Divorce Therapists in Claremont

At a young age I began to discern my high levels of empathy for those in pain & this I believe in part is because of my own story of brokenness. People tended to open up to me quite easily about their personal stories. My whole heart gravitated towards the helping profession specifically within the spaces of healing, empowering , inspiring & teaching. I unequivocally know that my life's work is to help others to become products of their purpose and not their pain.To flourish in the areas of emotion, relationships, meaning, accomplishment and engagement. ( Martin Seligman). To thrive and not merely survive.

Are you experiencing anxiety or panic attacks, ranging from general anxiety which you can't pinpoint, to full on attacks that make you feel as though you are dying?

I have been in practice for over 20 years, seeing adults, teens and couples for psychotherapy. My approach is psychoanalytic psychotherapy which is informed by attachment and infant research into how the mind develops and best heals within the context of a therapeutic relationship.

I am a qualified counsellor and coach with experience helping individuals and couples move through challenging times. I have a passion for helping clients gain insight into their behaviors, thoughts and feelings in order to create meaningful change. My goal is to create an atmosphere of safety and support so that my clients can explore their challenges while building the skills they need to move forward. I believe that everyone has the power within themselves to make positive changes, and I strive to assist them on their journey of healing.

Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile. I understand how difficult it is to access therapy and I pride myself in providing a welcoming, safe and inclusive therapeutic experience. I believe in using evidence-based therapeutic interventions and the primary modalities which I incorporate include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Individual Trauma-Focused Treatment. I have a special interest in supporting adolescents and adults who have experienced trauma, grief/loss, sexual abuse, anxiety and depression.

In the fast paced, consumer-focused world we live in, it can be difficult to slow down and just “be”. I am passionate about providing a confidential, safe, warm and trusting space where clients feel secure enough to express themselves freely. As a therapist I am here to support, provide nonjudgmental guidance, and assist clients with desired changes and an opportunity for real growth.

We are emotional beings who often need support, understanding someone to witness different aspects of our lives. As a therapist, I am able to offer a safe and containing space to help you journey through difficult aspects of your life.

We all face challenges, struggles, change, grief, trauma together with the joys that life brings. But if here, it is not the joy the life but the pain and distress that has prompted you to seek the help of a Psychologist. I am a Psychologist with over 20 years experience as a Psychologist with experience in adolescent-, adult and couples' therapy. I am accepting, warm, and supportive. I value the opportunity to engage with persons from adolescence to the elderly and cherish the important role that I can play in the pursuit we all have to truly understand and give meaning to the stressors of life.

I see children, adolescents and adults. I have a particular interest in supporting families, whether parenting, managing life transitions, adoption, relationship or family struggles, dealing with chronic or life-threatening illness. I have many years of experience working with undergraduate and graduate students, and working professionals.

Everyone has ups and downs in their journey of life, but sometimes you need additional support to navigate particular low points. Your thinking may be cyclical, so addressing the problem from multiple angles, with various lenses, can be the breakthrough that is needed. I work with a Humanistic and Positive Psychology framework that sees you as whole and focuses on your strengths. You are not your trauma, your grief, or your diagnosis. I want to help you to improve your quality of life and to fulfill your potential. I also use Resilience coaching to look at your mental, physical and emotional needs, to identify growth areas.

Professional counsellors seeking supervision in the focus areas of Addiction and general adult psychotherapy, to address the areas of Therapeutic alliance i.e. transference & counter-transference; Case management; Ethics in Clinical Practice; Support and Burnout prevention.

Counselling provides a safe space to explore the problems that trouble all of us on this journey through life. We address behaviours, emotions and thoughts that are no longer serving us or which prevent us to optimally perform in different areas of our lives. This unfolding and unraveling may ultimately lead to improved relationships, new coping mechanisms, increased sense of self awareness, and personal development. My approach is warm and collaborative and I value the therapeutic relationship as a tool for meaningful change.

At times we may feel stuck or overwhelmed. We may know what is causing unease or pain, but often we struggle to understand the cause. A therapy relationship at these times, can bring better understanding and help you think in new ways about yourself, your relationships and your journey forward.

Counselling has become a part of my life and I believe that we should all strive to be our true authentic self. Counselling is not just a career but a calling where I can see how my purpose fuels my passion. Working as an effective, competent counsellor is what drives the level of integrity and willingness to see a difference in clients’ lives. Therefore I am dedicated to provide psychological services to individuals, toddlers, adolescents, young adults, adults, groups, couples and families. My aim is to create a space where clients can be their authentic self's.
