Experiential Therapy in K1Y

Right now our world is at a new level of unpredictability and may be triggering uncomfortable feelings. I am here to create a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences within transitions life presents. In our work together we practice and reflect on the integration of new strategies to meet your needs on a deeper level, often involving mindfulness and self-compassion, trauma informed somatic experiencing, and attachment and ego-state (i.e. inner child & critic) therapeutic approaches.

Welcoming NEW clients! Do you find yourself trapped in the same argument you've had countless times before? Does it feel like you and a loved one speak different languages? Have you lost the "spark" in your romantic relationship? Are you struggling with family dynamics, past hurt, or breaking a destructive cycle? The good news is that you are not alone. Every healthy and honest relationship encounters conflict. The challenging part is how we navigate it. Our approach can 'make-or-break' our relationships, and sometimes ourselves, in the process.

By now, you’ve learned that you can’t just sail through life. Sometimes, you find yourself caught in rough waters filled with inner struggles that you don’t know how to navigate. Do you feel overcome with anxiety, stress, depression or burnout? Are you troubled by past trauma, unhealed grief or other unresolved hurt? Are you stuck in thought loops or patterns of behaviour that are pulling you further away from the life you want to live? Do you find yourself caught in a current of emotions you can’t see beyond? Do you feel lost at sea? Then, you may want to work with me as you carry on your journey toward greater mental well-being.

I have 24 years of experience working with a diverse clientele. I specialize in working with anyone who is going through a major life transition and is in need of support . I welcome activists, artists, sexual, racial and cultural minorities and anyone who is struggling to find their own way through major changes in themselves, their relationships or their work. Therapy helps people uncover and express their needs and process their emotions in a safe environment. Long time patterns and beliefs can be looked at in a compassionate way and new choices can be made that better support one's life and relationships.

Life can be tough and our inner struggles can become overwhelming. Navigating the depths of our own distress may be a daunting task. Luckily, we don't have to be alone. I provide therapy to adolescents, adults, seniors and couples from all backgrounds, in an environment that is open, safe and judgement-free. I have experience working with a range of issues: PTSD and trauma, depression/anxiety, self-esteem, substance use, relationship issues and more.

As a career counsellor I support and guide my clients in a reflective and strategic process, helping them to identify and leverage the power of their lived experiences and diverse talents. I work with clients who are seeking perspective, clarity and customized approaches as they navigate change, challenges, and fulfillment in their career lives. I coach clients who are experiencing stress/burnout to discover and integrate positive and sustainable solutions. I assist young adults in building the foundations for a career life. I help clients redefine and create new work after age 60, and map out personally meaningful next steps.

I have worked with women, children and youth and their parents and teachers for over 25 years, taking a culturally sensitive and client centred approach. I believe that healthy balanced relationships with one another and oneself are essential to human happiness, and enhanced self-esteem empowers us to face life's challenges. Together we can discover your strengths and find creative ways for you to lead a more fulfilling life. I use action experiential methods to enliven professional and personal life experiences and facilitate mindful, joyous living for all.

Avoiding? Self-sabotaging? Shutting down? I specialize in depression, anxiety, relationships, stress, anger, transitions, body image, self-esteem and procrastination. I'm just myself with my clients - relaxed, down to earth and totally non-judgmental. I'd love to help you tap into the strongest, most authentic version of yourself, so that you can live life the way you want to (whatever that may be). I want to help you to be confident and unshaken by distress.

We welcome anyone seeking to improve their quality of life, whether by overcoming trauma to becoming a more empathetic partner. The paths we take are rarely linear, and we strive to offer our varied range of therapeutic expertise to those in need of a light in the road to healing.

Life can be hard. Whether it is life transitions, stressors, illness, or any perceived limitation, we will all struggle, experience pain, sorrow, and discomfort. The question is, how do we support ourselves during difficult times? What type of relationship would we like to have with ourselves, others, and the world on the winding path of life? I believe psychotherapy connects us with our strengths, values, and compassion we need to live a more fulfilling, meaningful, and authentic life, despite obstacles we all encounter. It helps guide us toward approaching life with an open heart.

Just existing in today's world can feel overwhelming on top of whatever unique stressors you may be facing. While it might be tempting to downplay your challenges as insignificant or "not that bad", everyone deserves a space to be seen and understood. As a therapist, my job is not to to analyze, diagnose, or pathologize you. Instead, I approach our sessions with genuine curiosity, aiming to understand the meaning you attach to your experiences and ask questions that may help to shift your outlook on the challenges you’re facing.
