Registered Provisional Psychologist, MC, BS
Verified
My professional experience includes training in
Acceptance
and Commitment Therapy, Gottman, and Functional Family Therapy.
Congratulations on taking charge of your life! You are one step closer to getting the help and support that you seek. Asking for help requires courageous vulnerability, and recognizing that you are a "human-being". As humans, we all have limitations in our ability and capacity to handle stress. Asking for help doesn't mean there is something wrong with you, or that you are "broken." rather it may be that you are seeking to make meaningful and lasting change in your life.

One of my greatest strengths is my empathy. I strive to understand issues from my client’s perspective without judgement. I believe a trusting therapeutic relationship is the foundation for successful therapy. It is within this relationship that clients feel safe to begin examining the various layers of their story and where answers begin to emerge from within. I help clients feel supported in this discovery process and works collaboratively with them in building a new narrative that aligns with their belief systems and values.

In life, we can find ourselves challenged in ways we did not expect or anticipate. Life can become difficult and overwhelming to manage at times. In such moments, it can be helpful to seek support from someone who might help unearth possibilities and support you in finding healthier and adaptive ways to manage and cope. It is my belief that developing a strong, trusting, and collaborative therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone to therapeutic success. Through mutual respect, genuine empathy, and trust, individuals can be seen and heard, and encouraged to create the changes they want in their lives.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counsellors

ACT is a form of mindfulness based therapy, theorizing that greater well-being can be attained by overcoming negative thoughts and feelings. Essentially, ACT looks at your character traits and behaviours to assist you in reducing avoidant coping styles. ACT also addresses your commitment to making changes, and what to do about it when you can't stick to your goals.
