All of us at various times, in various ways, seek to re examine how we are looking at things, critique our own vantage point. We're just not always as discerning as we'd like to think. Therapy allows a safe place to boldly sift the internal attitudes, beliefs and responses which are working for us, from those which are not; and to change us for the better.

Self-analysis is best achieved with the help of a professional who can guide the process of coming to understand the deeper meaning of human behavior and thought. Psychotherapy will take you to new levels of insight and comprehension from which you can forge meaningful changes in the way you think about your self and your circumstances, make helpful decisions and implement behaviors that will enhance your life.

I work from a person centred, family systems, & attachment base in psychotherapy. Our early childhood attachment relationships impact us throughout our lifespan. Sometimes we develop strategies to protect ourselves in childhood which can become challenging to us as we move into adulthood; my approach to psychotherapy intentionally addresses these early childhood patterns. In psychotherapy you will also experience a deeper understanding of yourself, develop new levels of functioning - including a growing capacity to self-regulate, along with a purposeful & safe therapeutic relationship.

Psychotherapy is a means to gain a sense of wellness by understanding the effect of past and present experiences or obstacles on your life and identifying personal strengths and resources to cope with stressors. An integrative approach is beneficial to you as it draws from a variety of techniques and theories to provide a tailored treatment plan that meets your unique needs. Using a client-centered approach also ensures that you are in the driver’s seat so that your goals are the focus of therapy.

Our therapy approach and style are simple and down-to-earth. You show up and we talk together about which services may be right for you, in a secure, non-judgemental and compassionate environment.

Psychotherapy is to the mind what physiotherapy is to the body. Depression and Anxiety affect how we think, feel and act. As a trauma-informed psychotherapist, my practice treats your mind resulting in improvements in your thoughts, and your emotions and overall well being. My therapy work is collaborative, incorporating talk therapy where your troubling thoughts and feelings are examined; behavioural therapy where you may experiment with new ways of interacting with others or practice relaxation techniques; exposure therapy to gradually desensitize you to something you fear; or experiential therapies such as mindfulness, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Clients benefit from psychotherapy by identifying thoughts, emotions and/or behaviors that make them feel bad, stressed, anxious, angry, etc. In a safe, caring atmosphere, I assist clients in identifying patterns of distress, identifying an individual's personal life goals, and developing a plan to achieve the goals. The benefit is personal growth, self-awareness and greater life satisfaction.

I offer Counselling and Psychotherapy in areas such as PTSD and trauma healing, grief and loss processing, complex trauma and C-PTSD, anxiety, negative Self beliefs/esteem, LGBTQ affirming therapy, and more. I often use EMDR alongside talk therapy to help my clients achieve their therapy goals and work towards positive change in their lives. If you are struggling to achieve the positive changes in your life that you've been desiring, know that help is available. Don't delay your healing. You deserve to feel well and happy again.

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.

If you want to feel heard, understood, connected, and challenged, I am here to work with you to explore your inner and outer world. With the aim of gaining more clarity, self-compassion, and insight, I will explore with you how life events and your relationships in your family of origin have impacted your sense of self and emotional patterns. While building a trusting and caring therapeutic relationship, we will explore themes important to you, that may include self-identity, emotions, relationships, sexuality, spirituality, creativity, work, mental health, addictions, illness, life cycle transitions, body image, and more.

As a therapist with many years of experience, I have had the privilege and opportunity to enter people’s lives in deep and powerful life-changing ways. Each person is unique so treatment is a journey taken together. Psychotherapy is not something that is done to a person. Rather, my involvement is to work alongside, to guide and direct in tandem with you. It's not about impersonal analysis or judgement but about bringing skill, sensitivity and expertise to help you discover the truth about who you are. It’s to aid you in your healing as we together uncover your deepest beliefs and purposefully move into the depths of your emotions so that you can live your life to the freest and fullest.

I love to go deep with clients and explore all the intricacies of what makes them who they are. We are all complex, but simple beings. I have spent years working with people to discover the roots and dynamics that contribute to why they behave, feel and think like they do. Help is more simple and close than you think. I would love the opportunity to be invited into your heart and mind, to help you become free from those things that are hindering you.

Struggling with anxiety, anger, addiction, or trauma? You’re not alone. Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or hopeless is tough, but it doesn't have to be permanent. I'm here to help.
