My approach to psychotherapy integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, and Somatic Experiencing to develop a deep connection between mind and body. I emphasize the importance of tuning into how the body experiences emotions and life events, recognizing that bodily sensations are key indicators of our emotional states. By addressing and accepting these emotions, people can open new pathways for handling life’s challenges. This method encourages not just coping, but thriving through a holistic understanding and acceptance of one’s feelings, leading to innovative solutions and healthier approaches to life's difficulties.

Psychotherapy is a talk therapy with proven research and evidence-based interventions.

Combining these two methods gives me a comprehensive and in-depth awareness of assisting individuals, couples, and families through their growth journey.

I utilize an eclectic and collaborative approach to psychotherapy with my clients, drawing from evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and narrative therapy. Additionally, I believe strongly in harnessing your own inner strengths and motivations to build sustainable change.

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.

Do you have a junk drawer in your home? I like to think of therapy like emptying out and organizing your junk drawer. Trauma and stress disorganizes our brain. Memories and experiences are scrambled and coping skills are hidden. Therapy lets us empty out those drawers, put them in order, throw out the things we no longer need, and find the things we’ve been searching for.

As a therapist, I've witnessed the transformative power of psychotherapy firsthand. Beyond offering a safe and confidential space, therapy provides individuals with invaluable tools for self-discovery and personal growth. Through introspection and dialogue, clients gain insight into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, empowering them to navigate life's challenges with greater clarity and resilience. Psychotherapy fosters a deeper understanding of oneself and others, leading to healthier relationships and improved communication skills. The journey of psychotherapy is empowerment, self-compassion, and lasting change, guiding clients toward a more fulfilling and authentic life.

I use several research-based theories for individual counseling CBT, DBT & ACT. These theories provide practical skills that can help you gain a better understanding of yourself. By reframing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we can reduce emotional suffering. In my work as a mental health nurse, I have had the privilege of working with many people struggling with difficult situations and trauma. My approach is to be present, empathetic, and to understand the clients’ prospective. Relationships take hard work and commitment. Giving each person a place to voice their side of the story and be heard by their partner can often iron out the wrinkles in a relationship & help couples reconnect.

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.

My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in post-modernism and occupies a systemic lens and strengths-based perspective. I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives, and my role is to help make sense of their experiences and facilitate their confidence in implementing the changes they want to see. Further, I believe that any emotion, reaction or feeling has its place and can be a normal response to specific circumstances. Part of my aim for therapy is to facilitate understanding to help clients move forward. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

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.

Close your eyes and imagine yourself sitting in a movie theatre (on second thought keep them open -- it'll make it much easier to keep reading). Now imagine the movie that's playing on the screen is your life. Psychotherapy is like a private screening of your life's movie with a trained expert. It's a place where you'll get to collaboratively review, discuss, and revise aspects of your movie, all from the unique perspective of someone in the audience. You choose which clips to play and we'll cue 'em up together. The experience should be fun, fascinating, and meaningful to you -- everything you'd expect from the cost of admission! https://www.intunecounselling.com/blog/the-audience-effect

As opposed to many of the behaviourally-based (simple fix) treatments available today, psychotherapy involves going deeper. This might include looking at coping skills or patterns you developed as a child which, though they served you well then, may be getting in the way of your life now. Psychotherapy is less about learning tools, and more about developing insights about oneself and one's loved ones. While many therapies today focus on changing behaviour in the here and now, psychotherapy often involves looking at what may underlie emotional or relational patterns, such as having difficulty saying no, or struggling to trust others. It involves being more honest and authentic with oneself.

Solution-focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a form of evidence-based psychotherapy that is different from most therapies. Its purpose is to listen to what may be bothering you and focus on supporting you to verbally construct the differences you would hope to see instead. SFBT is a question-focused and change-oriented approach that guides you to view a challenge in your life from a different perspective. Its purpose is to inspire, create hope, and maintain your autonomy.

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.
