REGISTERED PSYCHOTHERAPIST
LANGUAGES : English
We all experience tension, between growing towards our potential and a sense of safety by keeping things the way they are. Without a clear understanding of how to move forward many of us experience anxiety or feel stuck. The purpose of Psychotherapy is to open up new possibilities for ourselves. There is no formula for personal growth because I believe every person’s journey is unique. Maybe you catch glimpses of your true potential, of your life as you would like it to be, but the pathway is not always obvious.
I will help you to tune into the person you really are, and enable you to orient yourself to the world based on your goals. This process is both creative and liberating!
I believe in the importance of authenticity and building a genuine connection with each person. I customize my use of skills and knowledge to the person you are. As we work together, you will arrive at a clearer understanding of yourself and grow towards fulfilling your goals.
The types of therapy that I primarily use are:
- Existential Therapy
- Adlerian Therapy
- Person-Centered Therapy
- Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
- Narrative Therapy
- Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
- Psychodynamic Therapy
Some specific issues that I can help with are:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCD)
- Attention Disorders (ADHD, Executive Functioning, Time Organization)
- Addictions & Substance Abuse
- Relationship Issues
- Loss, Grief & Bereavement
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I have a Master of Education in Counselling from Acadia University. I also have experience working as a Mental Health and Addictions Case Manager and more than a decade supporting people with developmental disabilities and mental health diagnoses.
I hope that you feel encouraged as you think about psychotherapy. Dr. Rollo May wrote the following quote about people seeking therapy: “Very often they are the more sensitive and gifted members of society”.
By considering therapy, you are already exploring the deeper responsibility of loving exactly who you are. I look forward meeting you.
