Psychotherapy, ie, “psychodynamic”, differs from counselling or ‘coaching’: focus and goal is deeper "structural" personality/'self' changes; more about ‘how to be’ for life vs ‘what to do’ in specific situations (although this DOES happen). It engages us on 'core' emotional-sensory levels, exploring and healing hurts, confusion, strong negative reactions, troubled relationships, that result from traumas and neglect (eg, abandonment, violence, family disruptions) occurring at vulnerable childhood stages that have become ‘internalized’. This approach empowers one by fostering awareness about inner states and processes interfering with affirmative personal ‘agency’/choices, health- vitality.

Anybody can do counselling, but it takes skill to be a therapist. Clients who come to me find they do most of the talking. My role is to listen, try to understand what you are thinking and feeling, and reflect that understanding back to you. I want you to feel deeply heard. I want you to feel someone cares. I do not give you solutions. Rather, I help you find them within yourself.

Although I have training in many different modalities of treatment, I believe strongly that the critical factor in deciding which approach to use, is you.

Safely. Thoughtfully.

Psychotherapy with me involves understanding how your life (family, trauma, relationships) has created beliefs, fears and sensitivities that affect your emotions, thought patterns and choices today.

Psychotherapy provides you with an opportunity to take a deeper dive into the roots and origins of the things that challenge you in your present life. Many of the struggles we have related to our thoughts, feelings, behavioural patterns, and relationships have roots in earlier life experiences.

As difficult as it can feel, working with a therapist to peel back the layers of past experiences, explore and make connections with current day challenges, can help bring about a deep sense of peace and connectedness in daily life.

As a gestalt psychotherapist, who pairs gestalt training with somatic experiencing I can help support you in healing from your trauma. No one in the Niagara Region utilizes the combination of these therapies and applies them to working with couples in crisis. I am sorry to say but popular approaches to healing trauma like CBT will provide only temporary relief at best. If you want to get to the root of your trauma and heal somatic experiencing (SE) is what you need and when supported with the power of relational gestalt therapy you will shift your shit! SE focuses on regulating your nervous system. Gestalt focuses on awareness, contact and authenticity, it will help being relational.
