Therapists in M6H
Everyone has different reasons for seeking therapy and reaching out for help is an important and courageous first step. I believe in empowering you by acknowledging and working with your strengths. Therapy sessions with me are creative, and integrated, and I weave in elements of mindfulness as influenced by my two decades of experience practicing yoga and mindfulness. I draw from ACT-informed practices, as well as CBT, Attachment-focused, and relational psychotherapy. My experience as a mother of four also informs my worldview, as I believe in being grounded and practical.

I see individuals and couples in my practice. In both cases, the therapeutic relationship is a place in which you (or you and your partner) can feel understood and heard, and where you can know again that you matter. Therapy is at once simple - it provides you a space to talk about all the things you've been feeling and thinking; and yet it is also more - it is an experience of trust and of growth out of which transformation is indeed possible. Even in times when change seems impossible or out of reach, there is hope through the therapeutic connection.

I treat issues of mood and anxiety as well as more complex issues involving substance use and abuse and trauma. I also have special expertise and interest in personal goal-setting; cannabis (marijuana) dependence; and creative, gifted, and/or talented youth and adults with mood, underachievement, or multipotentiality issues. I work from a harm-reduction perspective and use a holistic lens to address problems. Using a mix of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and a systems perspective, I assess and address sleep hygiene, daily habits, personal relationships, and coping skills, and incorporate mindfulness and exercise into all treatment planning.

I help people reduce conflict, restore integrity, find ease, confidence and joy in their lives, even when it seems impossible. Through this work, you can harness your own innate ability to face and transform the challenges of living, loving, working and parenting. Together we create a compassionate and courageous space where you are heard and understood within the wider context of your family and environment. Using the neuroscience of emotion, this work addresses problems at the root, rather than focusing on behaviours or symptoms.

Hello, and welcome. If you are here you may be seeking ways to cope with difficult things in your life — finding a way to be with uncertainty, sadness or pain; managing relationships or work; perhaps noticing feelings and thoughts that you may not even fully understand. The hard part of this work is seeing and holding what is inside of us, being with it, and perhaps making sense of it. The beautiful part of this work is gathering the hurtful bits and the joyful pieces and holding them all at the same time, together. I will not, and cannot, tell you how to be but I can create safety and openness with you.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults. In my work with children we play, because for a child play is a way of making sense of his/her world and expressing what is of vital importance to them. The elements of play are clues that communicate what the child feels, what they hope for, and where the conflict is in their world that is troubling them. My work with adolescents leans more towards talk therapy. I engage with adolescent with the aim of helping them reflect on their own mind, the minds of others, helping them grasp what is stable during a time of shifting self image.

Everybody from an early age develops a 'story'. The story becomes an accumulation of everything that we experience. Made up of thoughts, emotions and feelings. All stories are similar, how we learn to live with our experiences makes our story unique. We learn to identify, believing that we are our story, creating situations and patterns in our lives that often become problematic. Psychotherapy is extremely beneficial if you are experiencing low self esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, loneliness, anger, forgiveness, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges and family struggles.

Feeling stuck or weighed down by anxiety or depression? Do you sometimes feel alone and as though everyone else seems to be doing better than you are? Perhaps you constantly worry about the future and wonder how you will manage, or frequently have the thought, “I am not good enough.” Are you feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope? I firmly believe that everyone deserves support when they are struggling and that no one should have to deal with such challenges on their own. I can help.

I have extensive training in thinking about the emotional complexities of people's lives and in helping children, adolescents, and adults bring new meaning to confusing, disruptive, or worrisome thoughts and behaviours. Together, we work to represent in words or play what is underlying these difficulties and to think psychologically about behaviour in order to facilitate new ways of relating to self and other.

As an integrative psychodynamic psychotherapist, I utilize emotion-focused, parts work, and somatic techniques to enhance capacities, foster integration, and promote embodiment. My approach is trauma-informed and relational, supporting the exploration of various aspects of identity, including gender, sexuality, spirituality, culture, race and whiteness. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, trauma, CPTSD, and diverse relationship dynamics. My framework acknowledges the profound impact of intergenerational and systemic traumas on individual and collective psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual health.

I believe that our relationships can be sites of powerful healing. As a therapist it is an honour to work alongside couples and families as their relationships - to one another, to others, to themselves - transform. It is through this transformation that we come to better understand ourselves and create new ways of being that are more compassionate, empathetic and generative.

Life can be hard. We all want to be heard and to have a place of validation as we navigate life issues. Knowing someone cares to listen and support as we come to accept difficult circumstances or make decisions for change can help us move through these challenging times.

I use a wide range of approaches tailored to the child and family such as play therapy, art therapy, narrative and solution focused approaches, mindfulness, parent-child attachment and positive behavioural support strategies.
