Absence ALERT: I will be away April 11-15, 2024. Are you feeling stressed, anxious or depressed as we all collectively learn how to navigate this new reality of fear and social isolation, brought on by the COVID 19 pandemic outbreak? Would you like to find ways to be more focused and more connected with yourself and in synergy with others? Explore your strengths, even in your broken places, and craft and start living a truly energizing and meaningful life? You may be surprised to uncover resources in places you forgot or never knew existed.

Our team of therapists at Integra Health are here to support and provide you space for growth, care and change. Our collaborative practice provides you with opportunities to explore and identify your emotions and patterns of thinking and bring a new perspective to the challenges that you are experiencing. Integra Health is proud to be a leader in the community of counselling, therapy and education for all those who are seeking support in making positive changes to their life.

Navigating relationships is never easy; relationships with your partner, friends, children and yourself can often lead you to question yourself and challenge your confidence and happiness. Working from a strengths-based perspective, I aim to guide a conversation so that you can develop the skills needed to navigate the relationships in your life. I utilize my training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Solutions Focused Therapy and Mindfulness theory to help work through the issues you are facing. I do not see myself as the expert, but one who can ask some questions and work with you to find solutions and relief.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space to work with individuals who experience interpersonal relationship, parenting, stress, grief, trauma, workplace struggles, anxiety, and depression issues. I teach communication skills to better foster healthy relationships and assist in personal development. I specialize in early relational wounding, shame and trauma. My background includes a special interest in mid life women struggling with self-actualization and self-attunement.

Do you feel ready to finally take control of your life? I am a compassionate, client-centered psychotherapist, working with adults and couples experiencing mental and emotional challenges in their life. In my training as a therapist, an NLP and hypnotherapy coach and a yoga teacher, I have come to deeply respect the integrative nature of well-being, and work with my clients to facilitate the kind of change that can be felt in mind, body and spirit. It is my goal to assist others in creating profound shifts through awareness and integration, and it is my honour to come along on their journey of self-discovery.

In children and youth under 18 years of age, the common issues we support include anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma, behaviour problems, divorce/family separation, drug and alcohol abuse, body image / food issues, screen addiction, learning difficulties, developmental delays, temper tantrums, separation anxiety and more. For parents, we help with unresolved childhood trauma, perinatal and postpartum depression and anxiety, positive discipline skills, stress reduction/mindfulness training, and parent-child bonding and attachment. For adults we deal with a wide spectrum of issues including depression, relationship issues & more.

Whether you’re seeking to address persistent, lifelong concerns or the effects of new and unsettling events, psychotherapy can be a helpful tool. It offers the opportunity of establishing a deeper and more meaningful understanding of ourselves and of our personal history, and work toward more fulfilling lives and relationships. For many of us psychotherapy can mean a way out of dark places. Pursuing therapy does not mean we will never be faced with challenging moments, it means that we will show up better equipped to handle adversities and will be able to bring our best selves to the forefront.

Enter a place of hope, non- judgment, and solutions. I will assist you concretely, to explore issues, learn lessons, empower yourself and create the life journey of your dreams. My intervention draws upon over 30 years of clinical experience and encompasses Solution Focused, Insight Oriented, EMDR, CBT and many other proven techniques and therapeutic approaches. I am a cancer survivor and can 100% help you transform "fear" to "faith". With your physical conditions, addictions, anxiety/panic, depression, trauma, marital, divorce relationship and other issues, you will see that your past, internal dialogue, thoughts and communication skills are key.

Do you suffer from unwanted OCD thoughts and anxiety? Do you worry about bad things happening to you or those you love? Maybe you are having thoughts that you have harmed someone or may harm someone in the future. Perhaps you fear that you will become contaminated or that you will be responsible for a tragedy. Do you wash your hands excessively or check things like door locks or the stove? Or do you avoid things like knives, public restrooms, or anything that might trigger your fearful thoughts? Do you find that your OCD is interfering with your relationships?

My ideal client is someone who is motivated to explore their personal challenges and be open minded enough to work through them in various ways that aim to help them find peace and personal growth emotionally, socially, mentally or in any way they are in need of. My most common issues with clients are related to managing anxiety, stress, interpersonal conflicts, family challenges and personal growth goals.
