Reclaim your Power is a 4-week boundary setting workshop series for adult women that have been in toxic friendships or relationships and want to learn ways to own their power in future connections and begin to trust themselves again. These sessions run for 90 minutes and offer clients a space to explore the barriers to setting boundary, learn concrete boundary setting skills, and to practice boundary setting in real-time.

As a Certified DBT Professional, you may opt for structured sessions that help to identify problem behaviours and learn skills to help you become more effective in dealing with intense emotions, also offered in group or workshop format.
Life has the tendency to throw us curveballs and sometimes we have the capacity to dodge them on our own, but other times we may be carrying too much and our ability to navigate it all begins to feel unmanageable. I believe that our early experiences and relationships have an impact on how we manage our lives today. My hope for you is that we connect some of those dots so that you might begin to understand yourself with a fresh perspective and use this new acceptance to work toward change. Along the way identifying things that may be getting in the way of achieving goals, building healthy relationships, and living a fulfilling life.
When numbers allow I provide a guided DBT group to work with clients who have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorders with my office colleagues.

Group meets in Windsor, ON N8N
I am well versed in providing counselling services to children, adolescents and adults of all ages. I enjoy working with people who are struggling in the various stages and different aspects of their lives. For adolescents and adults, this could involve understanding and better managing anxiety, depression, grief or unexpected changes. It could also be in a supportive role as clients navigate learning about their new psychiatric diagnosis and how to best manage it. Or it may be working with children teaching them about their emotions, worry and adapting to big changes in their lives. The help I can provide is broad and varies.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Support Groups
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behaviour and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behaviour, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioural change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behaviour; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
