I am blessed to work in a profession that I love. I have tremendous

respect for my clients and their courage in making meaningful changes

to improve their lives. So many of us feel broken and alone and taking

action to change can be overwhelming. Often through childhood we

develop coping behaviours that serve to protect us at the time and end

up limiting us as we grow. These adaptive behaviours practiced over

time become automatic, leading us to believe that this is who we are,

versus how we’ve learned to survive.

​

I work with clients to help them gain awareness of the patterns that

play out in their lives and uncover the limiting beliefs and behaviours

that drive them. By gaining awareness and understanding how we

learned this, the purpose it served and how it serves or limits us today,

we can transform. We can get back to our authentic self, free of shame,

judgment, anxiety and self-doubt. We can be fully aware & learn to love

and accept ourselves, no longer needing to keep ourselves small or

hidden or acting out in ways that don’t feel positive, healthy or

authentic.

​

We often judge our feelings as good or bad & criticize ourselves for the

“bad” feelings that we “shouldn’t” have.  I work with clients to have full

access to all of their emotions and how to be with them in a healthy,

functional and productive way.

I use a variety of tools (modalities) based on the individual. I help my

clients find their own answers, their own truths. You are your own best

expert. I act as a guide to assist you in finding out what is right for you.

I work with the more traditional talk therapy as well as body

psychotherapy and energy work to incorporating new scientific

breakthroughs which show how we can create new neuropathways due

to the neuroplasticity of the brain.

​

I’m a believer in the mind body connection. For those of us who tend to

intellectualize issues as well as for people who don’t have conscious

access to past traumatic events, somatic (body) psychotherapy can be

an excellent option. Everything that has happened to us in the past is

stored in our bodies and we can access and uncover so much when

working this way.

​

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique/Tapping) is another very effective

tool and uses the mind and body to rewire the emotional patterns

within, bringing relief from anxiety, fear, anger, frustration, sadness,

trauma, cravings, and phobias. It is particularly effective in working

with trauma and the after effects of trauma, PTSD.

​

I offer sessions in person (office or nature walks), over the telephone or

via video conferencing (Zoom).
