Health Psychology; Phd Insomnia; PhD Clinical Psychology.
I believe a small change in just one person doesn’t only change them, it can change relationships, family, community and future generations. Together we will determine goals, as well as identifying what achieving these goals might look like. I will strive to meet your treatment needs in the most effective and efficient way possible. My first priority when introduced to a potential new client or family is to get to know you, and to discuss your hopes in terms of working with me.

Namaste! I provide individual, relationship and marriage counselling, in a nonjudgmental, relaxed environment. Over the last 35 years I have worked with individuals and couples guiding, teaching and helping them by using an eclectic approach, and a variety of different types of modalities depending on the particular needs of my clients. I also provide family mediation and relationship counselling for couples who have split. I am a sex therapist, working with all couples and individuals. I specialize in many areas, as I believe all issues are connected, so to treat problems in isolation is unrealistic and can be short lived.

As a parent and a Child & Family Therapist for 24 yrs, I understand how raising children can be challenging yet one of the important jobs we do. The proverb “It takes a village to raise a child” resonates with me as it may with you, especially if your child is experiencing social, emotional &/or behavioural challenges. Perhaps your child deals with significant anxiety, is having difficulty managing emotions or coping with major family changes, or experienced trauma. Or, maybe you’re a parent just looking for some guidance, or you have an infant/toddler & want to learn more about building a healthy relationship right from the start.

The overthinking and harsh self judgment usually do not announce themselves. They settle in gradually, one loop building on another, until one day you realize you have lost track of who you actually are. A great many of my clients, including teens and young adults, know this experience and are also navigating anxiety, perfectionism, ADHD, PMDD, or the steady pressure of expectations that never seem to ease. I create a warm, collaborative space where you can slow down, feel genuinely heard, and begin untangling what has been holding you back. The work we do together is grounded, practical, and shaped around the reality of your life.

My philosophy as a psychotherapist has been informed by my own healing journey. I have learned, in an embodied way, that we are shaped by our lived experiences, that emotions are a part of the innate wisdom of our bodies, that vulnerability is hard, that humans naturally want to move towards wholeness, and that telling our story, and claiming it, is essential to finding wholeness.
My approach to therapy is rooted in the principle that the mind, emotions, body and soul work collaboratively to survive our experiences and express our needs. Sometimes, because of our strong instinct to survive, we can find it hard to pause and notice.

Sleep or Insomnia Counsellors
How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.
Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.
Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.
What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
