Waitlist for new clients
After attending our groups, clients report feeling less isolated, more connected with others, and more able to handle difficult emotions and stressful situations. Whether their default is to express their anger outwards or direct it inwards as resentment and self-criticism, my clients present with a desire to stop damaging the relationships they care the most about. Many show up to learn how to deal better with someone close who displays a lot of anger. My clients want to create intimate relationships, emotional intelligence, and conflict resolution. They want to take ownership of their lives and feel proud of their choices.

I am a therapist who works from where people are at, wherever that may be. This involves being non-judgemental, respectful, and providing a safe environment where individuals can work through and explore their personal issues. I have over 20 years experience that also includes working in the field of mental health outpatient services. When someone enters my virtual office, I try to fully understand, to the best of my ability, that individual's circumstance so that we can work collaboratively together and meet that person's goals. Together we explore one's inner and outer experience.

I help you get to the root of your problems, train your brain to be more resilient, and overwrite unwanted default programming so you can make lasting change. 95% of your thoughts and behaviours are processed in your unconscious mind, which is why, even though you might want something better for yourself, you find yourself stuck. I use evidence-based techniques like hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and neurofeedback to help you access your unconscious mind, and reprogram unwanted thoughts and behaviour patterns for good.
