You can work through your life issues! Psychotherapy is different from counseling. Counseling is working with current life issues and discussing them, processing emotions, and creating action plans to improve issues. Psychotherapy is deeper healing work where we explore how your current life in various areas has potentially been impacted by your early life and your life until now, and the beliefs and schemas that you formulated through those. We work with both the past and present simultaneously to heel wounds that occurred, big or small, and how to transform those into shifted behavior in the now. We will work with your thoughts, your emotions, and your behaviors in a manner that is unique.

As a gestalt psychotherapist, who pairs gestalt training with somatic experiencing I can help support you in healing from your trauma. No one in the Niagara Region utilizes the combination of these therapies and applies them to working with couples in crisis. I am sorry to say but popular approaches to healing trauma like CBT will provide only temporary relief at best. If you want to get to the root of your trauma and heal somatic experiencing (SE) is what you need and when supported with the power of relational gestalt therapy you will shift your shit! SE focuses on regulating your nervous system. Gestalt focuses on awareness, contact and authenticity, it will help being relational.

Many of my psychotherapy clients indicate their psychotherapy experience to be very positive. I strive to provide a safe atmosphere where you will feel free to share your thoughts and feelings and life experiences. Together, we first explore the early roots of your situation to see where any early influences are continuing to affect you in your present day living and relationships. We also see where the real self may have been blocked or held down from self expression. The work assists in the recovery of the Real Self, which many indicate feels like clarity and liberation. In addition, the current issues that require treatment be they relationships, work, family, are also dealt with.

Everyone has a mirror in their house, we can't fully know who we are and what we look like without looking in a mirror. Psychotherapy is the mirror of your character. Having the courage to be willing to examine your thoughts and behaviors in therapy takes guts! It doesn't show that you are weak it shows that you have the strength of character to take a honest look at your life so that you can make yourself into your best self. Your life is a precious diamond, polish it and let it shine with your brilliance.

Psychotherapy has the power to improve a person's view of life and increase their confidence in themselves. It can help the person heal from a variety of events as well as encourage positive body-mind relations to improve the overall quality of life. Transpersonal therapy takes a holistic approach to healing /therapy by focusing not only on the mind but the wellness of the spirit. It hones in on the physical, mental, social, emotional, creative, and intellectual needs of the individual. This personalized approach facilitates healing and growth for a happier and healthier adult.

I have a relational, and empathetic approach to psychotherapy. My work is also informed by a number of theories and modalities of therapy. Attachment theory, family systems theory, and human development theory are lenses which enable me to see and understand patterns and processes in one's life which are creating unfulfilling outcomes. I work with clients in a relational and integrative way bringing understanding and emotional healing to situations. This frequently creates a paradigm shift which becomes transformative in the life of the client.

I view psychotherapy as a way to help gain understanding, clarity and a different perspective. When we adjust or shifting our perspectives, explore our inner resources, and identify our challenges, we start the journey to a more fulfilling life. I believe in collaboration and a nonjudgmental partnership. With the goal to ultimately help clients to define their own version of success, create new patterns of behavior and engage fully in their lives.

First, I have to admit I’m biased. I was a client and caring and loving psychotherapists helped me save my own life back in the 1970’s, so I’m sold on it. You’ll often find that therapists who’ve been through that journey find they have a huge drive to help others find there own way through to themselves. I’m one of them. You can find who you really are and discover that it’s much more than you dreamed you could be.

The process of therapy helps people step back, and look at things through the lens of an objective observer. In this way, individuals start to see strengths within themselves. As they see these strengths, with a therapist's help, people begin to make gradual changes in their lives. Adults, adolescents, & children see me in my practice in downtown Toronto for individual, couples, and family counseling. Their problems include anxiety, stress, depression, parent-child conflict, marital distress, trauma, and grief & bereavement.

I work with clients using a two-pronged approach - both practical and in-depth. Practical strategies are important in dealing with the management of feelings, anxieties and relationship issues but an in-depth understanding of unmet needs and how to address them is essential for long-term healing. I form-fit the approach, as best I can, to meet a client's goals for therapy.

My approach to therapy produces powerful results and allows the individual to heal at a profound and deep level. By encouraging clients to be authentic, conscious and aware I provide fundamentals that support spiritual growth. Healing takes place when we address both our dark and our light sides. Building self-esteem and a healthy ego, establishing boundaries and getting our needs met are very important. I use 2 main modalities Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. Psychotherapy is my passion and having said that I have always known people to feel exceptionally comfortable to share their life’s journey with me.

Within my specialized psychotherapy practice with couples, I utilize a form of psychotherapy known as "Emotionally Focused Therapy". This is the gold standard of evidence-based treatment for couples.

I am passionate about connecting with people, understanding where they are coming from, and working with them to re-engage in their lives with greater intentionality. I guarantee a warm, compassionate, authentic, creative, and respectful approach to psychotherapy. I value both flexibility, authenticity, and evidence-based, effective treatment. That is why I practice from therapies that are backed by scientific evidence in treating a range of psychological concerns with the benefit of being inherently flexible to practice. I largely use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in my practice, although I also draw upon my training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for certain concerns.

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.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

My education and work experience serves as the foundation to my counselling philosophy; Individuals can reach their goals and defy their own limits. Using a strength based approach, I believe everyone understands how to be successful. I support individuals to work through challenges that stop them from doing what they already know. I am passionate in helping individuals overcome barriers. It is a privilege to have individuals share their goals with me, in confidence.

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.
