I am dedicated to working with my clients to cultivate a deep sense of emotional awareness and understanding. Emotions can often feel overwhelming or even antagonistic, but I believe they are essential messengers. My primary goal is to transform this perspective, helping clients recognize that emotions are valuable messengers with important insights. By fostering a healthier relationship with our emotions, we can uncover what they are truly trying to communicate. In our sessions, we adopt a collaborative approach, working together as a cohesive team. This partnership is rooted in mutual respect and shared goals, allowing us to navigate the complexities

Psychotherapy is a longer journey that examines the present and the past to identify the repeated patterns of unhelpful approaches you take to dealing with your life's challenges. It's a process that fosters self-discovery, helping you uncover your strengths, resilience, and psychological awareness. One of the key challenges is to maintain a balance between exploring the past and staying present, ensuring you don't overlook something important in your current life. Trust and kindness during your therapy naturally evolve in good psychotherapy.

As opposed to many of the behaviourally-based (simple fix) treatments available today, psychotherapy involves going deeper. This might include looking at coping skills or patterns you developed as a child which, though they served you well then, may be getting in the way of your life now. Psychotherapy is less about learning tools, and more about developing insights about oneself and one's loved ones. While many therapies today focus on changing behaviour in the here and now, psychotherapy often involves looking at what may underlie emotional or relational patterns, such as having difficulty saying no, or struggling to trust others. It involves being more honest and authentic with oneself.

Therapy is about the exploration of how we are impacted by our life experiences. It allows us to discover different choices and strategies to resolve the difficulties that keep us stuck. Therapy will provide you with an opportunity to express your concerns in a safe and non-judgmental environment where you will feel heard, and be acknowledged, for who you really are. Together we will discuss what you may want to achieve through the therapy process. With a commitment to therapy, over time you will see change occur. I take an integrative approach to therapy combining psychoanalytic, attachment based and trauma focused therapies.

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.

I have over 25 years of experience in working with individuals, teens, couples and families and am a Registered Social Worker. I offer therapy in an empathic, supportive, caring and non-judgemental environment. I will assist you to identify the root cause of your concerns and clarify your goals for change, so that together we can help you enhance the quality of your life. My goal is to inspire you to create a life that helps you live in a meaningful and fulfilling manner.

There are many things which cause us distress and prevent us from achieving our preferred quality of life. These can include a variety of feelings, thoughts, beliefs, reactions, confusion, past or present situations, etc. You can more easily think about, and choose, your preferred ways of living, by getting clear about what's going on, how you're being affected, and your usual responses. I delight to help in this kind of process: it can be a way of making things which are invisible, visible; things which are unspoken, clear; even things which were un-thought of, possible.

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.

Psychotherapy has been with humankind since our origins. However, about a century ago, psychologists tried to systematize and formalize psychotherapeutic interventions and, depending on their worldview and perspectives on human nature, they created various approaches that currently exceed 400, which can be confusing and misleading. A successful psychotherapy, regardless of the lenses and title, should acknowledge that every person has a unique mind and, as a result, a unique mental world. The therapist’s job is to help the client explore this world in a supportive environment. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Do you have a junk drawer in your home? I like to think of therapy like emptying out and organizing your junk drawer. Trauma and stress disorganizes our brain. Memories and experiences are scrambled and coping skills are hidden. Therapy lets us empty out those drawers, put them in order, throw out the things we no longer need, and find the things we’ve been searching for.

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.
