Kindred Hope Wellness' team of psychotherapists provides psychotherapy for clients. In doing so, we can address anxiety, stress, depression, self-esteem, relationships, and many other concerns you may carry. Our team's approach is acknowledging that you are the expert in your life and your therapist is here to listen, guide, and support you. Each individual is unique, so the main approach is to find what fits you best by collaborating together to walk on your journey.

Do you have a junk drawer in your home? I like to think of therapy like emptying out and organizing your junk drawer. Trauma and stress disorganizes our brain. Memories and experiences are scrambled and coping skills are hidden. Therapy lets us empty out those drawers, put them in order, throw out the things we no longer need, and find the things we’ve been searching for.

If you choose to enter therapy, this is a place where you will be able to share and grow in a space that is caring, non-judgmental, supportive, safe and compassionate. You will benefit from building a strong relationship with the therapist by carrying over the skills you learn in this relationship into your other relationships, outside of therapy. You will be able to examine what is working and what is not working about your life, and what you want to change. You choose what is discussed. I am interested to understand your experiences, thoughts, and feelings and to help you feel more empowered, by guiding you to find new choices. We can work on childhood issues, if you wish.

A psychodynamic approach to counselling focuses on patterns of relationship, often helpful in understanding how early experiences might be affecting you in the present. Especially helpful for untangling ‘baggage’ which may be holding you back in your current relationships and attitudes to others. Understanding how your current attitudes and ways of interacting with others are caught up in old hurts can free you to choose more constructive ways forward.

In Individual therapy you will work one-on-one with a trained therapist in a safe, caring, and confidential environment so you can explore your feelings and beliefs and why you behave the way you do. We will work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of your life that they would like to change, or maybe just better understand yourself, set personal goals, and work toward your desired change.

Psychotherapy can mean many things to many people, from help with personal growth, an opportunity to unlearn a bad habit, a quest for insight or improved self-awareness, to a search for meaning in life or the aim of improving self-esteem. Whatever your goal for therapy, together we can discover the ways and means that make most sense to you while you control every step of our journey together. Call me whenever you are ready to embrace the positive changes that therapy has to offer you.

Psychotherapy is a journey with a therapist working on the issues that you are concerned with. In this journey, you and your therapist work collaboratively, respectfully and purposefully on your issues. In the course of the therapy, you and your therapist explore, learn skills, gain insights and make changes. With over 12 years of clinical experiences, I humbly and wholeheartedly want to walk this journey with you. I value strongly the rapport between the client and the therapist. I believe in a holistic view of wellbeing and emphasize in cultivating the mind wellness. I offer integrative approaches to meet your needs. Please don't hesitate to reach out and start to make the change now.

My approach to psychotherapy is client-centred and psychodynamic - we work together to tackle both day-to-day and lifelong difficulties, with you as the expert in your own experience, and me as a person who has some ideas and ways of seeing that may be helpful towards making the changes you want to see. I offer a warm, welcoming and safe space online so that you can talk about feelings and experiences that have felt uncomfortable and unsafe. I use an integrative approach using the multiple modalities I have been trained in, including Narrative, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, "parts work", somatic experiencing and breathwork.

Psychotherapy is an incredibly helpful tool to enhance our well-being and better understand ourselves. I have been studying various approaches for many years and am looking forward to helping you find the best one to fit your needs. I use elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy. I strive to create a warm, caring environment for you to work towards your personal goals.

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.
