various approaches that currently exceed 400, which can be confusing and misleading. A successful psychotherapy, regardless of the lenses and title, should acknowledge that every person has a unique mind and, as a result, a unique mental world. The therapist’s job is to help the client explore this world in a supportive environment. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

Although often used interchangeably there are some subtle differences between counselling and psychotherapy. Counselling can be thought of as relatively short term with an individual seeking out solutions to a particular issue they are dealing with. It is often concerned with an individual’s behaviour, targeting a particular symptom or problem situation, and is supportive. Psychotherapy, on the other hand, is usually longer term, focusing more on physical and/or emotional problems which either persist for some time or keep recurring. Rather than dealing with a specific problem, psychotherapy challenges an individual’s belief systems and core values.

My approach includes using strength-based, client centred therapies in practice and recognizing that clients are resilient and have the ability to connect with themselves to find answers to any of life’s problems. Other modalities which are helpful include solution focused brief therapy and narrative therapy, whereby clients are able to recognize and build on their hopes. Clients will benefit from psychotherapy, as their negative thoughts will be challenged, resulting in decreased self-blame.

Psychotherapy with me is a collaborative process where clients are supported in exploring their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a safe and nonjudgmental space. My approach is tailored to each person’s unique needs, drawing on evidence-based methods such as CBT, ACT, and person-centered therapy. Clients benefit from gaining greater self-awareness, learning practical coping strategies, and developing new perspectives that foster growth and resilience. Together, we work toward creating meaningful change, improving emotional well-being, and building a stronger sense of self.
