With graduate, post-graduate degrees, and over 30 years of clinical experience, I welcome Children, Teens, Adults, Couples & Families into my practice who are facing anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief, addiction, chronic pain/illness, or stress from relationship conflicts. I specialize in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Relapse Prevention Therapy, and Self-Care which are personalized to each client's unique age & circumstances, as well as a unique Couple's Program, and Deep Healing that addresses pain and utilizes strengths to repair. I use specific strategies to gain real results.

I believe in an empathic, collaborative approach, so that you may always be part of the therapeutic process. Psychotherapy allows for a unique relationship, whereby the focus of attention is on understanding you. It provides an opportunity for openness, trust and honesty, often difficult in other interpersonal situations. It can help you to increase your resilience to life challenges and improve relationships. I use a range of therapy modalities according to the best fit for your needs and personality. Greater meaning in life can be achieved by longer term therapy, but also brief periods of therapy which are cumulative.

You might find yourself dealing with different challenges that have altered the structure of your life as you knew it before. When things around us change we can sometimes feel overwhelmed by the unknown, and not feeling ready to adjust to new realities. These factors can trigger different emotions, such as depression, anxiety, anger, fear, making us feel stuck or not able to move forward. My passion is to walk together with you in a therapeutic journey. You are unique. I believe that we all deserve to be happy, and that we can be happy.

We enter psychotherapy for a wide variety of reasons: The death or loss of a loved one, illness, job loss, divorce, addiction, etc., but all of us seek help because we are trying to find a better way to deal with the reality we are facing. My job as a psychotherapist is to help you talk about your emotions and reactions in a safe environment, figure out where these emotions and reactions are coming from, observe whether your reactions produce the desired outcomes and, discover new ways to react, if that would produce more desirable outcomes

Stressed?? Anxious?? Depressed?? Are you struggling to find the right therapist? Feeling lost? All first sessions are FREE with no obligations. WHY? I am passionate about creating opportunities for healing centered around your unique needs! My personal philosophy is radical acceptance. I believe that most coping strategies (from perfectionism to addictions) actually enable survival to one's best ability. Reflect on how your personal coping methods enabled you to survive until this moment! I believe in honouring old patterns with awareness. We must recognize and accept what is holding us back in order to change it.

I analyze your handwriting (clinical graphology), memories, dreams, projective stories and other materials from you, to figure you out . . . FAST. To start, we identify personality style and inner-dynamics, then work from the map to architect change. We consider all angles: nutrition, lifestyle factors and other variables: The Big Picture. My work is technical, a type of engineering, facilitated by projective personality assessment. See my website for media, publications, etc. I deal with the gamut of problems but specialize in working with problems that have been unresponsive to conventional psychotherapy: OCD, Anorexia, etc.

No Band-aid solutions here. Treating: Sex Addictions, Sexual Trauma or Sexual Abuse, Porn Addiction, Love Addiction and Sexual Offenses or Sex Crimes are my specialties. This includes the person experiencing these challenges, and their partner's or spouses who are confused and hurt, and their families. According to Parole Services, I have never had someone sexual re-offend while under my care and have only had 5 couples ever separate under my care. I can help with sexual enhancement, growing in intimacy, and relationship recovery. Imagine the possibilities that good therapy can have in your life!!

As a relational psychotherapist, I specialize in working with individuals and couples who are searching for meaning and new direction in their lives. Based on over 25 years of experience working with clients, I realize that there is no one method to be used with every client. Pulling on a wide range of modalities, I tailor our way of working based on the client's needs and issues. Also as a Jungian, I have come to understand the value of working with dreams in order to tune into the deep unconscious currents in the psyche.

I have seven years of experience in this field, beginning in working with refugees abroad. This lead me to research treatment development for survivors of sexual trauma. I have most enjoyed working with clients who are processing trauma, anger, ADHD, sex (LGBTQ+ friendly), and/or grief. However, my experience extends beyond these populations, and I strive to stay open to the wisdom gained through working with a wide range of demographics and therapeutic approaches.

As a holistic psychotherapist I help individuals and couples achieve inner transformation through healing the core psychological issues. With over 10 years experience, I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, addictions, self-esteem, obsessive thought patterns, and personal growth work. We will use a tailored, evidence based therapeutic approach, to address your acute mental difficulty. While also working through the complexities of your life that lead to this state. In a safe non-judgmental environment, we address the difficulties in your thought-belief systems, emotional complexes, and behavioural-relational patterns.

I work well with clients who are self aware and/or have had therapy in the past, but feel stuck. They may be aware of how trauma from childhood impacted them, but are unsure of what to do next.

My intention for you, as a therapist, is to be with you with compassion and skill to help you through life's difficult times and to help you reach your greater potential. We will work together, in a supportive environment, to increase resilience and wisdom so you can be better able to access, communicate and actualize your inner needs. Most of the clients I see are burdened by anxiety, depression, relationship problems and/or trauma. I have resources and strategies that address these all too common concerns.

TRUE HEALTH COUNSELLING IS ABOUT RESTORING THE RESTFUL STATE IN YOUR SOUL SO THAT YOUR BODY CAN HEAL ITSELF. You are a soul that lives in your body, which is your home. When you feel more peaceful, relaxed, and graceful deep with yourself, your body will reflect that in health. We can either create or destroy ourselves at every moment, so let’s make each moment be healing, together. This holistic and unique body-based counselling focuses on healing deep-seated repressed stress, constantly putting the body in fight-or-flight, freeze, and fawn response – all of which destroy the body over time if not healed back to rest.

However, we each have our own limiting beliefs that keep us from our goals. I'm here to help you get clarity, by helping you to overcome your challenges & create a new improved life.

I am a registered psychotherapist, specializing in Expressive based therapy. I look at therapy as a path towards healing, with a holistic approach towards health and mental wellness.​ Trauma-informed expressive arts therapy is based on the idea that art and writing expression is helpful in reconnecting implicit (sensory) and explicit (declarative) memories of trauma and in the treatment of trauma. If you don't feel like traditional therapy is for you, then I work with you to find what does work for you. I specialize in: youth treatment, anxiety, trauma and depression.

Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Anxious? Experiencing relationship hurdles? Grieving a loss or simply want someone to talk to? Whatever it may be, together we can work on positive change. We can uncover the patterns of thoughts and behaviour that may holding you back. We can replace despair with hope, self-doubt with self-esteem, and sadness with joy. Simply put, we can discover your better self. You may not have a specific “problem” necessarily in mind; you don’t need to be given a reason to begin the work.

In order to provide access to therapy, I am offering video and phone sessions on a sliding scale basis during COVID. When we feel stressed, overwhelmed, anxious or depressed, our options can seem limited. Growth can be achieved by using tools and supports. Coming from a strengths based perspective that honours individual stories, we work to create resilience, safety, trust, collaboration and empowerment. EMDR and DBT are employed regularly in my practice, and I also use easy yoga techniques to create greater feelings of well being. As we manage distress and its root causes, we can find greater stability, freedom and peace.
