My ideal client struggles with psychological pain, feels alone, and is seeking professional help. I want to provide a therapeutic relationship between an experienced RN psychotherapist and a client who needs help managing anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, or grief. The client wants a better future for themselves by scheduling a session with a Registered Nurse Psychotherapist. The RNs all have seen a wide variety of cases and individuals having worked years as charge nurses or leadership within the hospital systems. They have many effective strategies to help you get back to yourself, and improve your future.

I am a clinical psychologist at Golden Sun Wellness & Counselling. Our clinic works with a range of issues, from daily worries and temporary life stressors to disabling psychiatric disorders. My training and experience in counselling and clinical psychology allows me to navigate these problems and help us find the best approach for your particular situation. I can help you figure out what might be wrong; learn how to think more clearly when it matters the most; how to get along with your feelings and emotions; and how to build new habits, keep them, and take effective action to achieve your goals and live your values.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

Life is about Connections…to people, to places, to memories and things. But the nature of life is that we will experience problems and challenges at some point in life. Sometimes those challenges occur suddenly or at a time when you already feel stretched too thin. Or maybe you’ve lost that feeling of connection with yourself and others in your life. Finding someone you feel comfortable talking to is an important decision in searching for the help and support that is right for you. I offer an empathic, compassionate, and confidential place to share some of life's challenges that are interfering with your quality of life.

Disconnected. Broken. Hopeless. Powerless. Stuck. Many men I work with tell me this is how they feel. You may be struggling with anxiety, anger, depression, shame, guilt, grief, sadness, or disconnect - and struggle with an addiction (sex/porn/alcohol/marijuana/video games/gambling/fantasy) or underlying thoughts, beliefs, and feelings you have held since childhood. Relationships with those you care about, including the one with yourself, may have been impacted by your behaviours. Ready to get started on your journey?

Cognitive Processing (CPT) Counsellors
How does cognitive processing therapy work?
A CPT therapist helps a client evaluate their thoughts about the trauma they experienced, focusing on maladaptive or self-blaming thoughts that can exacerbate symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or depression. The therapist will work with a client to help them learn to challenge such thoughts and consider different perspectives. The therapist is also likely to ask a client to work on these techniques at home between meetings, such as writing an account of their trauma that can be read aloud during a future session.
What is cognitive processing therapy for PTSD?
Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a form of cognitive-behavioural therapy primarily used in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to treat individuals who experienced abuse or violence, who survived natural disasters, who were first responders to such incidents, or who otherwise experienced trauma.
How long does cognitive processing therapy last?
CPT is a short-term therapy. Whether conducted one-on-one or in a group, a complete set of CPT sessions typically includes 12 weekly sessions, along with tasks for clients to complete at home, although this can vary depending on a client’s needs or a therapist’s particular treatment plan. Sessions typically last 60 or 90 minutes.
How effective is cognitive processing therapy?
A large body of research supports the use of CPT to treat people experiencing PTSD, finding it to be effective among different age groups, either in one-on-one therapy sessions or in a group therapy environment. Research suggests that although the initial sessions may be difficult, clients tend to begin to feel positive progress after the first few sessions, and that the benefits tend to last well after the therapy ends.
