Intregrative, Holistic and Relational
The quality of our relationships is pivotal to our health. Evidence based psychotherapy from a relational perspective holds that people are inseparable from their web of relationships. Within the context of a relationship, I facilitate experiential Interventions that focus on the relational patterns that develop in our relationships, and with ourselves., deepening emotional awareness, connecting feelings, with thoughts, beliefs and behaviours back into connection with others.
I assist individuals and couples with overwhelming feelings of anxiety, depression, anger, communication breakdowns, stresses due to changing life circumstances, family disruption, childhood/acute traumas, losses, relocation, and illness.
My experience extends to supporting people within work organizations, and equips me with skills to assist leaders, managers and employees through organizational change, managerial challenges, operational stressors, vicarious trauma due to the nature of their work, burnout, work/ life balance, demotivation at work, workplace conflict, debilitating illness (chronic pain), dealing with harassment/bullying in the workplace, intersectionality and equity issues as it relates to employee health and leadership, PTSD, and addictions,
I have been a therapist full-time for seventeen years. I nurture my skills in both individual and relational therapy, in and outside our sessions, by pursuing relevant continuing education opportunities and on-going education, and taking seriously my own personal development. I maintain in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).
