I’ve been helping people lead more intentional lives for over 20 years. Psychotherapy supports you in reaching self-awareness. No matter what the circumstance, you have the ability to be resilient.

When it comes to mental health, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. The same is true for psychotherapy.

We'll share laughter and authentic human connection even as you're gaining insights into your issues and learning skills for addressing them.

Psychotherapy is a specialized form of therapy focused on deep, long-term change by exploring the root causes of emotional and psychological issues. Unlike general therapy, which may address immediate concerns or offer practical advice, psychotherapy delves into the complexities of your past experiences and patterns. My approach aims to foster profound personal growth and lasting healing by understanding and transforming the underlying factors affecting your well-being. As a dedicated psychotherapist, I offer a transformative approach to explore and address the root causes of your challenges. Please schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit.

My approach to counselling is attachment based and trauma informed. I have extensive training in Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the gold standard in couple's therapy, which I apply in my work with couples, families, and individuals. During our sessions I take an engaged and active role in the process, focused on helping you to identify the areas where you may be stuck and working with you to make changes aligned with your goals.

In my therapeutic approach you will gain experience in identifying your thoughts and emotions and how this ultimately impacts your behaviour. By understanding the patterns that are keeping you stuck, we can work to create new healthier patterns that will help you relate to yourself, others, and the world around you in a more positive way. Often we can feel like we are a slave to our mind. My approach will help you get back into the driver seat of your life where you can begin to make choices that feel good for you and get you closer to living the life you want to live.

I use several research-based theories for individual counseling CBT, DBT & ACT. These theories provide practical skills that can help you gain a better understanding of yourself. By reframing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we can reduce emotional suffering. In my work as a mental health nurse, I have had the privilege of working with many people struggling with difficult situations and trauma. My approach is to be present, empathetic, and to understand the clients’ prospective. Relationships take hard work and commitment. Giving each person a place to voice their side of the story and be heard by their partner can often iron out the wrinkles in a relationship & help couples reconnect.
