I have a profound respect for the therapeutic process. I acknowledge that every human being has a story, some parts painful, and other parts hopeful. I hope to draw on that hope with you, help you discover your existing resilience, strength, and ability to cope through the hard times and discomfort. I use a tailored approach for all people, because each individual is unique and deserves to be seen as such. Your feelings are valid and I can help you tap into them in a safe space where you will be heard and not judged.

Hi there. I'm so happy you are reaching out for support. As humans, we are all shaped and transformed by the relationships and experiences we've had. When we feel overwhelmed, numb, off balance or tangled up, a kind and patient relationship in therapy can help us find steady footing and clarity again, giving us the resilience to feel trust within, adapt and thrive. Whether you are a youth or adult looking to strengthen relationships, build confidence, explore ways to communicate or unravel anxiety, grief, depression, or trauma, I am here as your guide.

Full Circle Art Therapy Centre
Art Therapist, BFA, DTATI
I don’t have an ideal client and I believe that Art Therapy should be as common as getting out for a walk or engaging in any form of self care. From low level stress to chronic mental health issues, Art therapy can play an integral role in ongoing therapy and life enhancement.

Take a deep belly breath. Exhale - slowly. All of you is welcomed here. There is a lot out there telling us what our bodies should do and should look like. This can create a very strained relationship with ourselves and make it hard to feel good in our own skin. Our bodies hold memories that influence how we act and interact with the world around us. This can perpetuate negative feelings and behaviours. The journey to healing comes through processing and working through our body's store memories to come to a wholeness, comfort and confidence within ourselves.

You may be contemplating therapy because you are struggling - feeling anxious, overwhelmed, unsettled, isolated and alone, maybe even experiencing uncharacteristic rage. You may be stuck in old patterns of coping that are no longer relevant in the present. In fact, they may be getting in the way of your peace, your potential and your happiness - in short, keeping you stuck. It doesn't have to be that way. As a client-centred, trauma-informed relational psychotherapist, I believe good relationships - intimate, familiar, communal, and especially, the one you have with yourself - are essential to feeling good.

I work and connect well with all clients, regardless of their difficulties. Clients often come with a preconceived notion that something is “wrong” with them or their choices. It is always helpful to first help them recognize that they are worthy the way they are and then work on softening that internal ‘critic’ that often contributes to self-doubt and perceived low self –esteem. “Ideal” clients will not be afraid to correct and direct me, challenge proposed tools, and join me in conceptualizing where their difficulties stem from; after all, clients are the experts on themselves.

My work is about connection. I do what I can to create a space where we can sit - without judgement or hurry - and organize our way through thoughts, experiences and feelings. Therapy can soften our gaze and invite curiosity - allowing us to make different sense of things.

Chronic pain can really wear you down, can’t it? It can feel like even the simplest tasks require immense effort and you become easily exhausted, both mentally and physically. Perhaps your pain is also causing difficulty in your relationships; the people you care about don’t understand what you’re going through or minimize or dismiss the impact of pain on your life. Are you feeling anxious, depressed, or hopeless about the future? Overwhelmed? I can help with these challenges.

Whether the issues are end-of-life planning, parenting our parents, chronic illness, dementia/alzheimer's, betrayal, estrangement, job loss, miscarriage, divorce, sudden, complicated or unexpected death, aging and transitions, or empty-nesting, we experience many similar reactions to loss. Fatigue, depression, anxiety, worry, guilt, and anger are just some of the manifestations. Trouble sleeping and self medicating with food, drugs or alcohol, even suicide seems like an alternative to the pain we carry around with us. I provide culturally sensitive counselling to a diverse community.Together we can create a more meaningful life, filled with truth, joy and love.

While we live among tremendous beauty, sometimes we also experience trauma. Along with encountering adverse events, I believe trauma is often a result of surviving within the inequities of a capitalist/colonial society. Through somatic expressive arts therapy, my practice seeks to support a creative reconnection to our senses of safety, vitality, joy, and presence. Together we will imagine new possibilities while easing patterns which were once adaptive during trauma experiences, and may no longer be supportive in the here-and-now. I use a flexible approach to therapy which is relational, experiential, resource-based and embodied.

Creating change can feel overwhelming but through supportive, non-judgmental dialogue you can begin to better cope with the feelings, thoughts and behavior patterns associated with your life's challenges and heal from trauma. In safe, respectful therapy sessions, I will support you to the very best of my abilities. With two decades of work in mental health services, I've found that no one single approach is right for everyone. Support is offered to teens, adults and their families by both myself and/or my associate Kerry O'Meara, offering lower cost sessions to make mental health services more accessible.

As a psychotherapist, my goal is to work with you on developing a more satisfying and fulfilling life. If you are feeling stuck, your anger keeps getting the better of you, you don’t seem to be able to communicate your thoughts and feel misunderstood, or you have been feeling that life has not been as enjoyable as it once was, then therapy can be a very helpful for you. In therapy, we can work together on gaining a better understanding of ourselves and what makes us act and react in the ways we do, how to change that cycle, how to communicate our needs and boundaries to our loved ones, and how to resolve distressing situations.
