I am passionate about helping people live mentally and emotionally healthy lives. Having worked as a Mental Health Social Worker and Psychotherapist for 30 years, I believe in the potential of every person to heal, grow and develop a sense of ownership over the decisions in their lives. People often find themselves in my counselling room after they’ve been struggling for a while and can walk in feeling overwhelmed, anxious, uncertain what to do and feeling like life has just become too hard. The wonderful thing is that we can learn how to cope, we can learn how to manage and how to be more resilient.

Confidentiality, non-judgement and active listening are key foundations for building positive therapeutic outcomes. It requires honesty and openness not only by the client, but also by the therapist. There should be mutual motivation to achieve and meet goals where the therapist cares about the client developing tools to manage their life.

My work centres on trauma recovery (attachment/relational, PTSD, acute, complex), perinatal difficulties, and relational healing. I work with individuals and couples to validate and support their individual journeys, and create change in their lives. I will show you that you are not alone; that I see you and I hear you; and your struggle does not have to continue. There is a way out. I work holistically and collaboratively with you to support you in understanding your experiences; gaining insight to past and present contributing factors; increasing your self-awareness; and taking ownership of your healing and growth.

We provide a person-centred approach to brain-based therapy that is designed to educate, empower, engage, and facilitate processes of growth, self-awareness, and self-healing. Keystone Therapy has developed a model of the root causes of behaviour. The model is holistic in that it integrates neurobiological, social and cultural impacts upon the psychological processes that underlie mental health. Introducing new learning, which brings about changes in the brain, results in concomitant changes in behaviour. Thus, through utilizing the brain’s inherent ability (“neuroplasticity”) to form new neural connections new behaviours arise.
