Psychotherapy and counselling are terms that are often used interchangeably. All of our therapists are trained in a variety of psychotherapeutic modalities and are equipped to modify their approach to meet the unique strengths and needs of our clients. This eclectic approach allows us to work with a broad range of clients with great diversity in presenting issues.

There are many approaches to psychotherapy; each has strengths and weaknesses. I believe in individualizing my approach to suit clients' needs and issues. Theories that influence how I view clients and problems include humanistic, psychodynamic, relational, eco-systems, attachment and narrative. Some of the approaches I draw from include somatic experiencing, cognitive behavioural therapy, and response-based practice. Underlying it all is a holistic, client-centred, and strengths-based value system. My goal is to collaborate with clients to develop the internal and external resources they need to face, overcome and learn from their challenges so they can find happiness and fulfilment.

Psychotherapy can be effective and greatly beneficial for couples, individuals and families. We strive to create a safe and understanding environment where we work in a collaborative manor based on your goals and needs.

Corrective emotional experiences allows clients to experience themselves differently in the present than they did in the past. Implementing a variety of therapies including CBT, DBT, EMDR, SE, EFT, MET or EPT best suited to the client and their situation brings about change. Freedom to engage in life as it presents in the here and now instead of in reaction to unconscious thoughts, feelings and physcial sensations that keep you stuck in the past brings about lasting change.

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.

The circumstances and issues that you are dealing with are unique to you, but you don't have to face them alone. Every individual has different experiences, perceptions, feelings, thoughts, beliefs, values, attitudes, cultural backgrounds and "upbringings". Counselling sessions are private and confidential, and can provide a way for you to explore your problems and really tune in to your feelings. This is an opportunity to speak freely about your circumstances and release pent up feelings, without having to worry about what others think or feel, and without receiving unwanted advise from family, friends or coworkers. At the root of the problem, there are very real, legitimate and understandable reasons for feeling the way you feel, thinking the way...(view profile to read more)

Psychotherapy helps clients understand their thoughts and associated feelings. Understanding and identifying issues in our thought processes can reveal what is making us feel anxious, depressed, or a variety of other unwanted feelings. Talking helps clients cope with stressful situations in a safe and manageable way. Anyone who is overwhelmed by their problems and unable to cope can benefit from psychotherapy. Counsellors will help clients learn to identify distressing emotions, express feelings appropriately, and modify their approach to those around them. Overall, the improved levels of confidence provides the means to navigate life challenges in a healthier way.
