Psychotherapy helps clients explore the past roots of the issues they are struggling with in order to make lasting changes. Unresolved issues from our childhood and the past can deeply impact our current lives. Past emotional injuries can be impacting our present in ways we are not always aware of. We provide a safe and supportive place to process past experiences in order to see lasting change.

Psychotherapy is often a journey into the self, an exploration into the caverns of our mind, our emotions, and our experiences. We will engage jointly in a journey that does not travel in a pre-determined direction. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, it's about honoring your unique narrative and creating a safe space to unpack your fears, hopes, dreams, and struggles. You'll gain self-awareness and practical strategies to create resilience and self-compassion.

My approach to psychotherapy is built on authenticity, compassion and collaboration. I take the time to foster a genuine connection in which both my clients and I can be ourselves. I offer a space in which clients feel heard, supported and not judged allowing them to feel safe to nurture positive growth. 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.

I have received instruction in a variety of different types of therapy, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Positive Psychology, Psychoanalysis, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I draw from all of these when I work with my clients, finding what will work best for the individual to address the concerns that brought them to therapy.

Clarity is everything! Psychotherapy for me is the process in which we help an individual bring clarity to their life. Stress, dysfunctional relationships, childhood neglect or trauma, loss or rejection, failure and crisis can all send us reeling. We lose our focus. We get off track. We become disoriented and lose our centre. Sometimes Psychotherapy is a process in which we reclaim our selves. In other cases we re-create ourselves, and yet in other cases we over come ourselves. Once we see clearly we begin to place the stepping-stones of intentional behaviour as we write our next chapters . . . now with clarity.

A depth approach that is "model free". I try to meet and understand my clients directly rather than seeing them through the lens of a psychotherapy model. This reflects my early training in chaplaincy where meeting the person was the primary focus and where learning to get yourself out of the way as fully as possible was the methodology

Psychotherapy can be life-changing; you may need a few sessions or more in-depth work, but we will collaborate to meet your needs. There are many types of psychotherapy, all of which involve talking to someone you can confide in and trust to have your best interests at heart. I offer a person-centred approach to meet your unique needs and work with you on your best strategy for meeting life’s challenges.

When it comes to mental health, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. The same is true for psychotherapy. Considering your unique needs and concerns, I draw on multiple therapeutic models to create a custom approach just for you. I also believe that therapy doesn't have to be stuffy. We'll share laughter and authentic human connection even as you're gaining insights into your issues and learning skills for addressing them.

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 am here to support you. My task is neither to “improve”, nor to “remake” you. I cannot replace you, I cannot act and live on behalf of you. However, I have been trained in the field of understanding how your mind is functioning and helping you to develop the skills to communicate. Together we can work on your issues and requests. We can explore your past and present to make connections. We will dig deeper to find roots of your beliefs and develop your inner resources so that you may flourish. When I see you feeling better, thinking clearly, acting efficiently, achieving more, I consider my task is accomplished.

The foundation of therapy is a trusting and supportive relationship where people can feel safe to explore themselves and the world around them. Each person comes to therapy with a unique story and as a therapist, I believe in providing a treatment experience that is as unique as the individual themselves. I provide therapy using a strengths-based and collaborative lens and foster healing through connection and empowerment. Book a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.
