I weave together several modalities including Emotionally Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness approaches and parts work (IFS informed).
Do you find yourself stuck in the same patterns, struggling to find better ways to address situations even though you know what you're doing isn't working? By focusing on relationships and attachment, I can help you get unstuck, and gain greater insight into why you do what you do, and what else might be helpful. Navigate and heal the burdens you carry. Move forward from painful dynamics. Be the best person you can be. Build the kind of relationships you desire.

My holistic approach connects mind, body, and spirit, using methods like DBT, CBT, ACT, EFT and CPT, in a trauma-informed and Adlerian manner.
Starting a journey towards healing and transformation takes a lot of courage. When you're supported by a caring and skilled professional who upholds ethical standards of this profession, that journey becomes not only manageable but also a source of empowerment. I have built my foundation on empathy, respect, and a profound understanding of how the human mind works. I' am not just a therapist; I' am genuinely enthusiastic about being a guiding presence for those who are dealing with the complexities of their mental and emotional well-being.

In strengthening our capacity for self-compassion we can begin to better understand the origins of challenging feelings such as guilt, shame, anger, regret and sadness. My approach focuses on the practice of self-compassion as the key pathway to psychological flexibility and meaningful change. Through the self-compassion lens, I will walk alongside to help you identify how behaviours, attitudes and beliefs may be negatively impacting your life. I believe that the therapeutic process can be creative and life giving. When self-compassion and acceptance are present we can truly begin the process of change.

We are all on a path of healing and discovery that leads, eventually and inevitably, to the realization of our true potential. I see psychotherapy as a powerful companion on this journey - it is a helpful friend that can help ease the burden during dark times, and it is a ray of light that can guide us more quickly beyond our own limitations when we are moving towards a goal. My practice is based in modern cognitive therapy and the neuroscience of trauma, while always anchored in the wisdom of mindfulness, acceptance and nondual awareness.

Throughout my career, acceptance of ourselves has been core to my practice.
Adversity is one thing that we can come to expect in an increasingly demanding and stressful world. When adversity overwhelms us, it can impact those parts of our lives that are most meaningful. Whether adversity presents as emotion dysregulation, anxiety, depression, grief, interpersonal conflict, addiction, anger or loss; the impact can be devastating, undermining our sense of self and confidence. These issues are at the core of my practice.

Are you looking for a confidential and non-judgmental space to vent or problem solve? I believe that everyone has a sense of autonomy and resilience, and sometimes a supportive environment is needed to reinforce those strengths that are within each one of us. I view the therapeutic process according to the client-centered framework, which places empathy and unconditional positive regard at the forefront. I combine this humanistic approach with cognitive techniques from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing.

If you've experienced sexual abuse (rape, childhood sexual abuse, harassment) it's likely you noticed changes in how you think, feel and act. Maybe you believe that you deserve what happened or that there was something you should have done to stop it. You may see the world as a dangerous place and people as untrustworthy. You're likely on edge, hypervigilant and feel out of control of your emotions - or maybe you don't feel them at all. You can't sleep, relationships are difficult, you feel haunted by your memories, sex and intimacy aren't as they used to be, and it feels like nothing you've tried works. This is trauma.

I believe that many symptoms are adaptations intended to provide temporary relief from painful circumstances. However in the longer term, these adaptations can exacerbate distress. My practice focuses on helping people to develop more sustainable ways of coping, including examining your beliefs, accepting difficult emotions, and increasing self-awareness.
