While psychological therapy can address some deep and painful issues, it doesn't need to be all about pain and suffering. In fact, it is often more about understanding yourself and others differently. It is about learning how to cope with challenging situations such as relationship dissatisfaction, uncertainty over the future, transitioning from one situation to another, handling strong emotions like fear, loss, or anger, and healing pains from the past. These universal experiences can be overwhelming. I can help you navigate them more smoothly and set yourself up for success on the other side of it.

Are you often perplexed by your emotional reactions to things that happen to you? Do you struggle with low self-worth that undermines your sense of confidence? Or, have you experienced trauma that has adversely affected your sense of safety and security? Do you desire to have more fulfilling relationships? To feel safer in your own body? To better decode why you feel the way you do? If you have answered yes to anyone of these questions, I invite you to reach out to me to see how I can help you move toward a more empowered life.

As a life coach and counsellor, I see my role as one where I hold space for my clients to explore their highest potential. Life can bring heaviness, thus learning to view it from a mindfulness lens can lead to greater fulfillment and personal peace. I wish for my clients to experience personal growth, that they achieve a greater understanding of themselves and their strengths, so that they may cope and thrive under any circumstances. I specialize in parenting and career-related stress, as well as coping with difficult medical diagnoses. The work we do together is collaborative, compassionate and grounded in trust.

At times, many of us contend with emotions and suffering that are overwhelmingly painful, disheartening and difficult to bear, often as a result of unique stressors and events. I work with adults, adolescents, families and step-families using Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, interpersonal psychotherapy, and DBT/CBT within neuroscience and attachment frameworks. I encouraged clients to access inner strengths and free their capacity for growth. Whether you or a family member experience depression, anxiety, marital distress or difficulties with peers, you deserve support in a confidential, accepting, safe and caring environment.

With over twenty years of experience working in the field, I know that we are all hardwired for healing and connection, even when feeling confused and overwhelmed by life challenges.

I have experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, regulating difficult emotions and self-esteem. I provide service to individuals (13 yrs.+), couples and families.

You’ve made the courageous choice to explore therapy as the next step in your journey. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with anxiousness, helplessness, anger, or sadness, you are not alone. These emotions, while uncomfortable, are common to the human experience. Not only is it hard to talk about these feelings, but it can also be challenging to get the help you need. We view therapy as a space for you to reflect and process your emotions, thoughts, and interactions, while taking steps towards the changes you hope to see in your life.

My sessions are 90 MINUTES LONG. Other therapists usually have 50 or 60 minute sessions and are often too short to really get into the "meat" of a problem. Longer sessions equals FASTER progress, FEWER sessions and LESS cost. So, let's begin today. You can feel better...regardless of your life situation. Whether you're feeling down, irritable, anxious or worried, Dan is no stranger to the problems that you face. Maybe you feel dissatisfied with your relationship...or your life. Ongoing problems can be distressing and painful. It's time to make a change... now... today.

Life can at times, be overwhelming. The reality is that at some point, we all will struggle. The challenges of our lived experiences, upbringing, financial constraints and relationships can get the better of us. Such experiences can make us feel helpless, hopeless and lost. For those struggling, it is not always easy to seek help. I am here to offer my support by taking on a holistic approach where counselling sessions will help you navigate the challenges that life has to offer. We can discuss ways in which to cope, some strategies to stay engaged and resources available in the community to offer support.

Sometimes, unimaginably difficult circumstances can be overwhelming. Sometimes, daily life can be too. If you find yourself wondering how on earth you ended up where you are, and you don't know how (or even if) you can change things for the better, maybe the best place to start is exactly where you are. In those challenging times, it helps is to sit with a person who listens, and who holds your truth gently and carefully. By looking at your truth side by side with someone who sees it as you do, you may begin to understand it in a new way... and perhaps even see a way forward.

I focus on providing a respectful, compassionate space; supporting clients to discover what they need to feel more satisfied in all aspects of their lives. In addition to client centered reflective listening, I also use cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and body psychotherapy approaches. I have more than 20 years of counselling experience and enjoy working with people of all ages.

Reaching out for support takes a tremendous amount of courage and I commend you for taking this first step. It can be difficult opening up to someone about our problems and feelings. Having a professional to talk to can provide guidance through hard times and a new way of looking at situations that occur in our lives. I encourage you to give it a try and wish you the best on your journey towards wellness.

The need for personal growth and change often motivates individuals to seek out psychotherapy. Disharmony within our sense of self and others can lead us to experience thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that prevent us from living our happiest and most authentic selves. The process of self-exploration experienced through psychotherapy moves us toward an increased awareness of how these dynamics operate within our lives, and forges a commitment toward actions that yield positive change.

Are you seeking answers? Answers about why you or your child are struggling academically, behaviourally or emotionally? Answers about why it is so hard to stay focused and be organized? Have you wondered if your child could be gifted? Have you been feeling lonely, sad, worried or unmotivated? Do you wonder why your relationships with others are strained? Have you asked yourself how you will ever feel happy again after what you have been through? Are you seeking answers about how you can get unstuck, thrive and be the best you possible?

Are you ready to make change to your life and relationships? As an experienced psychotherapist I have worked with several couples and families in addition to individuals by helping them manage difficult life challenges. I specialize working with mood disorders such as anxiety, depression, anger and grief, and helping clients cope with stress and trauma. I enjoy working with couples and families and guide them towards reconnection, trust and love. If you decide to go with me, I help you make positive transformations to your life by identifying and achieving your specific therapeutic needs and goals.

I feel passionately that each one of us has the potential to live our best lives, to experience healing and walk in freedom. The journey of life can at times throw us twists and turns, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, ashamed and sometimes hopeless. I desire to create a safe and compassionate space where vulnerabilities and hurts can be gently held and insightfully explored leading to deeper healing and freedom. I may not know all the answers but I know the questions to ask to help us to navigate the journey and discover the answers specific to your personal experience.

Living through times of change is challenging! Whether you are dealing with the loss of a marriage or trying to cope with the death of a loved one, times of change are confusing and filled with uncertainty. Questions like, "How do I get to where I want to go?" and "How will I live beyond the pain?" do not seem to have easy answers and often times, talking to a friend or a loved one is not enough. Engaging in a therapeutic relationship can assist you to unleash the past, live in the present and create new dreams for the future.
