If you're feeling disconnected, distracted, and detached from your life, it may be time to look at why. Why can't I connect, why am I not able to just "get over" my past, or why does it all feel so meaningless? Maybe there are other questions, like “what am I doing with my life” or “who do I want to be?”. It’s okay to take time that's just for you, to look at your life and see both the big picture and explore the often overlooked details. With the right support, you can feel more present, connected, and in control of your life.

Welcome. I work from a person-centred perspective that affirms your dignity, strengths and uniqueness. I provide a private space for you to share your innermost self and life experiences, knowing that you will be heard and understood. My approach is rooted in Jungian depth psychology and also integrates other branches of psychology according to your needs. From this perspective, life's crises are opportunities for personal development and growth. Therapy is a creative and unfolding process of self-discovery that seeks meaning and purpose while working through the challenges that are inherent in our shared human experience.

Therapy shouldn't feel like a chore. While it might sometimes be hard to hear what is discussed in therapy, overall you should leave feeling like you've gained something useful or even transformative. Over time, you should feel you are getting stronger, more resilient and have shed layers of fear and anxiety. Of course this process can be overwhelming at times and you might not always progress on the timeframe that you thought you would, but when therapy goes well, you should feel more settled and more clear about your life. You should gain understanding about yourself and others and have a renewed sense of purpose and passion

I work from the belief that all people make sense. From this lens, I believe all of our parts and patterns have a purpose and that more often than not this purpose is to protect us. But why do these ways of protecting ourselves sometimes feel like they are doing the opposite? Together we will bring curiosity and compassion towards this question while adapting new perspectives and reorganizing patterns within yourself, your nervous system and your relationships.

I would be honoured to walk beside you for a portion of your journey. Many of us have had earlier experiences that impact our ability to work, love, play, or achieve our full potential. By exploring the connections between body, mind and emotions, you can overcome barriers and move forward. You are courageous in taking this first step ... whether you are seeking a psychological assessment for school or work-related challenges, trauma treatment, struggling with mood or anxiety-related concerns, or dealing with LGBTQ-specific questions.

We can can all benefit from taking the time to reflect on our lives in the presence of a neutral therapist. When people encounter challenging situations or transitions, it can provide an opportunity for the development of the self. Therapy can provide an avenue to identify and interrupt old ways of thinking, feeling and behaving that are keeping one stuck. It provides an opportunity to reflect on one's life vs. automatically responding. In this process, a person is able to see things in a new light and identify different options for dealing with old problems.

Therapy is a journey back to our own wisdom, and to our physical bodies. Sometimes we can become overwhelmed with emotions, anxiety, and with life. Using a compassionate, relational approach, I can help bring you back in touch with the various parts of yourself, to see what is stuck and what has to fade in order to find the song of who you truly are. We will explore through many experiences of embodiment, parts work, roleplay, dreams, and dialogue so that through awarenesses that emerge, you will have opportunity to see your life and relationships differently, allowing you to make empowered choices for yourself and others.

Coming to the realization that reaching out for help is necessary, can be both cathartic and scary. Choosing a counsellor also has its challenges of being the right one. A positive therapeutic bond,or fit with a counsellor,can affect the outcome of the experience. It has been my privilege to help thousands of individuals, couples and groups throughout my lengthy career of 33+ years in Child Welfare, private practise and university settings. I have learned that although we share human experiences our uniqueness sets us apart from others. I treat my clients respectfully, with care and unconditional positive regard and advocacy.
