I strongly believe that psychotherapy is an art. This is the reason I integrate different approaches and modalities when working with clients based on their goals and their current situation. In other words, I use my years of training and my clinical experience to make sure what we do is helpful to you. I have done training in approaches that focus on thoughts and cognitions such as CBT, approaches that are more emotionally focused such as AEDP and approaches that are more body focused such as SP. This helps us to give equal attention to all parts of your experience such as your feelings, your thoughts and your body. You will feel more integrated and whole as a result.

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.

Psychotherapy is an interactive process between a clinician and a client. By examining and challenging thoughts, feelings and behaviour, one can affect change, solve problems and reach maximum potential. As a clinician, I help to facilitate this process by implementing interventions such as Neurofeedback (NFB), EMDR and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). NFB retrains your brains ability to act rather than react. EMDR is a powerful tool that goes to the roots of barriers to functioning by affecting neural processes with eye movements. CBT allows you to actively engage in examining your thoughts and behaviours to effect change.

As a therapist, I work with individual adults and with couples to heal emotional wounds, both within the individual and within the couple. I create a feeling of safety where you can recover from the past, and develop a strong, clear sense of yourself as a worthy individual, as well as creating a relationship in which you are able to maximize your potential, both as a human being, and as a couple. I have specialized training in both trauma, and couples therapy, both of which help me to help you.

I believe the main function of psychotherapy is to be a reflective tool. Like a mirror I can reflect what you show me exactly as it is, but I can also magnify and expand the image for you. Sometimes we can narrow in on an issue, and observe the smallest details; sometimes getting so close that they don't look small anymore, in all their complexity. Other times an expansive view is is more beneficial, so we can see the overall connections a single issue can have with other various parts of life.

Psychotherapy is otherwise known as talk therapy. I use this interactive approach of talk therapy (psychotherapy) as a supportive framework and also a constructive way to help people deal with the problems in their lives. We set goals, which are talked about and discussed in therapy with the use of techniques, so that solutions are identified and people know what to do and how to navigate the difficult issues in their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) , Family Therapy, Behavioral Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy are specific approaches in psychotherapy used to support and assist clients to meet their goals.

Exploring your past and present experiences with a compassionate professional can provide a safe atmosphere for intrapersonal exploration, allowing you to understand yourself better. When we understand ourselves, our relationships and habits become clearer, leading to new possibilities for the future. Self-awareness brings increased satisfaction in relationships with self and others, as well as enhancing our ability to make confident decisions and move toward our goals.

When I think of the hundreds of women/men I have assisted in making changes and in healing, they have been creative, intelligent, capable people who usually did not know these things about themselves because their pain story kept them from seeing this. You might think this could not be you because you believe no one would describe you in this way, but pain has a way of blinding us to the truth of our good points. And you do have good points, many more than you believe right now. Therapy is a means to help you discover what they are. It can help you find your strengths, what is incredible about the way you have been made and give you a place to be heard, supported and guided as you heal.

It is my hope that through the process of exploring personal and relationship issues, clients will develop a greater self-awareness and understanding of their potential and capabilities. Clients will identify any limiting beliefs and thought patterns that may have blocked them from attaining goals in their personal relationships and/or professional lives. Clients will also address and work on any unhealed past experiences of emotional and/or physical trauma that may be negatively affecting their lives today. Clients will benefit from building effective communication skills to promote healthy relationships. It is my hope that clients will develop a loving acceptance of Self.

Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is a way to help people with a broad variety of mental illnesses and emotional difficulties. Psychotherapy can help eliminate or control troubling symptoms so a person can function better and can increase well-being and healing Psychotherapy is a general term for treating mental health problems by talking with a psychiatrist, psychologist or other mental health provider. During psychotherapy, you learn about your condition and your moods, feelings, thoughts and behaviors.

Patterns of self-sabotaging behavioural, disorganized thinking and overwhelming emotion make life very difficult. How can we move forward when our bodies seem to betray us and we just need a break from the buzzing anxiety or the numbing of depression? What you may not know is all these symptoms are the imprint of our unfinished business, stuck in the body and just begging to be seen, cared for and accepted. Working with me means looking with curiosity, compassion and an educated-eye at how old wounds of betrayal, abandonment and rejection show up to block living your best life. You are not alone and there is hope.

In transactional analysis psychotherapy client is expected to be an active participant at every stage of the process. You will be invited to set your goals for your therapy; thus it is helpful if you come with an idea of what you want to get out of therapy and I will help you to set realistic and achievable goals. A part of being an active participant in the therapy involves doing 'homework' in between the sessions, such as using relaxation techniques, writing down your thoughts about something or practicing new behaviours. Full engagement in therapy requires a high degree of honesty/transparency of thoughts and emotions. Often things we are most reluctant to discuss are the most important.

I am a trauma counsellor working out of Surrey and White Rock BC and have taken specialized courses in this area. As a trauma therapist, I help clients heal from the underlying wound (s) that are getting in the way of their ability to thrive in everyday life. I work at a pace that is tailored to each client for the best results. I focus on connecting with clients on a deep level so that they feel safe, seen and secure while working with me.

Psychotherapy is a deeper subset of counselling, that works to discover and identify longstanding patterns and themes by which an individual views the world and their life. We all have a sense of how the world works, but rarely do people shift their awareness to a particular theme and explored how it impacts their life. In doing so, one is able to explore new ways of interpreting their past, present experiences, and future choices.

The experiential work in AEDP has deeply moved me. This therapeutic framework beautifully blends attachment theory and the attunement of the therapist and client to process together towards transformative experiences that are healing. This is dyadic work where the client and therapist create a connection that allows clients to go to deep places of emotional brokenness and begin to make repairs and make new meanings allowing clients to become unstuck and begin to feel relief.
