Therapists in M4G
Does the weight of your worry continue to grow and leave you feeling exhausted? Are you trying hard to fit in, but usually end up feeling excluded, unhappy, and anxious? Or perhaps you're noticing that your child is finding it hard to connect with others? The stress of relationships and identity can be a lot to manage; having to tell someone about it can be downright overwhelming. If you or a loved one feels like there's nowhere else to turn, accessing the support of a trusted therapist can help you focus on your strengths and discover who you really are.

The reality is that every life is full of ups and downs. Our challenge in the short time each of us has on this planet is to make the most of it by relishing in the ups – and working through the downs so we can come out on the other side as a better, happier and more enlightened person. Which is where I come in. I’m a registered social worker, psychotherapist. I am also a lawyer who formerly practiced family law for almost 10 years. My passion as a therapist is to help people live their authentic life and make sense of the challenges they encounter along the way.

I want to help you live the life you want while enjoying the process. Although therapy may bring up painful moments, it doesn’t have to be painful to work. Evidenced-based modalities rooted in neuroscience, such as Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), can help you feel better quickly - all without having to go into detail about the traumatic experience. Instead of reliving the trauma over and over through traditional talk therapy, memories simply become something that happened in the past. The activated 'charge' or emotion that kept you in pain is no longer present. Please visit WEBSITE for more info.

Clients come to counselling/psychotherapy for many reasons. Sometimes they are struggling with distressing emotions that get in the way of their productivity, daily functioning and peace of mind. Other times, they want to have better experiences in their relationships with family, friends, a loved-one or co-workers. In some cases they are going through periods of change and struggle to find balance and comfort in the midst of uncertainty. If you are at an impasse in your life... if you simply cannot go on with things being the way they are... you are in the perfect place for change to happen!
