No one ever said it’s easy being a thinking, feeling, spiritual being. You are not alone in feeling anxious, depressed, grieved, angry or disconnected in a relationship. Most of what troubles us is caused by a perceived need to protect ourselves from injury. Fortunately, we all have resources for healing. In a compassionate and safe environment, I enable you to adopt an accepting, compassionate, and curious relationship with your emotions and behaviours. With this foundation, we become agents of our own renewal. We steer our ship with confidence and vision, even when the seas are tossing and turning.
I am a Certified Internal Family Systems Therapist. This somatically and mindfully grounded approach - aka "parts therapy" - puts you in the healer's seat and provides skills for lifelong mental health. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy with couples, a rebuilding of attachment connections. Also, CBT & Motivational Enhancement Therapy as support tools.
If it’s your time for renewal, I would be happy to assist. Visit my website or phone for a 20-min free consultation to discuss how I can help you find balance and happiness. If it feels like the right fit for you, we will meet in-person at my office in Gibsons or online via my secure telehealth video platform.
