Contrary to popular psychology, believing that just the right psychological theory, intervention and technique will act like a health-care “magic pill” that can make one’s worries suddenly disappear is mistaken. Most of the therapeutic change that happens during psychotherapy is due to the therapeutic alliance: rapport, relationship and resources. Rapport is about the connection the client and therapist feel for each other. Relationship is about the constructive cognitive/emotional exchanges and trust that a client and therapist build up over time. Resources are about how the therapist helps the client activate their existing emotions, thoughts and behaviours in service to healthy change.

By using an integrated approach, I have access to many different theoretical orientations that allow me to be prepared for whatever client may come through my door. Through a holistic lens, I take into consideration variables from many different areas, and by doing so, I learn about my clients as wonderfully complex and layered individuals who have their own unique needs. Through collaboration and feedback I work together with my clients to ensure that they are getting what they need during their time in counselling.

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

Using a personalized approach tailored to you, I help you discover what you need to flourish. As an engaged and empathetic listener, I provide a caring, supportive space to experiment and experience changes in action, thoughts, and belief. With access to a variety of techniques from several different models for therapy (CBT, DBT, IPT, REBT, Rogerian), people seeing me have consistently experienced greater life and relationship satisfaction.

I aspire to create an affirming and judgement-free environment where individuals feel safe expressing their experiences as everyone deserves to be heard and witnessed for who they are. I can provide practical guidance and support and I incorporate humour and humility into my practice. I view treatment as holistic and do not subscribe to a "one size fits all" approach. While there can be common symptoms, each person brings their own unique experiences and perspectives to the challenges which they are currently facing, because of this I will always work with you to design a practical and specific treatment plan designed just for you.

Therapy using a variety of methods can help you experience relief from distressing symptoms and resolve, or learn to deal with, problems of life. In an accepting relationship I facilitate healing by listening to your unique story and by sensitively helping you work through deeply personal, and often highly uncomfortable, topics. Even though the tendency is to resist anything that is painful, when you feel what you have been trying to avoid and discover insight about what has been causing your personal and/or relationship difficulties, you are better able to make the changes you want.

I believe in helping couples and individuals find their inner strengths and resources in order to create the life they truly want. Together we will define a meaningful life, which will guide you in overcoming your challenges. You will learn to live in the present, a powerful step since changing the present allows us to heal the past and define the future. Being collaborative, non-judgmental and creating a trusting relationship are the key elements to the success of our work together. Change is difficult, but I hope that you choose to give yourself the gift of choosing what you want for yourself and your relationship.

I strive to create a warm and compassionate environment where people feel safe to explore the issues they are struggling with. My work is informed by my belief that we are all the best experts of our own lives and that we each have the self-righting ability to heal and move towards increased wellness. I have created a unique and effective way of supporting others to overcome life's challenges by combining the latest research in brain development and attachment theory and the use of EMDR, Mindfulness based Cognitive Therapy, and Family System theory.
