Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner.

Are you feeling lost and alone? Struggling with overwhelming thoughts and emotions? If you're ready to take control of your mental well-being and find a path to healing, therapy can help. As a psychotherapist, I understand how difficult it can be to cope with feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress. With support and guidance, you can learn to manage these feelings and create a happier, more fulfilling life. Together, we will work on a personalized treatment plan that fits your unique needs and goals. I use powerful techniques and a warm, empathetic approach to help my clients gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and provide them with the tools they need to succeed.

My approach is to work collaboratively with clients using a holistic model of therapy which entails a blending of Eastern and Western modalities. For example, training in meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, proper exercise, a nutritious, science-based diet and maintaining proper sleep hygiene. Also, including talk therapy can then help to reveal core values and issues. Mindfulness training benefits clients in observing clearly thoughts and behaviours. Clients benefit greatly through the use of evidence based interventions by developing the skills needed to evaluate thought patterns and overcome destructive patterns.

Often we know what we need to do differently, it's not that we don't have the wisdom, it's that it can be hard to apply! Doing Psychotherapy with me is a gentle and compassionate process of uncovering and tending to the old wounds and patterns that can be steering our behaviour and leading us astray. This frees up the space to live in the present with mindfulness, and create the future that we dream of!

Our psychotherapy services are effective in helping clients meet their goals and live a happier, more meaningful life. Psychotherapy can be brief and solution focused, or more depth oriented, to help you explore the underlying factors causing distress and unhealthy patterns in your life. We will work with you to find the approach that best suits your needs and personality.

I offer a multidisciplinary and relational approach to psychotherapy that includes early attachment work and a sensitivity to intergenerational dynamics and trauma, with a holistic orientation and evidence-based techniques. The role of the body in healing is central to my work, as I draw on many somatic practices. I also work with the arts as a healing modality. On the part of my clients, no experience in the arts is necessary. Whichever therapeutic modality we choose as best suited to your current journey, we work with the fundamental creative drive that is present in all of us to encounter the many facets of your healing pilgrimage necessary for growth and lasting change.
