While psychological therapy can address some deep and painful issues, it doesn't need to be all about pain and suffering. In fact, it is often more about understanding yourself and others differently. It is about learning how to cope with challenging situations such as relationship dissatisfaction, uncertainty over the future, transitioning from one situation to another, handling strong emotions like fear, loss, or anger, and healing pains from the past. These universal experiences can be overwhelming. I can help you navigate them more smoothly and set yourself up for success on the other side of it.

At times, many of us contend with emotions and suffering that are overwhelmingly painful, disheartening and difficult to bear, often as a result of unique stressors and events. I work with adults, adolescents, families and step-families using Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, interpersonal psychotherapy, and DBT/CBT within neuroscience and attachment frameworks. I encouraged clients to access inner strengths and free their capacity for growth. Whether you or a family member experience depression, anxiety, marital distress or difficulties with peers, you deserve support in a confidential, accepting, safe and caring environment.

Do you struggle with finding clear direction and the way forward due to major changes in your life? Do you face anxiety, depression, or difficulty accepting and valuing who you really are? The therapy I practice is focused on helping adults to gain a true sense of themselves as individuals, to value and accept themselves, and to let this deeper sense of identity be the compass that guides us through our life journey. I'm empathic, experienced and an extremely good listener. My therapy approach combines deep insight with practical approaches for living out who you really are, without apology.

"What shape waits in the seed of you to grow and spread its branches against a future sky?" Are you struggling with anxiety and/or depression? Do you feel driven to grow, yet are perpetually stuck? Are you navigating a particularly difficult life transition? I can help. I will provide you with a safe place to explore your unique situation and equip you with tools to work through it. I can meet with you in my beautiful, private office located in West Hamilton.

Are you feeling lost? Confused? Do you end up in the same place despite endlessly trying to do things differently? Perhaps you hear your internal voice saying, “Life is So Challenging!” It can be difficult to observe our destructive patterns of thinking. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed and unsure how to cope with it all. We develop these ways of being from foundations that may have been shaky, wrought with trauma, and from others perhaps unknowingly projecting their issues on to us. Our body then does the coping for us. We can unlearn these patterns, and heal. Perhaps listen to the cues from our body before we makes things worse.

Life's difficulties are opportunities for personal development, creativity, and finding meaning. I offer a heart-felt, calming, embodied presence using Jungian Analysis to accompany you home to your self.

Welcome, it’s time to reclaim the power of your Creativity and True Self.

In uncertain times the need for us to take responsibility for our own lives is essential. To experience being fully alive, we can't simply accept a destiny that other people or our culture want for us. We have to write our own story and walk our own path.

We will seek to find the depth of your hidden potential and quiet the voices of self-doubt so you can ride the waves of human experience with grace and purpose.
