Online Counselling for M6C

With over 30 years of clinical experience, I welcome Children, Teens, Adults, Couples & Families into my practice who are facing anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief, addiction, chronic pain/illness, or stress from relationship conflicts. I specialize in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Relapse Prevention Therapy, and Self-Care which are personalized to your unique circumstance. I also provide a special Couple's Program and a Deeper Healing Program that addresses pain and utilizes strength to repair.

I came to Gestalt Psychotherapy after a decade of teaching yoga and meditation workshops in Canada, Greece, Mexico and Nicaragua. I noticed that wisdom practices (such as meditation, yoga, breath-work, and reflection) lead people to face vulnerability and perhaps even pain inside their minds, hearts and bodies. Many people have insights about themselves, but they believe they can mentally figure it out on their own. We are not meant to do all the processing on our own. The therapeutic relationship allows us the support of a compassionate and trained witness so we can explore what is present.

I offer individual virtual therapy for adults and young people (16+), often focusing on themes including: anxiety, depression, difficult life transitions, relationship concerns (with family, partners, friends), personal safety, responding to challenging emotions, sex & sexuality, gender identity and self-worth. With over 18 years of social work practice in the mental health field, I have spent the last 8 years providing individual therapy, working with young people and adults across diverse identities and experiences in a variety of community & post-secondary mental health services.
