Psychotherapy with me can be many different things. Most importantly, is learning first about the client's history, current issues, and ideas about the future so that we can discover priorities to work on together. I am supportive and caring in my relationships with clients and I see my role as a facilitator who helps them to make the improvements they'd like to see in their daily lives. Sometimes, we will focus on a specific problem, such as a habit that needs changing. Other times, a client needs help to build confidence or communicate better in their close relationships. I like to say that "For every problem, we can find a solution, or at least improve how we feel about it!"

During our sessions, you will slowly reveal different parts of yourself that have been buried, and we will work on integrating them so that you can operate from your strongest possible self. We will work through any trauma that may be holding you back. There is freedom and ease around the corner, and it all starts with a simple email or phone call.

The foundation of therapy is a trusting and supportive relationship where people can feel safe to explore themselves and the world around them. Each person comes to therapy with a unique story and as a therapist, I believe in providing a treatment experience that is as unique as the individual themselves. I provide therapy using a strengths-based and collaborative lens and foster healing through connection and empowerment. Book a free consultation to see if we are a good fit.

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.

The door of self understanding leads to a type of freedom that is personal , powerful and dynamic. Each individual's needs and inclinations are taken into account when determining the best therapeutic approach for each client. The therapeutic journey is different for each person as we are all unique. What we have in common is our need for love and self acceptance.

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.

As a Psychotherapist, psychotherapy is my way of practice. Psychotherapy can help you become aware of automatic ways of thinking that are inaccurate or harmful (for example, having a low opinion of their abilities) and then question those thoughts, understand how the thoughts affect their emotions and behaviour, and change self-defeating behaviour patterns. It helps to identify ways to cope with stress and develop problem-solving strategies. It work at examine interactions with others and teach social and communication skills. As well, apply mindfulness and relaxation techniques, such as meditation and breathing exercises.

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.

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.
