I offer individual counselling/therapy services for teens, adults, and elders throughout British Columbia and Ontario. Currently, all of my sessions are conducted online via Zoom for Telehealth.

Here is what you might expect during our work together:

In our sessions, I create a relaxed space where you can share the challenges that brought you to therapy. I listen attentively, without judgment, and together we explore your experiences, thoughts, feelings, values, and goals. Once we develop a shared understanding of your hopes for the future, we work on building awareness of old emotional patterns that may be getting in the way of your preferred ways of being. Together, we explore previously adaptive protective strategies, process difficult emotions and past experiences, and collaboratively develop new, preferred emotional patterns and ways of relating.

The therapeutic approach I use is both relational and experiential. This means that we use our therapeutic relationship as grounds to experience and develop new ways of being in the world. By exploring and processing difficult emotions in the presence of a caring and non-judgemental other, our brains and bodies register a new way of relating to both feelings and people. Through this process, clients often report thinking more clearly and compassionately about themselves, while feeling more secure and confident in their lives outside the therapy room.

My practice is primarily grounded in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), an attachment-based, experiential, relational, and emotion-focused therapy. I have received advanced training (AEDP Institute) and supervision in this approach. I am also trained in various other modalities, including Narrative Therapy. I work collaboratively with clients to tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs, preferences, and goals.

Through my personal and professional experience with therapy over the past decade, I have found that while talking and thinking about our problems can be helpful, lasting change often requires more. By focusing on the body and attending to emotional memories that keep us stuck in the past, we can achieve deeper, more enduring relief. Equally important in the therapy process is growing more comfortable with recognizing and embracing positive emotions connected to experiences of care, connection, strength, and living in alignment with our preferred ways of being in the world.

My goal in our work together is to help you find lasting relief from the challenges that brought you to therapy.

I invite you to connect for a free 15-minute consultation so we can explore how we can work together to meet your therapy goals.
