Therapists in L2R

When picturing working with my ideal client, I imagine their issues revoking around anxiety related to their past and their current environment. Their needs are that they want to be able to not think about the worse case scenario or have as many negative automatic thoughts. Their goals are to be happier and begin to look at the bright side rather than being constantly in an anxious state. Being able to think about their past and reflect on what brought them here and how they can change those thought processes.

I think of each person’s life as a story and each chapter of each story is unique. Like every great story, our lives are filled with people, experiences, emotions, and perspectives. Some chapters of our stories are more difficult than others and there are times when transitioning from one chapter to the next can be challenging. As a clinician, I am committed to partnering with clients to examine what their story has been, what it has meant for them and what they want the next chapter to be. Over the last 25 years, it has been an honour to help people become the authors of their own lives.

If I could reach out to you in your search for a mental health professional, I would ask, "How can I help?". I have been working with clients for over 25 years, and the most important lesson I've learned is to truly listen to the person across from me, and create a therapeutic alliance based on that individual's personality and current needs. This is the essence of client-based psychotherapy. Contact me for a no-cost 30-minute intake appointment, and we can explore ways to work through the life challenges that have brought you to this search.

Asking yourself, "Will it get better"? Problematic relationship? Feeling lost? Work and life stress? Are you anxious and overwhelmed? Depressed and struggling to move forward?

Let's be honest, you're probably here because you aren’t feeling great. It's hard to live in a constant state of negative self talk and inner conflict. Stopping the spinning wheel of self-criticism can feel like a challenge bigger than you can take on. I use a down to earth and approachable style to tackle these thought patterns and feelings by creating a safe space to explore them. Bringing these feelings out into the open can take the power out of them, making it easier to find new beliefs that are empowering and meet your needs and goals. Letting go is a learned process and is easier when you are presented with an alternative.
