Stepping into therapy can be an empowering step towards healing and growth. Many individuals seek therapy for a variety of reasons, such as depression, anxiety, phobias, relationship issues, and a lack of meaning in their lives. If you are driven to grow, develop, and explore your own path in life, then psychotherapy can be a powerful tool to help you live with higher levels of awareness and consciousness. I do integrate BrainSpotting and EMDR to help access parts of the brain that are difficult to reach through conventional therapy methods, allowing allowing for deeper healing and transformation in just a few sessions,

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

In a quiet, comfortable and cosy garden - like office location, I work with clients on life transitions, parenting when parenting becomes a tiresome task finding the gift to raising a child. I am a certified anger consultant and grief counselor working with those experiencing the many forms of loss. In addition, I work with the special needs population and their families, socialization training, teaching sexual boundaries and safe practices, while remembering the siblings of those families who often inadvertently get lost in the efforts made to the special person.

Many of the ways we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us are highly influenced by the relational and emotional climate we grew up in. I believe that gaining insight into these dynamics and how they operate in conscious and unconscious ways in our personal lives puts us in a position to make mindful and intentional choices that lead to flourishing and a rich experience of life.

My style is collaborative, client-centered, positive-energy, and solution-focused. I support my clients in developing solutions based on their goals and aspirations. My ideal client is one who is willing to "go deep," to learn about aspects of personality, behavior, and character that can contribute to developing a more profound sense of joy and fulfillment. Many of my clients are searching for the meaning and purpose of their lives:exciting work! On a personal level, I am warm, caring, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I read widely and draw from the fields of neurobiology, sleep medicine, and addiction medicine.

Do you feel anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, or frustrated much of the time? Are your relationships plagued by conflict and miscommunication? Or, do you feel like you’ve lost direction in life? You are not alone. The demands and stresses of modern life are challenging to navigate, and it’s easy to get off track. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

I believe our lived experiences and hopes for the future provide us with insights to help understand our pain, joy, struggles, triumphs, and deepest questions. The late poet and essayist Audre Lorde reminds us that "our feelings are our most genuine paths to knowledge." Using an intersectional, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed framework, I embark on a collaborative journey with clients who want to reflect on their experiences and unpack symptoms related to anxiety, depression, and trauma that may impact their relationships and daily lives.

Behind each difficult emotion, lies a valuable lesson. To get through life's obstacles, we need connection, compassion and acceptance. I offer a non judgmental look into how you came to be, so that feelings can be felt and not shut out. By inviting these feelings in & processing them together, we challenge our avoidance/fear so you can be seen right where you are at. This compassionate approach rebuilds the relationship with yourself and gets to the root of change. Change does not come from saying "this is where I want to be and I'm not there now." It happens when we start to understand the purpose a behavior/feeling serves for us.

Are your existing coping skills not feeling effective enough? Do you feel overwhelmed often? You might be thriving in some aspects of your life, but feeling unhappy or unfulfilled in other areas. Well, you're not alone. We all struggle with some level of anxiety, stress, burnout, and other difficult feeling states. It's part of being human in this very complex and demanding culture that we live in today. With so many things "to-do," goals to accomplish, and people to please, it's easy to feel disconnected from what truly matters and brings meaning to life. Living on an autopilot survival loop. Can you relate?

Our capacity to connect, both with ourselves (i.e. our passions, feelings, and body) and with others, is crucial to our feelings of well-being. When we connect, we generally feel a sense of aliveness in ourselves and the world. When we can't connect, we feel anxious, isolated, empty, or depressed. I feel my job is to help clients to more fully connect to the range of their experiences. I help adults, adolescents, and couples explore why they lose connection. I help them identify, understand, and overcome the deep root of their disconnection. I help them find well-being, which gives me great joy.
