Find a Therapist in Quinte West, Ontario.

As an eclectic therapist I offer assistance that supports learning of new ways of thinking that gets reinforced through experimental behaviour that is rich in meaning to clients. This cognitive behavioural therapy is woven within a humanistic, culturally sensitive frame. Some of the learning includes sharing simple techniques that can gently and safely regulate emotions and the inhibit the sympathetic nervous system to reduce overwhelm and dial down anxiety. With self-applied acupressure, sensory integration techniques, hypnosis and powerful EMDR interventions, many clients are better able to cope with their lives and begin to imagine and go on to build a fulfilling future.

I embrace uniqueness and everyone's experiences ARE unique, they're ours. I approach each client with uniqueness and authenticity. I like to apply psychodynamic counselling and empowerment strategies to aid in better understanding our experiences and feelings while striving to build our voices and assert ourselves in the present and the future.

In all of the work that I do with clients, there are some primary goals: Promote understanding and eliminate ambiguity. It is only through understanding that we can create comprehensive and meaningful change. I also focus quite heavily on exploring tools and treatment methods with my clients so that they can find their desired change. I incorporate elements of cognitive and behavioural interventions along with a myriad of psychological principles into my psychotherapeutic work.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to discover parts of yourself that you feel have been lost, hurt or unheard. Psychotherapy takes many different forms, but you can expect to be heard, respected, valued and met with curiosity and compassion. My approach to psychotherapy is person centred, meaning that the client chooses the pace and the direction, while the therapist provides gentle guidance and encouragement to move deeper into understanding and self-compassion.
