Find a Therapist in Minto, Ontario.

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.

My masters program was called Spiritual Care & Psychotherapy. I had 3 years previous to that in a counselling undergrad that focused heavily on building a spiritually integrated foundation for theoretical approaches with clients. During those formative years developing as a professional and discovering who I wanted to be as a counsellor, I realised that I was made to serve and model with high integrity, a compassion for my clients that would stand out in their lives; that I had the privilege to be a small seed along their journey to well being. I look forward to walking with you, building a wonderful relationship through the hard times and the celebration of successes. You are worth 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.

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.

Psychotherapy has been found to be an effective form of aiding in your health & well-being. My goal is to help you to optimize your overall health as mental/emotional/spiritual wellness plays a key role in your physical well-being. I believe that the difficulties and challenges that you are struggling with are a normal and understandable reaction to damaging circumstances that you have been through. With my guidance and support I encourage you to explore these areas in your life that have been influenced and tap into your unique and innocent talents and strengths to work to overcome the harmful effects of those circumstances. I draw on a variety of approaches to meet your unique needs.

I attended Adler University in Chicago where I specialized in Psychoanalysis. Classical Adlerian Psychotherapy is unique in the sense that each client has their own individual type of therapy. The overall goal of the therapy is to establish a relationship between client and community in order not only to challenge unhealthy and unrealistic thoughts of the world, but also to challenge client's to replace self-defeating behaviors for ones that will lead to a more positive and healthy lifestyle.

I customize my interventions to the needs, preferences and directions of my clients to provide a comfortable, sensitive, empowering and effective experience. I work with a wide range of issues and am especially adept at working with trauma/PTSD, panic attacks, anxiety, phobias, depression, life transition issues and Physical Health issues. I facilitate powerful, measurable, client-centred results, quickly. As a seasoned Registered Psychotherapist I bring strong therapy skills, an extensive knowledge base and many years of experience to serve you. I have a broad pallet of modalities that I use including Hypnosis Cognitive Behaviour (CBT) and Narrative Therapies, and alternative approaches.

I embrace uniqueness and everyone's experiences ARE unique, they're ours. I approach each client with uniqueness and authenticity. I like to apply psychodynamic counselling and empowerment strategies to aid in better understanding our experiences and feelings while striving to build our voices and assert ourselves in the present and the future.
