Find a Therapist in Pembroke, Ontario.

As an eclectic therapist I offer assistance that supports learning of new ways of thinking that gets reinforced through experimental behaviour that is rich in meaning to clients. This cognitive behavioural therapy is woven within a humanistic, culturally sensitive frame. Some of the learning includes sharing simple techniques that can gently and safely regulate emotions and the inhibit the sympathetic nervous system to reduce overwhelm and dial down anxiety. With self-applied acupressure, sensory integration techniques, hypnosis and powerful EMDR interventions, many clients are better able to cope with their lives and begin to imagine and go on to build a fulfilling future.

Many people have ideas about how therapy should look or feel based on what they have seen in movies or tv, and some of those ideas can be scary or intimidating.

I believe that clients are the experts in their lives and will work collaboratively with you to explore the stories you hold about yourself and the world around you to find meaning, facilitate change, and highlight your strengths and successes.

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.
