Psychotherapy is the essence of my practice. Using the modalities of psychotherapy, I aim to help individuals, families and couples live a more content life, making changes to their lives that help them live more content and productive lives. Psychotherapy can help you understand yourself, your behaviour, and your relationships better, enabling you to live your life aware of your strengths, blindspots and goals and how to achieve them.

Life is a journey and we are presented with various challenges along the way. Sometimes we find a path forward and sometimes we get stuck and need guidance and support. Psychotherapy can be an opportunity for you to connect with a trained professional to explore the challenges you are experiencing and to discover new tools and perspectives. As a psychotherapist, I support you on your journey by creating a relationship with you that’s built on safety, openness, and trust. I also help you to discover the resilience that you hold and I support you in strengthening or re-defining the relationships within your life. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

I use a trauma-informed, narrative therapy approach to engaging in psychotherapy with people aged 14 years and older. This means that you can expect that your experience will feel collaborative, safe and be focused on the topics that you feel are important to you. You can expect that from the very first session you will leave feeling like you have gained something useful out of it.

All therapy involves some degree of psychotherapy. We will treat mental health issues through verbal interactions and communications in the therapy process. We can identify cognitive distortions and work on restructuring them. Discussing issues and getting an objective viewpoint can be illuminating. By talking about your struggles I can help guide you into a better frame of mind and choose healthier actions.

My approach is individualized and client-centered. It is important to build a trusting therapeutic relationship. I believe this is done by providing a non-judgmental space to client to share their own story, so they feel respected and heard. Providing the client education, coping strategies, an opportunity to discard unworkable strategies, and realign with their values, they may feel more connected to their mind and body.

Psychotherapy uses theories and models to serve as “roadmaps” for therapists. They help guide us through client problems, challenges and struggles, as well as determine the best treatment approach. There is no “one size fits all” approach or intervention. We are all unique. Through our own life experiences, psychotherapists gain knowledge and insight about their client’s struggles. They use different forms of psychotherapy to help individuals identify and bring their abilities and wisdom to their own awareness. This is an important part of the therapy “process”.

Are you a perfectionist or a people pleaser? We work clients who feel unfulfilled in their personal and professional lives and relationships. You may feel stressed, exhausted, or just going through the motions of your life. Moreover, you may be re-evaluating your priorities. Anxiety, depression, or feelings of overwhelm may be at play, and you may feel like you want a safe space to assess how you got to where you are today. We will work with you to explore your current relationships, family-of-origin issues, and support you in working through grief, loss, anxiety, or trauma. You don't have to do this alone!

Psychotherapy using ISTDP and CBT involves addressing core feelings and negative thought patterns that have often been pushed away by a host of automatic defensive methods either consciously or unconsciously to lower anxiety. Helping people identify, experience and express these emotions and confront negative automatic thoughts to learn more adaptive strategies can yield enormous benefits on mood and our level of social role functioning. In this model, therapist and client work as a team by having meaningful discussions and addressing anxiety and therapeutic relationship issues that may arise in session- to practice these key skills for everyday living.

In all of the work that I do with clients, there are some primary goals: Promote understanding and eliminate ambiguity. It is only through understanding that we can create comprehensive and meaningful change. I also focus quite heavily on exploring tools and treatment methods with my clients so that they can find their desired change. I incorporate elements of cognitive and behavioural interventions along with a myriad of psychological principles into my psychotherapeutic work.

Psychotherapy is the process of discussing issues in a safe space with a trained and licensed professional who, using ethical and effective methods, can assist clients in understanding their thoughts, emotions and behaviours. As a Registered Psychotherapist, with a specialization in abuse and trauma, I am accustomed to hearing and expressing empathy regarding very difficult situations. If there are words you have never felt safe to speak outloud or stories you need to tell about your past and how it has influenced your present, I will listen without judgement. Working together we can determine how you may progress toward meaningful change.
