I've heard a lot of people tell me that they thought "therapy was only for crazy people". It's not. Psychotherapy can keep you from going crazy! Having a trained professional to assist you in making sense of your life can be a very "un-crazy" thing to do. Besides, the process can actually be fun and enjoyable. In additon, I offer body-oriented psychotherapy which integrates the awareness of the body in helping you to manage intense emotions or physical symptoms.

I customize my interventions to the needs, preferences and directions of my clients to provide a comfortable, sensitive, empowering and effective experience.

I facilitate powerful, measurable, client-centred results, quickly. As a seasoned Registered Psychotherapist I bring strong therapy skills, an extensive knowledge base and many years of experience to serve you. I have a broad pallet of modalities that I use including Hypnosis Cognitive Behaviour (CBT) and Narrative Therapies, and alternative approaches.

When we engage in therapy together I learn about who you are, how you act, and identify any patterns of behaviour or thought that emerge through this learning. The success of your therapy depends on your willingness to participate and on the relationship that we build together. My approach is gentle, kind, curious and open. Together we define the goals you have for yourself and explore what keeps you from reaching them.

Psychotherapy is a talk therapy with proven research and evidence-based interventions. It is a confidential and safe space where clients can explore different aspects of their emotional pain with an empathic counselor.

Combining these two methods gives me a comprehensive and in-depth awareness of assisting individuals, couples, and families through their growth journey. Through the initial assessment, I will help you establish goals for therapy that are practical and achievable. Psychotherapy is a safe space to explore your any challenges you are facing.

Through a compassionate lens, I help individuals and couples foster a sense of perspective and understanding so they can meet their needs. I strive to make each person feel at ease to openly discuss what is on their mind while integrating various approaches based on the individual needs to get immediate and long-term positive changes. My ultimate hope is to support my clients in developing the confidence and belief in themselves to move through life’s challenges by leaning towards truly self-compassionate actions.
