Therapists in V6H

Conflicts. Heartache. Angst. Chronic worry. Fear. Prolonged Sadness. Anger. You probably tried to deal with your struggles on your own, but you are not meant to suffer alone. Most of us reach out for help to family and friends. But sometimes you need more. You need someone who knows how to help you through your difficulties. You need someone who will hear, understand and help you find your way out of darkness. You need someone who can help you develop the courage to say no to toxic choices and yes to life-affirming decisions.

Sometimes it’s hard to notice when things aren't going well. It might be subtle signs that pop up at the end of the day. You feel like the day is going well and you’re keeping busy. But as soon as you have a moment of silence, your mind starts to cycle through things that you just don't want to think about. Do you find it hard to sit still and be at peace in these moments? Do you distract yourself as much as possible just so you don’t listen to your own thoughts? Maybe you have a hard time completing any of your important tasks? These are all normal reactions. Signals that your body is giving you to pay attention to.

Overwhelmed by life's challenges? Whether it's the grip of anxiety, depression, complex relationships, impulsive habits, medications, or feeling lost, or disconnected, you're not alone in this. With a background in addiction and substance use counselling, I’ve walked alongside clients to figure out what practical insights, tools, and resources to draw on to move forward. Originally from Winnipeg (Peg city crew), my approach is based in CBT and Taoist and Buddhist philosophy. Successes with clients in areas of personal well-being, relationships, family, behavioral health, coping, and adapting to changes inform our work together.

I work with children aged 7 and up, youth, and adults/parents. All persons and conversations are unique. Therefore the way I work mostly depends on what you might ask for help with. I always want treatment to be effective, so I aim to integrate a variety of evidence-based techniques into a plan that is uniquely suited to each client.

Everyone is unique. Most therapies attach a label to guide their choice of treatment. I believe that everyone has arrived at their issue through a series of experiences that have uniquely shaped their minds. I ask myself two key questions, what’s that about? And how can I use it? What this leads to is a way of working that is completely tailored to the client’s way of thinking. I fit techniques and interventions from a wide range of other approaches including CBT, Gestalt, NLP and positive psychology into a bespoke approach suited to the client.

I enjoy working with a diversity of clients and/or their family members who are have both mental health and substance use issues, including trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance or behavioral addictions, life transitions (loss, relationships, career), and mental suffering and distress.

Welcome to Integrated Counselling and Somatic Therapy. A question for you: If you take this moment to gently pause, or slow down a little. Perhaps notice your breathing. May I ask: what is most important to you? Knowing the answer is sometimes easy, sometimes elusive. It usually lights the way forward. If you are struggling with unresolved trauma, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship or career issues or feeling dissatisfied with life, growth and healing are attainable.

Beginning counselling is an intimidating process and I congratulate you for making it this far! It is an impressive accomplishment to take action with your mental health and you should be proud of yourself.

I can provide a supportive, non-judgemental space to help you access these tools.
