Clients have often told me they feel "lighter" when leaving a session with me. They describe working with me as "having a non-judgmental friend who knows a lot about mental health." I firmly believe in meeting you where you are at in life and gently challenging you where it's needed but always focus on ensuring you feel supported and that you have gained something from every session we have together.

Psychotherapy's major objectives are to reduce symptoms, maintain or enhance day-to-day functioning, and improve quality of life. Psychotherapy helps with managing stressful life events, the effects of trauma, medical disease, or bereavement (such as the death of a loved one), and some mental health issues like anxiety or depression. Positive physiological and neurological changes have been associated with psychotherapy, which has been shown to enhance emotional and psychological health. Psychotherapy comes in a variety of forms, and certain forms may be more effective in particular therapeutic contexts. Psychotherapy may be used in combination with medication or other therapies.

Our minds are a complex mix of past experiences and present perceptions. It can be confusing to sort out what is real and relevant to your current situation. Through therapy we engage in a mutual journey of discovery to find out what makes you tick. Self understanding gives you choices. You no longer operate on automatic pilot. Couple and Family Therapy operate in a similar way, except the work is to help family members listen and understand each other, to support and encourage each other. Families fall into hurtful habits of discord. That can be changed with effort and help.

My primary approach to working with clients is Relational Psychotherapy. "Relational therapists help clients understand, on the one hand, their own patterns of thoughts and feelings about themselves, and on the other hand, the power of significant relationships, past and present, to shape this self-experience. Relational therapy strengthens and transforms a client's sense of self, which in turn enhances his or her confidence and well-being in the world." In other words, as a relational psychotherapist, I will be with you as you explore your life, your sense of self, and your relationships with others.

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. Therapy should be a safe space where you feel comfortable sharing and exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with someone who offers you empathy, authenticity, and acceptance. 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.

As a gestalt psychotherapist, who pairs gestalt training with somatic experiencing I can help support you in healing from your trauma. No one in the Niagara Region utilizes the combination of these therapies and applies them to working with couples in crisis. I am sorry to say but popular approaches to healing trauma like CBT will provide only temporary relief at best. If you want to get to the root of your trauma and heal somatic experiencing (SE) is what you need and when supported with the power of relational gestalt therapy you will shift your shit! SE focuses on regulating your nervous system. Gestalt focuses on awareness, contact and authenticity, it will help being relational.
