I use several research-based theories for individual counseling CBT, DBT & ACT. These theories provide practical skills that can help you gain a better understanding of yourself. By reframing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we can reduce emotional suffering. In my work as a mental health nurse, I have had the privilege of working with many people struggling with difficult situations and trauma. My approach is to be present, empathetic, and to understand the clients’ prospective. Relationships take hard work and commitment. Giving each person a place to voice their side of the story and be heard by their partner can often iron out the wrinkles in a relationship & help couples reconnect.

Our team has completed various types of professional development and training in psychotherapy. We are able to incorporate elements of CBT, DBT, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Attachment Theory, Mentalization, Solution Focused, and Coaching. We also meet regularly to learn from each other, ensuring we are able to deliver the highest quality of care to our clients. The YYZ Talks difference is our dedication to professional growth.

I am a transformative and depth psychotherapist. This means that I look beyond the symptoms in order to assist my clients in discovering a more meaningful and fulfilling way to cope with life's inevitable dips and conflicts. It does little long lasting good to treat only the consequences of deeply ensconced processes that we have little knowledge of. While working with me, my clients and I go to where the root cause of their issues reside and gently and safely observe them and understand them with the ultimate goal of gaining control over them.

Psychotherapy provides a safe and confidential space to explore and address various mental health concerns. Through therapy, individuals can gain a better understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It can help develop coping skills, improve communication and interpersonal relationships , and enhance self-esteem and self-confidence. Furthermore, psychotherapy offers support during challenging times, promotes personal growth, and empowers individuals to make positive changes in their lives.

Through the use of various therapeutic modalities and interventions, I work with individuals, couples and children to understand and address problematic thoughts, feelings and behaviours. I will assist you in identifying your preferred self-identity and together, we will explore new perspectives, working toward improving your relationships and helping you act in congruence with the values and beliefs that are most important to you.

When you feel overwhelmed by your problems and unable to cope, you may benefit from psychotherapy. Psychotherapy I provide, helps with a range of different challenges: from depression, anxiety, phobias, bipolar and low self-esteem to addiction and family conflicts. In the process, you’ll learn how to cope with difficult situations in a more adaptive way, understand yourself better, your own goals and values, develop skills for improving relationships and overcome specific problems such as eating disorder, depression or phobias among others. I work from a variety of modalities: cognitive behavioural therapy, interpersonal therapy, mindfulness, narrative, solution focused, family therapy

As opposed to many of the behaviourally-based (simple fix) treatments available today, psychotherapy involves going deeper. This might include looking at coping skills or patterns you developed as a child which, though they served you well then, may be getting in the way of your life now. Psychotherapy is less about learning tools, and more about developing insights about oneself and one's loved ones. While many therapies today focus on changing behaviour in the here and now, psychotherapy often involves looking at what may underlie emotional or relational patterns, such as having difficulty saying no, or struggling to trust others. It involves being more honest and authentic with oneself.

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.

If you are new to this, welcome to the world Psychotherapy! It is a process of self-awareness geared to improve the relationship with yourself and others. Most physical and emotional symptoms we suffer from are a reflection of the stress and struggles we face. My approach includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness which are traditional approaches to treat most common issues. These can be integrated with Clinical Hypnotherapy, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and Biofeedback. Both, therapist and you should be comfortable with the approach utilized to maximize results. You may decide to follow the treatment in person, or online. Looking forward to working with you!

Psychotherapy is a form of talk therapy that helps you examine your qualities and characteristics aiming to assist you with an enhanced awareness of yourself and your relationships with others in order to foster healthy growth and development. Getting to know one another in the counselling context involves entering into a mutually agreed upon course of counselling specifically designed to assist you in your journey toward recovery, healing and optimal health and functioning. It does take courage and it is important for you to feel comfortable and connect with your counsellor. I look forward to discussing this further with you. Contact me for further information.

If therapy were to be successful for you, what would be different in your life? How would you know that this process was a good use of your time and money? - How you answer those questions is very important, those answers set the (initial) destination as we set out on this journey together. Client directed therapy means that your goals are the compass that guides our work, and we will regularly check in to assess what is working and not working in helping you reach those goals. Every client is different, and our work will be built on proven modalities and techniques, while also being specific to you.

Talk therapy provides an opportunity to learn skills that will keep the emotional "trash can" empty and help develop a healthy self. Healthy emotions stimulate the human fueling system promoting positive growth, strength to create solutions and manage life challenges. Maintaining a healthy emotional/spiritual system is as important to life as sustaining a healthy heart. The emotional, physcial and spiritual persons are team players in the "game of life". Each player has a specific position in the game of life and is dependant on the other players to score health and wellness. Ignoring any one of these players for too long will affect their ability to score life goals: happiness, peace.

I primarily use Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to support individuals, couples and families to get the supportive relationships they need to be safe, secure and grow in life. EFT is designed to provide opportunities to express vulnerable emotions to loved ones so that one can be clearly understood and valued by the most important people in your life. Even in individual therapy, there are powerful techniques used to safely access unacknowledged (often painful) emotions in connection to oneself and others. EFT is based on our knowledge of the importance of close bonds with others and has over 20 years of research that verifies its success. Call me for a confidential consult.

As an interactive, solution-focused counsellor, I provide support and practical feedback to help clients to effectively address and resolve childhood trauma, emotional dysfunction and unmet developmental needs. My aim is to help clients to break out of predictable cycles and provide a safe place where healing can occur.

I suspect you are reading this because you are wanting to understand yourself more and because you know you have some healing to do! Perhaps a close friend or relative has lovingly suggested (or maybe not so lovingly?!) that you need to get working on your issues, the things that are interfering with you moving forward into more satisfying relationships with others, yourself and God. After almost 30 years of counselling individuals and families, I still count it a privilege to be able to help people make sense of their unique story and to find ways to grow and change and become the person they were meant to be! I would be delighted to help you!!

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.

Psychotherapy allows you to have a space to express the thoughts and feelings you have been struggling with. Individual psychotherapy sessions aim to understand your worldview and gain insight by linking your issues from possible reoccurring life patterns. A personalized treatment plan will be collaboratively made depending on the problem you are struggling with and the outcomes you are hoping to get from therapy.

Life can be hard. Help is here for you. Challenges and problems are part of life. It's good to reach out for help. You are the expert in your life, in your goals, values and aspirations. I am here to provide tools, accountability, support, encouragement and help in revealing to you all your inner awesomeness. I have unwavering confidence in your capabilities and potential, even when you find it hard to see them.

Psychotherapy is a collabortive process between the therapist and client. Together, we explore and adjust your thoughts, feelings and behaviors that may be maintining a depressed mood, anxiety, or problems in your relationships. We work together to solve problems, and to improve your over all sense of well-being. Psychotherapy requires a safe and supportive client therapist relationship, and my relaxed and friendly approach facilitates this therapeutic process.

Through the use of acceptance and mindfulness strategies, I can help clients to be fully present in the moment and to accept otherwise negative emotions. Commitment and behavior change strategies help clients to change or persist in behaviors more in line with their own values. Used together these strategies increase client’s psychological flexibility.
