Provider information

Description

With over 27 yrs of experience, I am passionate to work with adults who struggle with anxiety, chronic pain, stress, grief, depression, low self-esteem, regulating intense emotions/mood instability, sense of emptiness, interpersonal struggles, & work/life balance struggles. I have marvelled at people’s abilities to be resilient while also struggling with a racing mind and/or experiencing intense emotions. I enjoy listening to people’s stories & finding the most effective therapeutic approach to assist them with reconnecting to their inner capacity and wisdom.

Summary

The therapy I offer is eclectic in nature, going back to the whole person model (human diamond) I assess your strengths & growing edges & hear what your thoughts are on the model & how it applies to you. Do you know your thoughts & able to reframe those that are unhelpful & inaccurate? Do you have intense emotions that can last for hrs to days, struggling to let go? Depending on how you answered these questions I then tailor my approach highlighting what you are good at, validating what you already know is healthy for yourself and target with you those growing edges in a collaborative manner.
