Starting therapy takes courage, and I strive to create a safe, compassionate space for growth. My ideal client feels stuck—struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions—seeking clarity, relief, and self-understanding. They long to break unhelpful patterns, build confidence, and cultivate healthier relationships. Using an integrative, client-centered approach, I help them navigate challenges, develop coping tools, and foster self-compassion. My goal is to empower clients to move from struggle to fulfillment, embracing a more authentic and balanced life.

Hi, I'm Diandra! If you're anything like the clients I work with, you might be coping on the surface, but underneath you feel stuck, overwhelmed by emotions, struggle with the past or are caught in habits that leave you disconnected, guilty or ashamed. You might be drinking, using substances or engaging in other unhelpful behaviours to cope. Maybe you're avoiding difficult feelings or feel exhausted by the same relationship patterns that never seem to shift. If you’re looking to make changes and better understand yourself, I take a practical approach to help you move forward with a focus on what truly matters to you.

I am a Gestalt Psychotherapist trained in EMDR & Somatic Experiencing. My areas of specialty include working somatically with traumatic injury, complex trauma, PTSD, unprocessed grief, stress, anxiety, depression, general life struggle, chronic pain. I work from the basis that the body has important messages to tell us when we listen closely enough, and my interventions include inviting you to notice your felt sense of your body and to pay attention to internal feelings, sensations and impulses. I believe that with the right support, we all have an inherent capacity to move towards wellness, vitality and authenticity.

Everyone, at some point in their lives, struggles with challenging emotions that stand in the way of fully living. Perhaps you become overwhelmed with the smallest decisions, or you find it hard to deal with the people in your life. It is not uncommon to feel lost or discouraged and to think “Why do I keep making the same mistakes? Why can’t I take control of my life and live on my own terms? Will things ever change?”.

Gambling Therapists
How do gambling rehabilitation programs work?
There are both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation programs. However, for some individuals, an outpatient facility may not offer enough hands-on care, and for other individuals, an inpatient facility may be too much. Both types of care have knowledgeable health professionals including physicians (in the case of residential programs), psychologists, counselors, psychotherapists, and recovered mentors.

How do gambling 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Abstinence and maintenance are key for 12-step gambling disorder programs. Individuals in a 12-step group rely on each other for support and accountability. In addition, there is often a spiritual element to these programs, whereby belief in a higher power can help the individual overcome their tendencies. If an individual genuinely wants to cease gambling, attending a 12-step program along with regular psychotherapy can be highly effective.

How long does therapy take for gambling disorder?
Recovering from gambling disorder takes time and effort. There’s no precise timeline for treatment, but a person can see change if they stick with therapy and if they have the will and desire to stop. Treatment for gambling disorder requires honesty in therapy, a commitment to understanding triggers, as well as the development of coping skills. Making lifestyle changes is also important, such as staying away from lotteries, online gambling, and casinos.

Is relapse a problem for those with a gambling disorder?
Gambling disorder is often chronic and can be life-long; therefore relapse may present a problem for some individuals. But effective treatment can bring a person’s life under control. To remain healthy and on track, the individual may need to regularly check in with their support group or psychotherapist. Frequently refreshing their tools of recovery can be helpful.
