Life can be difficult, complicated and often quite overwhelming. Getting help along the way is a courageous way
to care for and support yourself as you navigate today toward better tomorrows. Taking the time to create a
healthy mindset and personalized coping strategies has never been more important so, even in the midst of life’s
challenges, you can pursue an empowered way forward to better mental, emotional, relational and spiritual well-
being.
I have a collaborative and conversational approach to discovering and understanding who you are and what
governs your sense of self and worth. The therapeutic relationship is important and protected, as I believe we
experience life in terms of relationships. We live, learn and gather our strengths as well as our hurts and scars in
relationships. It is my aim to help you embrace healing and growth in improved relationships with your authentic
self and through that all other relationships.
Although I practice in quite an eclectic manner and let the client dictate what approach works best for them, I tend
to use Psychodynamics and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as my foundational frame, and then borrow
liberally from Emotional Focus Therapy, and anything else that beneficially resonates with the individual client(s).
There may be ‘homework’ or ‘thought-work’ in between sessions, as time, intention and practice are helpful in
building and personalizing new skills for your unique life. Therapy is a dynamic and flexible process, with your
concerns guiding the process. My purpose is to encourage you to become the best therapist for you and thrive
forward with hope and purpose.
I hold a BA and a Master’s in Counselling Psychology, I am a Registered Psychotherapist (R.P.) with the College of
Registered Psychotherapists, and a member of highest standing (C.C.C. designation) with the Canadian Counselling
and Psychotherapy Association. I am also a Certified Life Coach with a previous degree in Business Administration,
and have worked in businesses, schools and religious environments. I enjoy working with diverse populations and
age groups and responding to wide variety of client concerns.
