I've always sought deeper learning, studying Communication Studies at Laurier and earning Diploma's in Humanistic and Psychodynamic (Gestalt) therapies.
Many of us have forgotten how to let our emotions move through our bodies like pure energy forms - letting anger churn, hope to blossom, grief to contract, or sit with unmet longing. My approach is to simply be with what's true for you, moment to moment. I practice this through supportive listening and staying with whatever comes up in the present. I create a safe space to help unravel beliefs & emotions, and offer personalized, therapeutic techniques to support individuals to gain awareness and clarity about themselves, their patterns and the decisions they make in their life.

I work with individuals drawing from a variety of therapy styles such as narrative, spiritually-integrated, acceptance and commitment (ACT), humanistic approaches, etc.
When life gets messy, we all sometimes need a little help along the way. I walk with you, listen, help you get in touch with your inner wisdom, and find the next steps on your path to your best “you.” If you struggle with relationships, grief and loss, major life change, new diagnosis or palliative illness, spiritual issues, or feeling stuck, you may want to choose me as your therapist. I especially understand the needs of those providing care to others--caregivers, first responders, faith leaders, and health professionals.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck, whether in dissatisfying relationships, weighed down by past trauma, making significant life transitions, or experiencing persistent anxiety or depressed mood? Does it feel like no matter what you do, or how you try to change, it’s the same old story? Many people can’t help but feel frustrated, lost, and hopeless when faced with these kinds of struggles, and don’t know where to turn.

Is there something missing from your sex life? Is it all you thought it would be? Do you want more intimacy? More pleasure? Passion? Desire? We are not born knowing how to have great sex or develop healthy relationships. Nothing could be further from the truth! Sex and romantic relationships are both an art and a skillset developed through experience, and also through support and guidance. In my practice, I aim to help you to learn and understand how to create a sex life filled with pleasure and intimacy rather than shame, fear, or performance anxiety.

Separation & divorce is not something you considered when you and your partner were planning your lives together. Unfortunately, divorce is common and is an incredibly painful process which you can't typically prepare for. It can generate intense emotions such as anger, confusion, betrayal, loneliness, and hopelessness. Even if you know it's the right decision, you will likely be experiencing grief over what you had hoped your relationship would be. Co-parenting is another level to manage. This process can make you question who you are, and what your life will look like moving forward.

Humanistic Counsellors
How does humanistic therapy work?
One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualisation and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.
Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?
Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioural therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.
How long does humanistic therapy last?
The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.
Is humanistic therapy effective?
According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
