“Is this forever?” You might be asking yourself this question when you’re struggling and feeling overwhelmed, especially if you’re recovering from abuse, trauma, or illness. Sometimes we lose track of what we want and need moment-to-moment, believing we need permission to want and need anything at all. It is this sense of being “stuck” that often brings clients to therapy. Having a witness—and a safe place to be witnessed—can support us in moving through and beyond life’s most challenging moments. With awareness of our patterns, automatic responses, and bodily sensations, we can start to feel our way out of that “forever” feeling.
Gestalt Therapy can help you see how your ability to fully live your life gets interrupted. When we push down our difficult feelings (anger, shame, fear) we also lose access to our joy, our pleasure, our hope. Therapy can remind us how to access our spontaneity, unearthing our creative potential, our passion, and our motivation.
As a highly-collaborative therapist—guided by my experiences of therapy both as a client and as a practising Registered Psychotherapist—I am here to support you in accessing your innate capacity to be *you* in the world.

Groups
Process This! (Next group March 2027)
Process This! is an in-person group to explore how to be ourselves in the presence of others, and with supportive feedback, start to notice where we get stuck, and what gets in our way. Group therapy provides a unique opportunity to experiment with ways of connecting, creating a safe place to see how our experience can impact others in unexpected ways. We use a Gestalt approach that emphasizes supportively exploring physical sensations long enough to understand the deep emotions that might be too hard to feel on your own.
