My favorite tools are mindfulness strategies to acknowledge stress and manage anxiety and depression.
When it comes to managing stress, one of our greatest strengths is choosing which thoughts to trust. After attending Yorkville University as a mature student I believe it is never too late to set a new goal, dream a new dream, and choose a different action. I take a gentle and collaborative approach to counselling to help clients determine choices that are supportive of their personal values. With flexibility in mind, I have several counselling approaches to pull from.

October 2024: I have a few openings for in-person or online sessions: You want to feel seen with compassion and understanding. This helps create conditions needed to recover from anxiety, depression, grief, or other impacts of trauma. We may face family stress, loneliness, abuse, neglect, and injustices. Events may have overwhelmed you and to cope, you adapted patterns that are no longer wanted. You want to change and live with emotional freedom. If you are numbed out or in fight or flight mode you can learn to regulate your nervous system, process the past, and develop patterns so you can show up the way you want to in your life.

I provide counselling to adults, adolescents, families and couples. Many people who seek counselling do so with a particular challenge or problem in mind. Issues and concerns that bring us to counselling often broaden as the counselling process unfolds. People are often surprised that once they begin this process and discuss a particular issue, other concerns can also be recognized and explored within this confidential client/counsellor (therapeutic) relationship.

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.
