Why Choose Therapy?

Clients choose to have psychotherapy for a variety of reasons ranging from experiencing difficulty with relationships, parenting, children or family dynamics, grief, life transitions, mental health difficulties, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, suicide, addictions, or past trauma that is affecting daily life.


As an educator for many years, I also see clients with educational and learning difficulties, low self-esteem, ADHD, and others looking to develop coping and resiliency skills, mindfulness, and meditation practices. A psychotherapist can help you create a more harmonious life and satisfying relationships.

  • Safe Place For Self Expression

    Psychotherapy offers a space where you can step outside of family/work/life dynamics and get understanding from an impartial 3rd party. Part of healing is to be able to say what’s happening in your life without feeling judged, intimidated or defensive. It’s an opportunity to explore feelings, words and actions when working through difficult life situations.

  • Improve Sense Of Self & Emotional Well Being

    A psychotherapist will help you re-discover your inner light and spark. We all need to feel whole and complete. Doubt, insecurities, fear, internal/external pressure or pain often cloud the way we see ourselves.

  • Develop Coping & Resiliency Skills

     Sudden life challenges such as loss or illness force us to re-evaluate our life. When we are facing many challenges or our emotions are too much to handle or when life has become difficult and seems unmanageable, reaching out to a professional can help by providing you skills, strategies and tools to help you cope.

  • Promote Positive Mental Health ~ Keep you on track

    People often think that you have to have a crisis or be in crisis to receive counselling or psychotherapy. Receiving support when life is going well is often as important as receiving it when things aren’t going well. Everyone needs a support network, cheering section, someone to listen and a place for safe expression of thoughts, feelings and behavior.

  • Lessen Anxiety And Depression

    For some people, Anxiety and Depression are constant. Sharing your thoughts, feelings, fears, concerns with a qualified mental health professional can help alleviate stress, help you to set goals and put a realistic, personal wellness plan into place.

  • Improve Mood & Mindset

    Exploring issues, recognizing your strengths, putting together an individualized plan with goals, helps to boost your mood and mindset. A psychotherapist/counsellor holds you accountable while providing a neutral, non judgemental setting. Using a variety of tools such as guided meditation and challenging old mindsets will empower you to become the best version of yourself.

  • Build Relationships And Perspective

    A psychotherapist can help to assess difficulties and provide opportunities to change the way we think, feel, behave, perceive the world and relate to those around us, therefore, improving communications skills, empathy and relationships.

  • Grief And Bereavement

    Life challenges and losses can be overwhelming. Loss of employment, moving, a diagnosis of a life limiting illness or chronic condition, divorce, separation, death of a pet or  death of a loved one, life's transitions  – all take their toll on you. Everyone grieves differently and in their own time. Talking to a psychotherapist can help us process what we are feeling.

What is Psychotherapy?

An opportunity to explore our thoughts, behaviors, feelings with a qualified mental health professional: 

  • to achieve a more satisfying life,
  • better relationships,
  • an understanding of self and others
  • enhance communication.
  • Let go of what we've been pushing down, avoiding, holding back
  • challenge our beliefs, perceptions
  • figure out our road map in life


  • The techniques while varied all serve the same purpose to develop a positive client/therapist relationship,
  • to assess difficulties and provide opportunities to change the way we think, feel, behave, perceive the world and relate to those around us.

How Does it Work?

  • Sessions are client centered, and offer a place for “safe expression”. 
  • A 15 minute phone consultation to ask questions and get a sense if this is the right client/counsellor fit for you is optional.
  • An Intake Session is an opportunity for the counsellor/client to engage in a question/answer discussion to find out your story, strengths, areas identified by you as concerns, needs, underlying factors and core issues.
  • Sessions will delve into topics further with the opportunity to use a variety of modalities and techniques. 
  • When you have reached a certain point in therapy  - you may want to spend a session reflecting on what you have learned, celebrate your accomplishments and progress and remember the tools and strategies to use.
  • Then take time to live life.
  • Come back to therapy for the occasional check in on an as needed basis.

Our Approach

Our counselling approach uses varied techniques and aligns with what works best for you.

  • Mindfulness /Energy Work

    Left-brain—Right-Brain Hemisphere work, as studied by Dr. Siegel. Chakras are linked to physical disease, while meridians are connected to emotions: breath work, Techniques, Meditation, visualizations, and body scans.

  • Body, Mind and Soul Approach

    This approach to wellness builds an understanding of how you connect to the world around you. When one aspect of our lives is out of sync it affects other areas. Building understanding will help you create better relationships, communication and sense of self.

  • Inner Child Work

    Exploring our unmet needs from childhood often helps us regain control, experience joy, and reconnect with our inner child.

  • Spiritual Work

    Exploration of our belief systems and their origins may assist us in debunking myths and empowering ourselves to examine what we believe and how we behave, realign our thoughts, and author our own stories.

  • Transpersonal Therapy

    It focuses on Mental, Emotional, Physical, Social, Creative, and intellectual needs. It emphasizes a whole-person approach, recognizing that we are more than our mind and body.

  • Somatic Body Work

    Body Centered/Touch Therapy. Our body holds our experiences over time. When we experience trauma, the first step to releasing it from our energy field is to become aware of the trauma, allowing for physical release. Through touch and guided questions comes awareness of sensations & experiences.

  • CBT & DBT

    CBT is cognitive Behavior Therapy. When we understand how we think, feel, and behave, we gain insight into our choices and actions and learn tools and strategies to adjust our perceptions and mindsets.
