In traditional therapy we use the therapeutic relationship and supportive conversation to build empathy for ourselves, while finding new ways of seeing problems. We work at learning to change our thoughts and actions in order to shift challenging emotions. While this "top down" approach can be helpful, many people find thinking based skills alone are not enough. A great therapy conversation can come with a lot of relief and insight, but these benefits may not always stick around outside of the office. My approach provides an alternate way to work with stuck emotions, difficult memories and entrenched patterns of behaviour.
We can approach emotions at a deeper level than our verbal thinking. I specialize in processing focused approaches, which work with the mind from the "bottom-up". Processing can help untangle stuck feelings, get insight into complex patterns of emotion, release the emotional charge from challenging memories and build healthier responses to life problems.
Gut-directed therapy: I also specialize in working with IBS. This clinical program involves learning mental health techniques that help soothe the complex relationship between the gut and the brain. This can help reduce the disruptive influence the brain can have on digestion, helping to reduce symptoms of IBS and other stress related GI issues.

Groups
Gut-Directed Psychotherapy
Group and Individual Gut-Directed Therapy , designed to help those managing IBS symptoms or other stress related intestinal issues. Our program combines evidence based techniques like gut-focused hypnotherapy, meditation, polyvagal techniques and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). The goal is to improve the brain-gut connection, reduce life stress and improve digestive health. Clinical programs and research findings suggest that guided imagery and relaxation techniques can help improve gut health indirectly, by reducing the effects of stress on in the intestinal system. Practicing relaxation skills can also improve resilience, overall mental health and personal well-being.
