Are you dealing with anxiety, stress, overwhelm or struggling with emotional eating or food addiction? Would you like to learn how to make healthier decisions, apply new skills to cope with stressors and develop new perspectives? It takes courage to embark on the therapeutic journey and allow for positive change to occur. I am a Registered Psychotherpist and Registered Holistic Nutritionist offering weight loss therapy and therapy to support stress, overwhelm and anxiety. My role is to do that alongside you as you and create a safe and compassionate environment for you to explore personal healing and growth.
Since embarking on my training in psychotherapy in 2003, I have continually encountered evidence reaffirming the crucial role of the therapeutic relationship in facilitating positive outcomes. Together, we can establish and nurture a trusting therapeutic alliance, where your feelings and thoughts are not only valued but also progressively understood with increasing accuracy and awareness. This holds true for both individuals and couples seeking therapy.
Our clinic centres intersectional 2SLGBTQIA+ mental health and wellness. We are a collective of queer-identified counsellors providing queer and gender affirming therapy to individuals, couples & partners, and families. We are also a neurodivergent team, and offer specialized support around Autism and ADHD. We have a diverse team with a variety of lived/living experiences and professional qualifications to support you along your journey.
Licensed Professional Counsellor, RPC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
I'm committed to modeling positive behavior, offering encouragement, empathizing deeply, and providing unwavering support as you navigate challenging past experiences that resurface and impact your present life. Through a journey of acceptance, understanding, and utmost confidentiality, you'll have the space to welcome your inner healing process. Your decision to pursue inner healing will be met with my utmost respect and honor.
The combination of my past work experience in human services, my 25+ years in private practice, and my life experience, I have learned that every person is unique and faces unique challenges. I have developed a multi modal approach to therapy as I find drawing on techniques from several approaches allows me tailor my sessions to meet the needs of each client, depending on their situation, their values and their needs.
Life is full of challenges and at times such challenges may leave one feeling overwhelmed or stuck and unsure how to move forward. Whether what one is facing is a minor or a major concern, engaging in therapy can be helpful in many ways. Through talk therapy my aim is to gain and understanding of the uniques ness of each individual and to assist them to
manage the stresses they face
recognize there own strengths
bring clarity to their thoughts, emotions and feeling
define their goals
identify and assess possible courses of action
and
move forward with intention
