Cognitive
Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Committment Therapy, EMDR, Progressive Counting, and Mindfulness.
Congratulations on taking a step toward healing. Whether you are just beginning the journey or have been on the journey for quite some time, I am here to help. I believe that there are things in life that derail us from living to our full potential. These events, whether small "t" traumas or big "T" Traumas, cause us to feel overwhelmed, anxious, and depressed. It changes the way we feel about ourselves and how we interact with others. With the right support and therapy, I believe we all have the strength, courage, and internal resources to overcome negative life experiences.

I utilize various approaches to counselling in my work, including
CBT
, ACT, Mindfulness and Positive Psychology.
The road is long and the path isn't always clear. I know experiencing pain, whether it be physical or emotional, is inevitable. Despite that, we are often faced with navigating through life's challenges with uncertainty or fear. I see adolescents, adults and seniors, individually, in families or couples, who are seeking support in facing uncertainties and overcoming challenges including those that come with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, addictions, stress, sexuality, relationships, addictions, and family discord.

Accepting New Clients. We as human beings experience stressors, challenges, difficulties and traumas as we navigate life, regardless of our age. We might struggle with feelings of sadness, anger or anxiety. Many of us need a place to feel understood, safe and connected. We yearn for validation, empathy, acceptance and compassion. We want to feel more connected to ourselves and/or our relationships. We want to feel like we belong, we are valued and we matter. Our lives can be so busy and full of chaos. We can experience more clarity. We want to increase our feelings of joy, calm and our sense of worth. You are enough.

Sometimes when you get distracted, forget things, lose track of time or procrastinate, do you think “maybe I have ADHD”. Perhaps, you dismiss this thought because, well, isn’t it just kids that have ADHD. You look around and compare yourself, your life, to others and think, Wow, they have it all together. Why can’t I be like that? What is wrong with me? ADHD is not just a childhood issue, and you don’t just ‘grow out of it’. ADHD can impact all aspects of your life and cause you to feel shame and anxiety, especially if you do not know what if preventing you from doing the things you work hard to do.

Life can be challenging. Sometimes it’s a job we don't like, a relationship, or our past. As a therapist I can help to identify patterns in your life, in your behaviour and beliefs that keep you unfulfilled, frustrated, and unhealthy. Freedom can come from the ability to see those patterns with compassion and from choosing a different way forward for yourself. I am a caring, committed person with experience working with individuals and families.

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counsellors
How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?
Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario (catastrophizing) or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
