Therapists in V6H

One of the most difficult things to do in life is to ask for help. I understand that making the first call is stressful, and I am open to hearing your concerns as soon as we connect. I encompass a non judgmental approach, based on strength and resilience. I work collaboratively with my clients to empower them to make important changes in their lives. As a counselor, I support each client's own experience of their story. I take a holistic approach to understand the many layers that surround life challenges, to create connections and promote change.

I use evidence-based CBT (and psychodynamic, person-centred, attachment, EMDR and mindfulness based stress reduction). I have nearly twenty years of experience counselling individuals, couples and families to gain insights and learn strategic tools to reduce anxiety and lead to self-fulfillment and healthier relationships.

I help people who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship issues, stress in the workplace, and blocks to personal growth or creativity. My clients comment that they feel heard and understood by me, and that they appreciate my soft-spoken, gentle, and compassionate nature. My work is based on AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), which draws from attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and more. What this looks like and feels like in session is that I will be working from the get-go to attend to all aspects of the therapeutic relationship with you, and together we will create

Hiya! Welcome! My approach to counselling is to create a meaningful connection and a safe space where you can engage in self exploration, free of judgement, through person centred, and trauma-informed approaches. In a world of information overload, I try to slow it down and explore inner thoughts and sensations that don't always have the opportunity to express themselves, while also looking for patterns along the way to help make sense of it all. I view you as the expert in your life, and my job is to ask you the right questions and help you reflect.
