For over 10 years I have worked with individuals, couples, parents and families. My expertise is in fostering relationships within ourselves as well as with one another. I love conversations that draw on the importance of the client-therapist relationship, and have found this to be such a depth of potential healing for clients. I also supervise other therapists, for nearly 10 years now, and have found this work to be so rewarding. My biggest passion in my work is including nature in the healing journey. I have witnessed my clients outside with mother earth in countless moments of deep profound healing that I can only name as magical.

The key to choosing a psychotherapist is finding someone whom you genuinely trust, connect with, and feel comfortable opening up to. I offer a free 30 minute consultation session to help you determine if I’m the right fit. My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in self-compassion and empathy. Using an informal, conversational style, I provide my clients with the emotional support, comfort, and guidance they need to grow. Using methods from Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I assist my clients in developing successful coping skills that empower them to lead a more genuine and satisfying life.

In psychotherapy, I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences at a pace that feels safe. My approach is collaborative and integrative, drawing from evidence-based methods to help clients understand themselves more deeply, heal from emotional wounds, and build resilience. Whether you’re facing anxiety, trauma, depression, or life transitions, I tailor the work to your unique needs and goals. Clients often experience greater self-awareness, emotional relief, and empowerment to create meaningful change in their lives.

Human behaviour is incredibly complex. Each person has their own unique life experiences, some pleasurable and some emotionally and mentally stressful. Counselling and psychotherapy can be powerful tools for facilitating healing, fostering a deeper understanding of one's life experiences, and providing tools to better cope with life's challenges; especially when the treatment approach reflects the uniqueness of a person's life. I offer counselling and psychotherapy for adult men. Together, we develop the ideal treatment approach that best helps them achieve their therapeutic goals, equip them to better handle life’s setbacks and help them to live with a renewed sense of hope and optimism.

Sometimes we don't feel connected. Not only to our partners and family but to life in general. We feel like we are searching for some elusive ideal which we can neither explain or label, leaving us feeling like we are wandering in circles. Using a Jungian and Adlerian approach and dream analysis, I have found that people have been able to break free from the role of the nomad. This approach can require a much longer commitment from clients who are seeking a deeper epiphany about themselves and their lives.

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.

With over 30 years of experience—and a life shaped by nonlinear exploration, motherhood, music, and complexity—I humbly believe that I offer my clients psychotherapy that’s both skilled and deeply human. I do my best to meet you where you are, not where someone or society says you “should” be. I profoundly believe these words of wisdom from Jon Kabat-Zinn: "As long as you are breathing, there is more right with you than wrong with you, no matter what is wrong." My clients would say that therapy with me is a blend of evidence-based tools with compassion and curiosity, a blend that helps you shift patterns, understand yourself more fully, and reconnect with what gives life meaning - for YOU.

Although often used interchangeably there are some subtle differences between counselling and psychotherapy. Counselling can be thought of as relatively short term with an individual seeking out solutions to a particular issue they are dealing with. It is often concerned with an individual’s behaviour, targeting a particular symptom or problem situation, and is supportive. Psychotherapy, on the other hand, is usually longer term, focusing more on physical and/or emotional problems which either persist for some time or keep recurring. Rather than dealing with a specific problem, psychotherapy challenges an individual’s belief systems and core values.

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.

Psychotherapy allows for personal challenges to be addressed. Through a warm, therapeutic relationship in which individuals, couples, and families are permitted to discuss these issues, my aim is to assist in resolving them. Although many forms of therapy exist to do so, sensitivity will be provided to ensure the client ultimately dictates which ones are to be used. Whether it is amending destructive thoughts, accepting thoughts and feelings that are beyond our control, or utilizing strengths within to formulate new solutions, therapy will be structured to facilitate therapeutic goals in the manner most beneficial to the client.

I offer a unique form of Psychotherapy that uses therapeutic art making combined with talking therapy. I use these techniques to guide my clients through a process of self-discovery and help them achieve a stronger sense of well-being. Creating art is an extension of self onto a canvas, which allows my clients to have a means of observing their emotions and inner thoughts, as well as a non-threatening way to express them. Through this, my clients can learn to understand their own behaviours, thought patterns, emotions, and moods. With this technique, my clients can learn to take control of their lives and manage their emotions.

My approach includes using strength-based, client centred therapies in practice and recognizing that clients are resilient and have the ability to connect with themselves to find answers to any of life’s problems. Other modalities which are helpful include solution focused brief therapy and narrative therapy, whereby clients are able to recognize and build on their hopes. Clients will benefit from psychotherapy, as their negative thoughts will be challenged, resulting in decreased self-blame.

Therapy with me is a space where you don’t need to have the right words or clear answers. We start with whatever’s bringing you in—whether it’s a specific struggle or a general feeling that something isn’t working—and we take it from there. This is a process of change, not a quick fix. Often, the issues we’re facing now are tied to experiences we’ve had before—sometimes in ways we haven’t fully recognized. Together, we’ll work to understand how your past and present connect, how certain patterns keep repeating, and where there might be room for something new.

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.

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 a talk-based therapy in which folks can explore their concerns related to life challenges, stressors, mental health and well-being in a non-judgemental space. I believe that “individual” concerns go beyond the individual and are deeply connected to the way we interact with the world and others. As such, my approach to psychotherapy draws on systemic therapies that focus on broader sociocultural influences, intersections of identity and relational patterns. I value collaboration, authenticity and anti-oppressive practice in the therapeutic space. Contact me for a free consultation to determine if we would be a good fit.

In life, we go through experiences that are very hard to talk about. We may not fully understand what happened to us or how to deal with it, or even express it. Therapy is a place to sort it out. It’s a space to increase understanding and grow skills and strength. It’s also an opportunity to make a connection to another human being and, through it, begin healing from the wounds that life has given us. I would like to be here for you on this inner journey and support you as you recover. I have dedicated my life to my own journey and helping others as well over the past 18 years. I encourage you to reach out and unburden yourself by sharing your story with someone who understands.

I work with individuals, couples and families. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit for therapy.

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.

As a systems therapist, the biopsychosocial spiritual framework for wellness plays a role in the care that I provide.

I collaborate with clients to determine and establish goals for therapy and develop treatment plans. Through this process, clients gain insights into the issues they have presented in therapy and learn strategies for addressing them.
