I offer a warm and supportive setting to discuss your concerns. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address a wide range of difficulties. You will receive regular feedback and practical, evidence-informed suggestions (with their rationales) to help you try new ways of thinking and acting. My goal is to help you better understand the sources of your difficulties and to learn new skills to meet life's challenges.

Taking the step to try therapy is an act of courage.

Integrating approaches like DBT, CBT, ACT, and EFT allows for tailored support. Together, we build a collaborative relationship, empowering you to navigate your journey and achieve goals.

Our brain and body are more connected then we can understand and sometimes we need to ‘talk to the body” to unlock what is happening in the mind.

Therapeutic art and somatic processing allow for deeper learning, acceptance and healing.
Many people come to therapy not because everything is falling apart, but because something inside feels tight, muted, or out of reach. You may be functioning well on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of yourself on the inside. My work is Gestalt-informed, body-based, and art-centered, which means we pay attention to what emerges through sensation, emotion, image, and lived experience, not just words. You don’t need to be creative, broken, or in crisis to come. Therapy here is a place to slow down, listen inwardly, and reconnect with what feels real, alive, and true for you. You are not alone.

My practice is for people who want to understand themselves more deeply and make meaningful changes through experience as well as insight. I draw on psychology, meditation, neuroscience, philosophy, and more than thirty years of clinical experience in working with individuals who are curious about their minds, their lived experience, and their place in the world. Lasting change involves more than conversation alone. My approach combines psychological insight with practices that cultivate self-regulation through greater awareness of both mind and body

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counsellors
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
