With 14 years of experience as the head counsellor at The Michener Institute, I offer professional support for anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and family challenges. My use of both Gestalt Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives me a wide range of options for support for both individual and couples. Gestalt focuses on the 'here and now,' our body experiences and childhood patterns and helps us be present in our relationships. CBT has been rigorously tested in over 1000 studies, and is a therapy that supports depression, attention deficit disorder (ADD), panic and anxiety, phobias and stress.

Every single person will need compassionate support, personalized guidance and wisdom, at some point in their lives. If you have a history of trauma, a painful childhood, or have suffered from anxiety/depression for a long time, then this is even more true of you. Emotions and thoughts can be confusing and even hurtful to yourself and others. Some mental states are so complex, that seem to be layer upon layer of suffering. Life can be a rollercoaster and healthy stable relationships appear to be too much work! Imagine not to be defined by your history or struggles. Imagine being able to tap into joy and inner strength at any time!

I really enjoy working with clients motivated for growth and change, and curious about themselves; what makes them "tick". The depth of my craft involves creating a holding therapeutic space or "container", which enables my clients to turn inwards and discover what moves them unseen. Patterns in personality and emotion emerge into view; emotional processes become unstuck and able to flow through to completion. An inner space opens for something new. It's a tremendous honor and privilege to accompany and serve people on this journey as a trusted ally, a witness, and expert midwife of psychological change.

North American society is organized in a way that has isolated people, cutting us off from family, community, creation, even from a full sense of ourselves. This disconnection has impacted all of us in different ways. It has pressed me to pursue restoring wholeness in therapy, where all aspects of ourselves and our realities can be taken up, nurtured, and addressed in the space. Where our thoughts and feelings are connected to shifts in our environments, movements in our communities, and conversations about colonialism, capitalism, or cis-heteropatriarchy.
