Through developing
mindfulness
, self-compassion, and creating new meanings from experiences stressors can be managed more skillfully.
Do you feel ...overwhelmed? ...numb? ...stressed? ...anxious? ...depressed? ...angry? ...hopeless? ...ashamed? ...lost? ...haunted by the past? ...alone? At times we can become stuck in these painful emotions, and we desperately wish to avoid them. We temporarily block them or distract ourselves only for them to return with a vengeance. Instead, when we turn towards them to hear and heal what is underneath, the painful emotions can be truly transformed. In this way, we can use emotions as a guide and overcome the obstacles in reaching our full potential.

Mindfulness
-based Cognitive Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I create individualized treatment plans - reevaluating and adjusting the approach as your needs in therapy evolve.
The path to becoming your best self is not easy. It requires work and dedication. But it's rewarding. I want to remind you that the journey is just as important as the destination, and for you, the healing can begin right now. I offer a safe and secure physical and virtual space for us to work through your life up to now. Together we identify themes that contribute to maladaptive patterns of thought and behaviour. Through an integrative approach to therapy we unpack past traumas and connect core beliefs. We become acquainted or reacquainted with your truest self and we begin laying the bricks towards living a more congruent life.

"You cannot do it alone and no one can do it for you" P.L. You may have noticed that your mood fluctuates between feeling anxious and/or depressed. And you don't know how to navigate or interrupt this cycle. Life is nudging you towards seeking support because at times holding it all by yourself feels like too much. In therapy with me, you will feel heard, and understood. You will learn what is overwhelming your internal system (thoughts, feelings and experiences in the body) and be able to move towards regulation, ease and balance. I bring a sense of curiosity and compassion and empower you to lead with courage and confidence.

Utilizing an integrated approach which incorporates CBT, Narrative Therapy, Gestalt,
Mindfulness

Many people spend vast amounts of time and money getting an education, obtaining a driver’s license, planning a wedding, or achieving their dream job, but few people are willing to spend the same amount of time and money investing in understanding themselves, knowing their values, and determining how to choose a partner who is a good match for them. By educating ourselves about who we are and what we really want in our lives, we increase the possibility of living happier lives.
