Whether you're experiencing a transition, a loss or feeling a sense of being lost and craving deeper meaning you are not alone. Anxiety, depression, chronic pain, loneliness, grief, a sense of disappointment or endings of all manner can throw us off balance. Add more than one and we can genuinely be struggling and it may be difficult for others to see the reasons for our withdrawal or anxious behaviours. There can be no judgment in the therapeutic relationship, which honours your inner strength, hopes to draw forth your resilience and begin to find your way through challenging landscapes and into deeper connections that enrich us.
With an MA in Counselling Psych, an MFA, and a MAVCS I am certified in EMDR, EFT (Leslie Greenberg), Narrative (Vancouver School), Expressive Arts, IFS, Somatic Abolitionism, Couples, Cluster-B issues, Family Systems, CBT, DBT and Existential/Logotherapy Modalities. Whichever modality fits the I/Thou relationship is the cornerstone of our work together.
Life can be unpredictable and when our connections shift quickly self-doubt, a lack of confidence in our abilities, psychic pain and feeling stuck or unsure of which direction to move in. Having been in your position I keenly understand the importance an able witness can have in trusting our movement toward contentment, meaning, connection and inner peace.

I often use Narrative, Expressive and EFT therapies in my practice. In the first session, we'll get to know what has brought you to the brave act of therapy. From there we decide how to proceed and shift as and if needed. In all modes of treatment, we will find your growing edge, expand your window of tolerance and facilitate your ability to cope with life's challenges.
