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.

I believe in helping couples and individuals find their inner strengths and resources in order to create the life they truly want.

Being collaborative, non-judgmental and creating a trusting relationship are the key elements to the success of our work together.

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.

Living Well's approach to psychotherapy is research-based and holistic. Because we attend to the current needs of clients, in addition to their long term goals, therapy tends to have greater long lasting results.

My approach to Interpersonal Psychotherapy (ITP) is a safe, respectful, natural, and dynamic interactive process. I view the client-therapist experience as an interpersonal relationship that is founded on the principles of mutual respect and genuine caring. The therapeutic focus is largely on current relationships and how those relationships are perceived in a client’s life. Additionally, I encourage the exploration of conscious and unconscious emotional issues. Most persons possess a wealth of undeveloped strengths, assets, and capacities. Most of us use only a small percentage of our physical, mental, spiritual, and relational potentialities. By accessing a range of therapeutic techniques s....

In my practice as a psychotherapist I assist individuals to understand forces within that cause suffering & confusion. My approach is engaging, compassionate and expansive. I have over 25 years of experience with many types of people from different cultures & backgrounds. I believe most people have a mixture of complex emotions & complicated life experiences. But most everyone is trying to live a better life. People often have ‘scripts’ of who they are & why they came to be living the way they are. I help people develop ways of reflecting on what has been, what is, and what might be. This opens the possibilities for more choices in life. Your life can be different if you want it to be.
