I have provided Individual Psychotherapy for over 20 years. Over the course of my career, I have gained training and expertise in many different therapeutic techniques including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, EMDR, Somatic Therapies and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. With such a wide range of therapies in my toolbox, I'm able to provide people with individualized and tailored therapy approaches that meet their specific needs.

Psychotherapy provides an opportunity to explore the challenges you are facing in a safe, non-judgmental space. As you share your experiences, we will be looking for adaptive and maladaptive patterns of thinking, feeling and/or behaving to move in a more helpful direction. I may ask questions that lead to better understanding of your current struggles and potential solutions. Increasing awareness and understanding of emotions and body sensations may also help to live a more integrated and authentic life.

I have been providing psychotherapy since 1996. Through psychotherapy, I have been able to help individual, couples and families to address their challenges/problems and achieve their therapy goals. My approach is client-centred, solution-focused, and using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques. Through psychotherapy, I can help you to improve your thinking, feelings and/or behavior.

Some people avoid counseling because of stigmatization and fear of the unknown. By using the Bio-Social model it allows a full assessment which will guide the therapy in a structured manner and give the individual a goal to work towards. As well it allows me to start therapy where the individual is by building trust and understanding while giving them alternatives to acceptance and change. There is no more guessing or wondering what to expect because you are the driver of the vehicle and I am a passenger who will ask questions that may help guide you onto better things. Therapy sessions provides the individual an opportunity to become aware of their own well-being.

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. My approach in integrated, so while the theory may guide some of my thinking and planning about how to help you, your own wisdom, experiences, and capacities help me to develop strategies that you can learn in the counselling room, and then put into practice in the real world. Safely. Thoughtfully.

Psychotherapy is primarily a talk-based therapy and is intended to help you improve and maintain positive mental health and well-being. I work with individuals, couples and families in individual and group settings. Psychotherapy occurs when the Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and client enter into a psychotherapeutic relationship where both work together to bring about positive change in the client’s thinking, feeling, behaviour and social functioning. Individuals usually seek psychotherapy when they have thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviours that are adversely affecting their day-to-day lives, relationships and the ability to enjoy life.

At Talking Works, we believe that you don't have to struggle in silence. We help clients with a wide range of mental health and emotional struggles using a broad variety of interventions and therapeutic techniques. We strive to offer support through genuine relationships that yield the best quality of care. Talking Works was created so that we could ensure nothing but the best service is received.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

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. Many people have experienced difficult life experiences and even trauma, which can have a lasting negative effect on the quality of present life. 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.

I've heard a lot of people tell me that they thought "therapy was only for crazy people". It's not. Psychotherapy can keep you from going crazy! Having a trained professional to assist you in making sense of your life can be a very "un-crazy" thing to do. Besides, the process can actually be fun and enjoyable. In additon, I offer body-oriented psychotherapy which integrates the awareness of the body in helping you to manage intense emotions or physical symptoms.

Individual therapy is focused on your unique needs and goals. Individual therapy includes learning about your history and life experiences then establishing goals to accomplish in counselling. Our histories are the roots that provide us with a foundation of strength and resilience. But, our histories can also hold the stories that cause pain, insecurity and doubt. It is our belief that the best therapy comes from helping to heal the roots that cause those stuck points. Through this we can create lasting change. As a full-service agency, we offer therapy tailored to address a number of concerns, really anything that might bring you to therapy. Click on the buttons below and check o

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.

My role as your therapist is to assist you to explore, reflect and accept yourself. From the safe haven of therapy you probe what you feel, know and maybe fear. It is an in-depth conversation with me but even more with yourself. Through this you reach new perspectives: awareness, feelings, thoughts, intentions plus better understandings of what has happened in your life. From there you can make changes towards healthier actions - calmer and in a more balanced, assertive position in relation to others and yourself. Such personal learning can certainly be done without a therapist - they just assist. Like hiring any consultant, it should certainly be you who is in charge of this journey.

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.

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. We will work together to enhance your awareness of and ability to cope with emotions triggered in the present. I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and EEG Neurofeedback to achieve your goals for healing and wellness.

Through a compassionate lens, I help individuals and couples foster a sense of perspective and understanding so they can meet their needs. I strive to make each person feel at ease to openly discuss what is on their mind while integrating various approaches based on the individual needs to get immediate and long-term positive changes. My ultimate hope is to support my clients in developing the confidence and belief in themselves to move through life’s challenges by leaning towards truly self-compassionate actions.

Hello and welcome. I will support you as you make decisions that prioritize your best interests. I am here to listen to your experiences, thoughts, and emotions. I will guide you through exercises and techniques (often somatic or compassion-based) that build confidence, reduce stress and anxiety, bring ease to your mind, and soothe your autonomic nervous system.

I embrace uniqueness and everyone's experiences ARE unique, they're ours. I approach each client with uniqueness and authenticity. I like to apply psychodynamic counselling and empowerment strategies to aid in better understanding our experiences and feelings while striving to build our voices and assert ourselves in the present and the future.

My approach to Psychotherapy is centered on creating a warm, empathetic, and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely. Through personalized and evidence-based techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and psychodynamic approaches, we will work together to uncover and address the root causes of your distress. My goal is to empower you with the tools and insights needed to overcome challenges, build resilience, and enhance your overall well-being. By fostering a deeper understanding of yourself, you'll be better equipped to navigate life's complexities and achieve lasting personal growth. Take the first step towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.

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.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.
