Many of us come to periods in our lives when we feel overwhelmed, confused or immobilized by our circumstances and our feelings. Or we reach a point in life when we know in our gut that something has to change, but we just don’t know where to begin. Doubt and negative self-talk can make us feel stuck. Sometimes we struggle with feelings of sadness, anger, shame or anxiety and can feel very alone in that struggle. Having a safe place to talk and a safe, non-judgmental person to talk to is key to healing and moving beyond the “stuck place”.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk to blossom” -Anais Nin. I can appreciate how difficult it is to make the first steps in entering into a therapeutic relationship. Telling our stories takes tremendous courage and strength. We can trick ourselves into believing that it would be easier to remain silent. We all hit a point in our lives where we need extra guidance, a genuine ear, or a safe place to open up. I create a safe and open space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and stories. I combine several therapeutic techniques, to allow you the freedom to share your journey.

Sometimes dealing with surface issues or reactions doesn't work. Are you unable to deal with life's everyday stresses? Ask yourself, what is at the core of those feelings or behaviours? What is inside you? Do you give yourself permission to feel? Do you feel alone? Everyone has their limit and Im guessing you are at yours. Its time to dig deeper and look at what started it all. To finally deal with the issues that still exist deep inside you. Let me guide you to process your feelings or past traumas. To feel heard and empowered. To be able to finally move forward. To be happy.

If you’re a parent looking for the right service for your child/youth, or you are an adult looking for a non-judgemental, authentic, down to earth, and compassionate therapist then look no further. I use an evidenced-based trauma and attachment treatment lens with my clients. We begin by building a therapeutic relationship and exploring support networks, strengths, and coping skills. This will also build a sense of empowerment that you (or your child) can use to navigate difficulties that may arise while transitioning to the next phase in your life/families life.

Are you struggling with grief and loss, sadness and depression, anxiety and frustration, or just the stress of everyday life? Loss is more than just losing a loved one. We have lost so much of what we knew as “normal” in recent years. Grief and loss are expected realities of life but you do not need to go through it alone. Connecting with the right therapist can be the first step in addressing your concerns and making a change. My intention is to just be human with you as we work together. I would be honoured to hear your story and support you in creating the rich and meaningful life that your deserve.

Feeling alone in the difficulties that we are facing in life, can lead us to believe that our challenges are insurmountable. This can result in us feeling stuck, unmotivated and hopeless about ourseves and our future. Ultimately, we all desire a sense of connection and purpose, but when our thoughts and feelings get in the way of that, our system can get overloaded. We may then begin to experience challenges in our day to day functioning and our relationships, without really understanding why, or what to do about it. My role as your therapist is to support you through increasing awarenss and to develop a plan for moving forward.

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.
