If therapy were to be successful for you, what would be different in your life? How would you know that this process was a good use of your time and money? - How you answer those questions is very important, those answers set the (initial) destination as we set out on this journey together. Client directed therapy means that your goals are the compass that guides our work, and we will regularly check in to assess what is working and not working in helping you reach those goals. Every client is different, and our work will be built on proven modalities and techniques, while also being specific to you.

Psychotherapy's major objectives are to reduce symptoms, maintain or enhance day-to-day functioning, and improve quality of life. Psychotherapy helps with managing stressful life events, the effects of trauma, medical disease, or bereavement (such as the death of a loved one), and some mental health issues like anxiety or depression. Positive physiological and neurological changes have been associated with psychotherapy, which has been shown to enhance emotional and psychological health. Psychotherapy comes in a variety of forms, and certain forms may be more effective in particular therapeutic contexts. Psychotherapy may be used in combination with medication or other therapies.

Our minds are a complex mix of past experiences and present perceptions. It can be confusing to sort out what is real and relevant to your current situation. Through therapy we engage in a mutual journey of discovery to find out what makes you tick. Self understanding gives you choices. You no longer operate on automatic pilot. Couple and Family Therapy operate in a similar way, except the work is to help family members listen and understand each other, to support and encourage each other. Families fall into hurtful habits of discord. That can be changed with effort and help.

Clients have often told me they feel "lighter" when leaving a session with me. They describe working with me as "having a non-judgmental friend who knows a lot about mental health." I firmly believe in meeting you where you are at in life and gently challenging you where it's needed but always focus on ensuring you feel supported and that you have gained something from every session we have together.

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.
