My use of art and play therapy techniques, mindfulness, and positive psychology are customized to match your unique experiences.
Life is difficult. We all face challenges that leave us feeling sad, angry, overwhelmed and at times, stuck. Feelings change our behaviours and soon we find ourselves snapping, hating our jobs, drinking, and not eating or sleeping, among other symptoms. Suddenly we barely recognize ourselves. If you have ever told yourself that this is not the person you want to be, you are not alone. Seeking professional help is the first step in making positive change. If you are consumed by anger, hurt, worry, grief, suicidal thoughts, or using self-harm or poor coping to control pain, I can help.

I have a Masters' degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Alberta and I have completed extensive training in mindfulness and body-centered therapies.
I work with children, teens, adults and couples facing life transitions, coping problems or mental health concerns. Depression and anxiety is very common, but I also work with loss, health concerns and family problems.Therapy is about change, but it is not about changing who we are. The person we are meant to be has been here all along. Sometimes we need help to reconnect. I work with my clients to explore patterns of behavior and thought that can keep us in small and narrow places, and to reconnect to our wiser, balanced and more joyful self.

I integrate a wide variety of models including mindfulness, self-awareness (The Enneagram), adult development, and in general an understanding of capacity building: the ability to respond more effectively to the complexities and changes we face in life and work.
I work with already-stable individuals who are looking for more in their lives: more peace, more freedom, more happiness, more fulfillment, more effectiveness, deeper relationships, more meaning. I work with them in any of their life contexts: home, work, family, relationships, friends, spirituality. My clients want to be even better human beings and live more fully aligned with their deepest values. They know there's a "next level" and are looking to build their capacity to get there. They want a trusted partner to assist them on this journey.

This includes cognitive tools (cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness), body based and energy psychology tools (Emotional Freedom Techniques - EFT tapping) and art/music/movement therapies.
I work with anxiety, addiction (substance use) and chronic pain. Sometimes the little things become too much and you find you're overreacting or panicking. Maybe you can't get a situation out of your head and you're overthinking or stressed about it. Maybe you tired of numbing the pain or avoiding your problems cause it isn't helping. Sometimes our motivation is to stop passing on unhealthy patterns to our kids. Maybe you want to control your emotions so they don't control you. If you want to work on the roots of addiction and the stress and anxiety that is always brewing below the surface of chronic pain, we could be a fit.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Counsellors
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behaviour through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
