I am a Registered Psychotherapist and hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology.

I offer Individual Therapy, Couples Therapy, Family Therapy, and Group Therapy. I enjoy working with Adults and Children / Youth (8 years and up).

Therapeutic Modalities I use include:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
  • Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT)
  • Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
  • Motivational Interviewing (MI)
  • Family Therapy
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

I offer two group therapy sessions hosted twice per year. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) for Adolescents and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) for Pain Management.

I work from an eclectic, client centred, trauma -informed, strength-based approach with the goals that the client desires to achieve through therapy. Each and every one of us carries different roles and responsibilities in our lives. From the pursuit of personal and professional goals, to supporting our family and friends, I understand life gets busy!

My approach to psychotherapy focuses on equipping clients with skills and resources to overcome barriers and achieve wellness in all areas of their lives based on their individual goals.

In my early 20s, I suffered a rare heart condition that required open-heart surgery. This was not a near-death experience; I was clinically dead for two hours as my heart was stopped to remove a large tumour. With first-hand experience of trauma, I became deeply motivated to understand the nuances of supporting clients through a trauma-informed lens. This experience also pointed me towards the significance of resilience building and strength-based approaches.

With a Masters in Clinical Psychology and nearly two decades of counselling experience, I am thrilled to support clients from all walks of life. Placing a high priority on empathy and trust within the therapeutic relationship, I approach each session with a spirit of curiosity. By identifying the unique experiences, challenges, and strengths faced by each of my clients, I can confidently move between therapeutic modalities, selecting those that best fit the circumstances of their lives.

I am a people person. I fill my life with sound, engaging and fulfilling relationships with family, friends and colleagues. In my spare time, I am a full-time mother of an adolescent who pursues swimming as a passion and a competitive sport.

Covid has made things much more difficult - situations that were manageable before can now seem overwhelming.

I understand how difficult and painful things can get and am committed to working with you in a caring way. We will work together to look at what is bothering you and holding you back from a life in which you feel more connected, balanced and empowered.

My way of working is to create a strong relationship between us and in this accepting space you can experience new ways to handle what is on your mind. Our work will include the body, emotions and discovering any old patterns that can be shifted into new energy for what you want. We can also look at unproductive thought patterns and how to feel more comfortable with current challenges.

My training and life experience have equipped me with the tools to help you. I bring experience in group therapy, a career as a non-profit professional, college instructor and significant international experience. A lifelong learner, I attend international conferences as well as trainings in mindfulness, ACT and working with trauma. As part of my ongoing psychotherapy training, I work closely with a highly experienced Registered Psychotherapist Supervisor, which ensures you the best possible support.

Many people find it very helpful to have someone to talk things over with. Let me be that for you.”

I support: - Anxiety - Depression - Relationships - Emotional Regulation - Existential/Life Purpose - Addiction/Family with Addiction - Anger Management - Grief and Loss - Trauma - Abuse or Neglectful Family of Origin
