I apply evidence-based cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), including
mindfulness
techniques (MBCT) to my counselling work.
Experiencing life's transitions, including change, loss and grief is very challenging. Whether they are personal or shared, I am here to help you navigate your own transitions. If you have experienced loss, I can offer a safe space and a listening ear for you to express your feelings. I am also interested in helping couples improve the many aspects of their relationships or process through their separation. Although life's transitions can be overwhelming, each one moulds us into unique human beings.

Hello, as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) I have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of clients with an assortment of concerns throughout my practicum and into the start of my career. I take pride in being able to help clients assess where improvements are needed and strengths are present. I tailor our sessions based on your needs while pulling from various therapeutic modalities. I most commonly support clients through the use of CBT, DBT, solution focused strategies and ultimately, a person centered approach. As a young male I have had a lot of success helping males with male related issues.

My work integrates
mindfulness
and stress reduction strategies with a cognitive-behavioural approach.
We all go through rough spots in life where we can benefit from time to reflect. These times can also be an opportunity to understand ourselves better, and make sense of harmful patterns. Throughout life, we develop thought and behaviour patterns in our response to stress, in our relationships, and in our daily habits. With effective tools and strategies, we can make sense of them, and let them go. This opens us up to a more authentic and healthy life.

My work is grounded in attachment theory, while utilizing a trauma-informed lens, and CBT,
mindfulness
and somatic experiencing approaches.
I strive to create a warm, safe and accepting space to work towards your therapeutic goals and assist in your healing process. Although life happens to us, our healing has to happen at home - whether that means literally in our physical spaces, or in our mind and body within which we live. With this in mind, I created my own practice, Healing at Home Counselling and Wellness Services. With the philosophy that if our mind is supported, we can feel at home and safe in our body, our counselling services work from a person-centred, holistic approach which allows for an individually tailored intervention plan.

Life is filled with many challenges. We all use coping mechanisms that appear to make sense for these challenges. Sometimes these coping mechanisms stop working or cause us other difficulties when they are used for longer periods of time. I provide a safe and comfortable environment in which we can work together to develop skills and strategies that lead to change that can be maintained over the long-term. I am trained to offer Jon Kabat-Zinn's

Sometimes life presents challenges and struggles that signal us that it’s time for internal and/or external change. Sometimes, change isn’t easy and it can be hard to let go of what no longer serves us. Perhaps you’ve been struggling with past trauma, difficult life experiences, loss, or transitions that have impacted how you feel about yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. Sometimes we need some help to navigate the journey and find our way back to ourselves. You don’t need to do it alone.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Counsellors
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behaviour through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
