I define psychotherapy as a valuable relationship where one can experience safety, support and quality, professional care. I offer an eclectic style of counselling utilizing a variety of models and techniques tailored to the specific needs and personality of the individual. My philosophy for counselling and personal moral framework are based upon the Word of God. I pray and depend upon the Holy Spirit for His wisdom and leadership throughout the therapy process.

My approach to psychotherapy is founded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy but also blends other therapies. I will teach you the basics of the type of therapy that is most relevant to your problem. We will then work to apply the therapy to your specific issue. We will practice the skills that are taught and you will be given work to do at home. You will then report back about how the strategies are being implemented at home to allow us to tweak the skills to have them work best for you! Ultimately, you will be much better at managing your own issues independently!

Through individual therapy, I can help one to address personal, educational, and professional challenges by way of identifying the issues, and exploring solutions.

As a psychotherapist I have long experienced that it is precisely through the process of verbalizing thoughts that my clients are able to gain a clear sense of their reality--words clarify the vagueness of ideas. And once a reality is expressed, then a client can move toward acceptance of that reality and toward understanding of how to shape that reality in a way that best meets their needs and aspirations.

I work with Carl Roger's 'Client Centered Therapy". I use the 'sounding board' approach to help people interiorize and reach to the root of their problem. The idea is to help people find their own answers and solutions. A very efficient and successful non-threathening approach. I also use Ericksonian clinical hypnotherapy for regression and past lives management. I use breathing and relaxation methods to support a technique called progressive desensitization for the control and elimination of fears and phobias.

For over 25 years I have been working with individuals and couples to help them with their particular issues and problems so that they may achieve emotional health as well as relationship and career goals. Each client has a unique situation and set of issues, be it anxiety, stress, depression, substance abuse, grief, personal growth, relationship issues, aging, illness, etc ; each problem has a unique set of tools and strategies to select for its solution. Together we will meet and identify the problem(s); I will propose a treatment plan and together we will discuss the plan as well as determine whether the match between therapist and client is a solid one in order to move forward.

I'm registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario as a Clinical and Counselling Psychological Associate. I work with adults and couples and am able to accept all insurance benefits, and can diagnose. I use an integrated psychotherapeutic approach bringing together techniques from many effective and validated therapies including cognitive behavioural, object relations, emotion-focused, and solution-focused resulting in a very understanding, knowledgeable and effective approach.

My approach to psychotherapy is to use evidence-based techniques built upon a humanistic foundation and is tailored to each individual and may draw upon a variety of theoretical orientations. While the environment will be safe, it will also be a challenge as it will provide the platform from which you can explore yourself, your challenges and resources to foster personal growth. This is done through insight and awareness into your unique personal experience. Together, we will navigate your inner landscape to try and understand what is working and not working for you and how your values align with your actions and relationships.

Do you feel like you need to make a change in your life, but can’t seem to find a way forward? Psychotherapy and counselling can help individuals gain self-awareness and the personal growth process. Seeking psychotherapy can be an overwhelming task, so I want to use this opportunity to applaud, and you for taking the first to mental wellness.

My approach to psychotherapy is a collaborative approach that is based on building trust and providing a safe and compassionate space for my clients to be able to explore their internal world and make sense of their thoughts, emotions and behaviours that are not serving them in a way they wish for. My goal for my clients is to change their relationship with themselves first and for most by developing internal safety and self-compassion so they could change their relationship with others and feel safe enough in the world to enjoy life. Psychotherapy helps clients to understand why they do what they do and acquire agency to choose how they want show up in the world.

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.

The approach I like to use in psychotherapy is to begin with ensuring a close bond or alliance can be quickly established where there is active listening, an opportunity for establishing trust and allowing empathy to flourish. Only then can we then challenge any distortions in thinking, help with the managing of emotions that may be overwhelming and distressful to a client. Also, assisting with searching for solutions and really serving to change the narrative either in part or altogether so there can develop a more hopeful and optimistic attitude. Examining and naming attachment wounds from childhood that may interfere with couple/family relationship dynamic in the present.

As a Registered Psychotherapist part of what I offer is psychotherapy which is a further in-depth exploration of issues that are bothering you. Together, we will explore the origins and roots of these issues to better understand how your past has impacted you and how it is perhaps continuing to impact you today. From there, we will collaboratively work on a plan to determine how to use that information in order to allow you to work through your current challenges.

We can all agree that sometimes it simply feels good to talk to someone. All the better when we know with absolute confidence that the person we are talking to is not going to judge us. Psychotherapy is, in its purest form, talk therapy. At Uniquely You, therapy does not require an agenda. Instead, the process of therapy is constructed to suit you. It is compassionate, non-judgmental, and realistic; the goal is to help you get on the path of living YOUR best life, whatever that may look like.

As a clinician, I have a strong knowledge-base and experience in using evidence-based psychotherapy techniques. I use a number of different psychotherapy modalities including cognitive-behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, EMDR therapy, and Adlerian psychology. By working with clients using psychotherapeutic techniques, clients gain the skills such as cognitive restructuring, to create lasting, concrete, positive changes in their lives.

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 approach to psychotherapy is kind, curious, and practical. I provide clients with a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental environment from which to explore the issues that may be preventing them from experiencing a full and well life. I support children, youth, and families in learning to identify and access their inner strengths and resiliencies.

Psychological treatment involves a comprehensive assessment and evaluation of current psychological symptoms, and psychotherapy that addresses the root causes of a specific psychological disorder. Research affirms that individuals do improve as a result of psychotherapy, particularly when they are committed to the process. In an initial session, your mental health professional will work with you in a collaborative fashion to identify treatment goals. He or she will also collect basic demographic data, obtain your consent to the treatment you are to receive, and inquire as to any questions you may have about the course of treatment that has been discussed.

Psychotherapy is specifically designed to help you become more aware of your mind so you can move out of negative patterns of reactivity into a place of responsiveness, where you get to choose how you wish to respond to anything happening in your life. Since your mind is both conscious and unconscious, what's not fully conscious often has the most power in our decision making and our behaviour. It's why you may find yourself saying or doing things you said you never do. Through the process of psychotherapy, we're here to help you grow your awareness of your mind so you can feel empowered in your life.

Psychotherapy is the essence of my practice. Using the modalities of psychotherapy, I aim to help individuals, families and couples live a more content life, making changes to their lives that help them live more content and productive lives. Psychotherapy can help you understand yourself, your behaviour, and your relationships better, enabling you to live your life aware of your strengths, blindspots and goals and how to achieve them.
