Have you ever thought that talk therapy alone isn't quite enough? My clients want to get the most out of therapy and are interested in adding EMDR and the Expressive Arts to create a counselling experience that works for them. I am a very experienced therapist with a compassionate heart and a joyful spirit. If you are living with anxiety, depression, burnout, parenting fatigue, PTSD and complex trauma, interpersonal violence and abuse, eating disorders, prenatal or new parenting stress, relationship struggle, bereavement, job loss or loss of a relationship...I can help. We will create a therapy approach uniquely designed for you.
Over 30 years of training and experience lets me integrate talk therapies (CBT, ACT, EFIT, IPNB) with EMDR, and the somatic and expressive arts therapies of Dance/Movement Therapy, art in therapy, and therapeutic writing. This unique combination helps you process past experiences without dwelling and gain the wisdom and insight to live in the present.
I strive to guide our process with expertise, patience, and genuine care. When my clients transition beyond counselling, they report past experiences seem far away, have better skills to deal with conflict, and are more self-confident. They experience more peace, and they have a positive vision of the future. Please reach out. Let's get started.
