Therapists in M1T
I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can slow down, explore your story, and better understand what’s happening in your body and nervous system. My approach weaves together expressive art therapy and somatic experiencing, allowing us to work with both creative expression and body-based awareness. Sessions may include talking, writing, visual art, or other forms of expression. There’s no right or wrong way to show up, and no prior art experience is needed. Together, we’ll find what feels most supportive as we make sense of emotions that can be difficult to put into words.

In my experience working in the mental health sector for the last 5 years, therapy is often sought after someone has suffered long enough or until the symptoms become unmanageable. It is my hope that as we continue to de-stigmatize mental health more people can feel comfortable utilizing this valuable service as a preventative measure and not as a last resort. My approach as a therapist is simple: helping others increase awareness and insight into their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I believe through careful introspection and analysis we can reach a level of compassion and acceptance for ourselves and others.

Are you ready to feel better? Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a proven, effective treatment to help you work through life's challenges. If you are looking for relief from anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, insomnia, chronic pain, panic attacks, addictions, or other mental health concerns, CBT may be the right therapy for you. Using a variety of tools and strategies, CBT helps us to see how our thought patterns influence how we feel, and how we act in the world. Our thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and our body are so connected - each one re-inforces the other, making it very easy to get caught in a downward spiral.

You may be someone who feels called to reorient your relationship with yourself, with life, or with others. Often this comes after realizing that insight alone, self-work, or short-term approaches have not created the depth or consistency you are seeking. You may function well externally, yet sense that something essential is asking to be met more honestly. This work is for individuals willing to stay with a process over time and take responsibility for their inner and relational life.

Are you noticing some ongoing challenges in your relationships to others and yourself? Do you ever feel a void, an emptiness or even a cloud following you wherever you go and you can't seem to fully get why? That can be an extremely difficult and painful experience, especially as you are trying to navigate through the world. Unfortunately, most of us don't set enough time aside to tune into ourselves, heal some of our wounds and navigate through our complex layers. This avoidance can lead to some long-term affects in our intimate relationships, at work, with our kids, and more.

You are not broken. We all get stuck in stories about our lives or our relationships that no longer serve us. I invite you to include me as you rewrite your story.
My own story informs my therapeutic approach in many ways. Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I was a midwife, early parenting coach, and prenatal educator for over 30 years. Accompanying people through some of life's greatest transitions has enriched my understanding of the ways we weave the threads of our life stories.
