Sometimes in life, the challenges we face seem insurmountable. The loss too great. The grief unbearable. We were never meant to do this alone. We are designed for relationship. Allow me to bear witness to your journey. To celebrate your successes and grieve your losses. Let me use our relationship to shed a light on who you are alone and who you are in the world.
I offer Expressive Arts Therapy, Play Therapy, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy for individuals (children, adolescents, and adults), couples, and families. I also provide adult/teen DBT Art Therapy and Psychodrama Workshops, and child Play Therapy and Sociodrama Workshops for groups, schools, and organizations. I am a clinical supervisor for psychotherapists.
Often, the first thing that comes to our awareness is a feeling that something isn't right. This is our body's way of turning our attention inward to find out what's wrong. Knowing that you want to feel better is the first step toward greater health and happiness.

I took Trevor as a supervisor during the delicate time of starting a private practice. His patience, kindness, expertise, and sense of humour were exactly what I needed to help ground me or challenge me when I needed it.

Early in treatment, I use CBT and DBT to help clients manage acute symptoms of anxiety and depression. This could look like emotion regulation or behavioural goal setting to help establish new neuropathways. As therapy progresses, I use Psychodynamic Psychotherapy to help clients access language to process thoughts and feelings, and Expressive Arts Therapy to access feelings in particular.
