Find a Therapist in Peterborough, Ontario.

I have a deep belief in the healing power of psychotherapy as a means to connect with ourselves, our loved ones, our intuition, and heal traumatic wounds. I came to a love of therapy, through the transformative power it has had for myself, and continues to have. I appreciate and value all you have been through and where you are now and will work with you from this place. I approach therapy as a collaboration between you and I, where you are respected and honoured. I work with you through a relational lens, to acknowledge all that connects you and has harmed you within the context of relationship. If it is of interest to you, I can also work with you on embodiment and somatic experiencing.

Psychotherapy will help you understand yourself and your behaviour. By talking to a trained therapist you will gain insight into yourself and awareness of why you do what you do, and ways to change it. Psychotherapy looks at what you think, believe, and feel, and how that affects the way you live your life. By changing how you think, you can change how you believe, and change how you feel.

Therapy can provide a safe emotional space in which your experiences can be explored with the support of a therapist. Throughout my work with clients, I bring an authentic, compassionate, and curious presence and strive to help clients access their own inherent wisdom, strength, and resilience. I work with individuals, couples and families. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit for therapy.

My starting point in any work I do with clients is to build a strong connection between us. This done through listening, respect, creating safety, and really being present with the client when we are together. I believe this is vital to any therapy I do. I provide an atmosphere that the client can feel heard and seen for who they are. Every session may look different because it is based on the clients needs, situation, and goals for therapy.

Psychotherapy is an approach to treating mental health issues by talking with a psychotherapist or another mental health provider. It is also known as talk therapy, counseling, psychosocial therapy, or therapy. In psychotherapy, we engage in a "conversation" exploring your emotions and how they impact your ability to function. We also identify how emotions, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors are connected and how to use them to develop better coping skills to manage your life and regain control over your life. Psychotherapy can help you feel more accomplished and well-rounded.

I am a registered psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario (CRPO) and a registered social worker with the Ontario College of Social Work and Social Services Worker (OCSWSSW). I have worked many years in an hospital outpatient community mental health clinic and I have decided to divide my time between there and a part time private practice.

I use psychotherapy for both long term and short term benefit.

We will look at past trauma/issues that have created psychological blocks and work on resolving them in order to create healthy change and transformation.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner.

Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

Individual therapy is focused on your unique needs and goals. Individual therapy includes learning about your history and life experiences then establishing goals to accomplish in counselling. Our histories are the roots that provide us with a foundation of strength and resilience. But, our histories can also hold the stories that cause pain, insecurity and doubt. It is our belief that the best therapy comes from helping to heal the roots that cause those stuck points. Through this we can create lasting change.
