The gift of pain, is that it is designed to move us out of negative patterns, toxic relationships and draining situations. I believe that people have the wisdom and the answers inside of them, but need support to identify and remove whatever is in the way of accessing and acting upon that wisdom. I assist in this with a combination of approaches that include looking at beliefs, patterns and narratives that you are operating from, and exploring ways to shift those patterns and beliefs. Sometimes we may need to engage in ways to access information that is non-verbal, using art therapy, journal prompts, and dreamwork to help you align with the life that you feel good about and want to be in.

Psychotherapy has been with humankind since our origins. However, about a century ago, psychologists tried to systematize and formalize psychotherapeutic interventions and, depending on their worldview and perspectives on human nature, they created various approaches that currently exceed 400, which can be confusing and misleading. A successful psychotherapy, regardless of the lenses and title, should acknowledge that every person has a unique mind and, as a result, a unique mental world. The therapist’s job is to help the client explore this world in a supportive environment. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

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.

My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative, compassionate, and anti-oppressive, creating a safe space where clients feel seen, heard, and respected for their unique identities and experiences. I use emotionally focused and attachment-informed methods while actively acknowledging and addressing systemic barriers, power dynamics, and social inequities that may impact well-being. Clients benefit by gaining clarity, self-understanding, and practical tools to navigate challenges, build healthier relationships, and make empowered choices, all within a framework that values equity, inclusion, and personal agency.

Psychotherapy is a specialized form of therapy focused on deep, long-term change by exploring the root causes of emotional and psychological issues.

My approach aims to foster profound personal growth and lasting healing by understanding and transforming the underlying factors affecting your well-being. As a dedicated psychotherapist, I offer a transformative approach to explore and address the root causes of your challenges. Please schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit.

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.

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.

In all of the work that I do with clients, there are some primary goals: Promote understanding and eliminate ambiguity. It is only through understanding that we can create comprehensive and meaningful change. I also focus quite heavily on exploring tools and treatment methods with my clients so that they can find their desired change. I incorporate elements of cognitive and behavioural interventions along with a myriad of psychological principles into my psychotherapeutic work.
