Looking for more than just talk therapy? My ideal client is looking for therapy that goes deeper than talk therapy. I have worked for 23 years with clients recovering from anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, abuse, and codependence. Experience has shown me that using a mind/body approach to therapy is the most effective for healing from these issues. My belief is that our being is grounded in the body and that ignoring the body will have limited lasting success in the treatment of psychological issues.

My background is in systems theory; the idea that everyone is connected to those around them, with influence between all those people, organizations, and cultures. My approach to therapy is primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but I also see a need for insight into the meaning that we make/have made of things and how that impacts our present. Therapy then, involves opening space for a person to increase awareness of their own process and to see alternative perspectives, thereby empowered to make different life decisions. It is so exciting to see someone realize that they have the power to change their perspective and their life!

I am a Registered Psychologist who specializes in grief, loss, and traumatic death. I work with individuals and families experiencing emotional and psychological issues prevalent in grief (death and non-death loss), trauma, attachment, anxiety, depression, and concurrent life stressors. I am passionate about supporting individuals through unwanted changes and difficult life transitions. We can experience life-altering moments, and often feel defined by them; life events that are out of our control, fear-inducing and that threaten our sense of safety. Together, we can work towards restoring safety, control, and normalcy in your life.

We all struggle at times, but I am here to help you get back to the person you choose to be. My work focuses on supporting clients to learn about and manage the things going on in their lives. I work primarily with obsessive compulsive disorder, trauma, chronic pain, anxiety, stress, and interpersonal/relationship issues. My clients are looking to take back control in their lives and do the things they want to do, live how they want to live. I share my clients' goals, so consider me on your team.

Listening to clients and providing a respectful environment where it is safe to explore life's challenges is the first step. Each of us has strengths. I respect the expertise you have in your own life, encourage you to look at things differently and guide you to discover your own inner wisdom to help you create solutions that work for you. My clients include individuals, couples and families struggling with relationship breakdown, separation/divorce, parent-child problems, employment issues, anxiety, depression or trauma. I have specialized training in mediation, parenting coordination, parenting assessments and EMDR for working with trauma.

Does your child or teenager have difficulty in school? Are they putting in an extensive amount of time and energy just to get proficient grades? Does it seem like they are not reaching their full potential? Are they struggling to maintain their focus and concentration? Or, do you think they are gifted? As each child is unique in their learning, parents and school based teams often look to psychologists to support individuals who have varying needs. This includes individuals who have learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, ADHD, anxiety and mood disorders, Autism, behavior concerns, and who are intellectually gifted.

Mental health issues can feel like you’re standing at the bottom of a mountain, without the energy to climb it. I believe in using a ladder approach to those mountains - taking each step one rung at a time. Through counselling, we can work on making that mountain more manageable for you. I practice an integrative approach that draws on cognitive behaviour therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy.

Those dreaded words... You’ve got cancer. You’ve got MS. You’ve got diabetes. Hearing these words from your doctor can be shocking, scary, and defeating. You feel overwhelmed, scared, and are uncertain about where to turn for help.

Watered Heart Counselling was formed to help individuals live an optimal life. We believe habits create the condition of your heart. Out of the heart flows the issues of life! When a heart is broken, dull, hardened, scolded, numb or dysfunctional not only does it interrupt the flow of life, but it can suffocate and cut off one’s ability to function. Here at watered heart, we believe life is not the inclusion of everything or the avoidance of anything. Living a balanced and optimal life is one’s ability to adapt to life’s challenges while heading to a destination. Life is a means to an end…and the end should always be intentional.

Hello and welcome to Sunburst Counselling & Consulting. What is trauma? Trauma is linked to a memory of an event that sticks within your mind and body. It can result from falling off of a bike, bullying, a car accident, a sexual assault or anything at all that happens to you that was out of your control. Unresolved trauma can result in anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD and dissociation, all of which can greatly impact your ability to function. When you lose your ability to function, you may experience a decrease in self-esteem, self-worth and self-confidence all of which will impact your core sense of self.

Do you feel unheard, angry, or ashamed? Are you stuck in the past or stressed about the future? Maybe you struggle with overwhelming feelings at home or work. Sometimes you doubt your own thoughts and judgment. It can be difficult to find a therapist who understands your unique emotional experience and mental health issues. It is possible to feel strong, energized, clear and in control. I have a passion for providing empathetic and culturally sensitive care to adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD.

Learning about yourself is an enlightening and important process. Therapy is personal. It’s about your life, passions, desires, and challenges. Finding the right therapist for you is key in your therapeutic success. My strength as a psychologist comes from my ability to build relationships of trust with patients, guiding them on a journey of self-discovery and healing, while leveraging my experience in both clinical assessment and talk-therapy to design an approach that creates momentum.
