Therapists in K9J
Many issues which bring people to psychotherapy stem from painful past learning, whether serious trauma or abuse or "normal" childhood events such as being bullied. Therefore, I have sought training in techniques designed to be efficient and to minimize the time and discomfort involved in the change process. I have completed training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, EMDR, the Flash technique, Mindfulness and clinical hypnosis, among other techniques. I have also recently taken online courses from Dr. Bessel van der Kolk and Dr. Eric Gentry to deepen my understanding of trauma treatment.

I work with individuals seeking support for psychological trauma, general mental health concerns, and addiction. My area of specialization is in treating Operational Stress Injuries (OSIs), among military personnel, veterans, police officers, and other first responders. This includes addressing symptoms related to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Moral Injury, Anxiety, and Depression. I also support individuals navigating challenging life transitions or those simply looking for compassionate, non-judgmental guidance.

Neuroshaping is an application of the science of neuroplasticity. It can be defined as the use of methods that have demonstrable and lasting impact on the brain (and the nervous system in general) with the purpose of increasing desired experiences, states, and skills. Neuroshaping methods include psychotherapy, meditation, biofeedback, and neurofeedback. Our team employs all of these methods with a special emphasis on biofeedback and neurofeedback, which are particularly well-suited to neurodivergent individuals (e.g., ADHD, ASD) and to those with trauma and post-concussion syndrome.

My philosophy of treatment is to listen deeply to what has happened. I ask pertinent questions, not to judge what you have experienced, but to assist me in understanding what has happened and how it is affecting you now. We will embark on a journey together to unravel the reasons and answers that have eluded you so far. I use a client-centred approach, which means that you are the expert and I am the assistant. I will not try to fix you, but together, we will deconstruct what has happened and work towards creating the outcomes that you want.

Perhaps you have a difficult situation or relationship in your life. Maybe this is an unusual occurrence or perhaps this challenge has been in your life for a long time and has been limiting or harmful to you.
Psychotherapy is a way to assess and address problems. It is a tool to work through hard times and to help achieve the balanced and content life that comes from understanding and resolving these problems. If you are ready to discuss and change problematic emotions, thoughts, patterns and situations, psychotherapy may be very helpful.

Many people come to therapy not because everything is falling apart, but because something inside feels tight, muted, or out of reach. You may be functioning well on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of yourself on the inside. My work is Gestalt-informed, body-based, and art-centered, which means we pay attention to what emerges through sensation, emotion, image, and lived experience, not just words. You don’t need to be creative, broken, or in crisis to come. Therapy here is a place to slow down, listen inwardly, and reconnect with what feels real, alive, and true for you. You are not alone.

They may feel unseen, unheard, or unsure of how to move forward. They want to regain clarity, confidence, and inner calm, strengthen emotional resilience, and reconnect with their sense of self, purpose, and joy.
