I primarily use Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to support individuals, couples and families to get the supportive relationships they need to be safe, secure and grow in life. EFT is designed to provide opportunities to express vulnerable emotions to loved ones so that one can be clearly understood and valued by the most important people in your life. Even in individual therapy, there are powerful techniques used to safely access unacknowledged (often painful) emotions in connection to oneself and others. EFT is based on our knowledge of the importance of close bonds with others and has over 20 years of research that verifies its success. Call me for a confidential consult.

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.

While I offer many coping strategies for life challenges, it is my passion to help you discover the cause of your anxiety, depression, grief, anger, conflict in relationships. Exploring your past trauma experiences, childhood history and family of origin, you may understand who you are and your responses in a new way. Listening, listing new options and action steps to think and feel differently are part of this counselling process.

Psychotherapy is sometimes called the "talking cure". It is the process of understanding both the conscious and unconscious parts of ourselves and how these inner dynamics shape our emotional life and patterns of behaviour. It isn't always easy, but this process can lead to an increased understanding of the forces shaping your inner life. Once this happens, you'll create new possibilities for change.

Clinical Neurofeedback an integrative approach of evidence base psychotherapies such as DBT, EMDR, IFS, CRM in combination to Neurofeedback. Combining Neurofeedback within psychotherapy is a transformational approach to rapidly increase the brain's neuroplasticity and nervous system regulation. With ongoing “brain training,” you can expect to go into deeper restful sleep, significantly reduce anxiety and depression, improve attention, focus and concentration. Neurofeedback can work along with medications or is an alternative to medication.

In addition to finding relief from symptoms such as anxiety and depression, I believe it is also necessary to look at the source of those symptoms. Not doing so would be akin to treating a physical ailment without looking for the cause. It is from this deeper work that lasting change and growth can come. As a depth-oriented psychotherapist, I work with people to gain insight, find meaning in their lives, and find more effective ways of being and relating to others. It is through this process that change, growth, and wholeness result. We all want happier, more fulfilling lives. I will help you work toward your goals.
