In particular, we will look at what causes most distress for you and how your nervous system reacts to perceived danger, leading to persistent anger, fear, & anxiety.
Life is hardly ever easy. But suffering can be lessened, especially with the help of another human being, trained to help you navigate life's challenges and uncover your inner strengths. If you are seeking better self-understanding, leading to new ways of responding to the world so you can have better relationships, greater life’s satisfaction, a calmer mind, and greater resilience, then my approach to therapy could be right for you. I will work with you to help you untie your inner knots, reduce inner tension and confusion, and increase your capacity to cope with whatever life throws at you.

It is common for us as human beings to get to a place in life, where we can feel stuck and unsure of where to go next. It takes courage to take the first step in getting help to seek positive growth and change. If you're finding the idea of seeking help to be hard, just know that this can be normal. Growth and change can be uncomfortable, difficult, and even painful. We often avoid it, sometimes for years. Seeking help to change old patterns, to feel more grounded, and/or to help propel us into our preferred futures can be so important.

The truth might be that you are disappointed or hurt, anxious or maybe embarrassed.
Your relationship issues, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression or poor stress management are signals that reveal there is an important part of your life that requires attention. Just like we need oxygen for our physical health, we need caring, safe relationships and a sense of purpose for our emotional health.

I believe that life has the potential to be beautiful and fulfilling. At the same time, I believe that life consistently presents us with challenges and that these challenges can ultimately serve and enable our own growth. I see counselling as the space where we can more fully understand ourselves and discover how to live our lives to the fullest. I believe that by taking such a position we can become more aspirational and creative rather than becoming stuck on and identified with problems. Through becoming more conscious and aware, I believe we can unlock ourselves, overcome barriers, and find creative paths towards living fully.

Counselling is a collaborative process of exploring the difficulties (stress, emotions, experiences) that the client brings forward in session. Counsellors promote change by helping the client to focus on the feelings, thoughts, behaviours, and experiences that are maintaining barriers to attaining goals. Counsellors are there to “do with” not “do for.” The client is the one that leads the way, while the counsellor acts as a guide or support. My goal is to help you find your voice and your path to being your favorite version of you!

As a Registered Psychologist, I work from a positive place, seeing disordered behaviours as ways of coping that create problems as well as solves them. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify their goals and desires. We may use a motivational approach at first, if appropriate. Then we may focus on barriers to recovery, dysfunctional thinking, practical strategies for change, and past painful experiences or trauma, if relevant, using relationship-based, cognitive behaviour therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and emotion focused approaches. At the end of our session, I write my notes in the form of a letter to share.
