I believe therapy is a sacred space that offers clients the opportunity to take a pause from the constant distractions presented in life in order to engage and reflect on our inner and outer worlds. I am committed to ensuring that clients feel seen, heard, and respected, and that our conversations lead to unique transformations achieved through empowerment. I work with individuals, couples, children, and families and offer a free consultation to see if I am the right therapist to support you through this journey.  

Life can be really challenging at times and while we love our family and friends, they tend to give advice rather than practical tools for navigating those challenges. Sometimes they even get upset when we don't do what they tell us to! Therapy is different -- you get an unbiased listener who will teach those practical skills and offer realistic suggestions, rather than advice. Best of all, you will feel supported regardless of your decision. Whether you just want someone to bounce ideas off of, to finally start working on those unprocessed traumatic memories that we can't just "get over", or anything in between, I offer a safe place to work through your unique situation on your timeline. You will never feel pressured to talk about something that you aren't ready to, but you will feel supported enough to do so. I'm looking forward to meeting with you!

I find clients are looking to understand themselves, to find reasons they struggle the way they do, and discover how they got where they are. We've all been influenced by our experiences, whether good or bad. Good healthy experiences give us the tools and confidence to navigate life, but what happens when our experiences have been far from good? A child experiencing abuse, trauma, loss, and neglect believes they deserve it or it's their fault, not knowing the adults in their lives are responsible to help them feel secure and confident. Negative childhood experiences often throw individuals into feeling too much responsibility, becoming people pleasers, carrying much shame and guilt, feeling like a burden, social awkwardness, experiencing cognitive distortions, depression, addictions, loss of identity, anxiety and panic disorders, inter-relational problems, lack of confidence, and a lack of boundaries. Clients need to know they're not to blame and there's hope to experience a healthier and purposeful life, the life they were meant to have. Clients need to know they belong, they matter and are not a mistake. If you want to find freedom, purpose, contentment, and healing schedule a 30 minute free consultation to explore whether we'd be a good fit to journey together to a better you.  

My approach is relational and experiential. I consider our therapeutic relationship to be a the centre of our work together. Through building trust and a safe space, we will be able to explore more deeply the areas in your life that are causing suffering. I believe there is a strength in our ability to be vulnerable and to feel deeply. Together we will work with the feelings that may be stuck or hidden, and how to integrate them as part of your whole human experience.  

If you're feeling overwhelmed, confused by your closest relationships, or affected by difficult experiences from your past, you don't have to keep pushing through all on your own. Perhaps you don't recognise the person you've become. Or maybe the ways you've coped before just aren't working any more. That's why I'm here; I'd be honoured to come alongside you and create the space to process the challenges you're facing, together.  

I help my clients/patients feel comfortable to begin therapy. I have gone through this process as a client and as a therapist many times. Feeling understood and having someone help you take a look at what is going on can be very refreshing and provide some hope. My background in speech-language pathology has prepared me to work with clients who have difficulty expressing themselves. Expressive arts therapy is an alternative way to reach feelings and represent the experience you're having.

I am passionate about helping people to expand the story they write for themselves. We all carry with us a narrative of who we are and who we can become. Living with anxiety and depression, whether long standing or circumstantial, constrains our narrative: “This is who I am, this is who I will always be.” I see the process of therapy to be about connecting with your thoughts and emotions in a way that gives you control over how you respond to, and engage with, your world. I find it remarkable how small adjustments to these areas can have a profound impact on how you see yourself and those close to you. This is the beginning of a richer narrative.

Learning to bring mindful attention to our mental health and how we are impacted by our experiences hones our ability to tend to ourselves more deeply. By deepening our sense of self, we grow and strengthen our capacity to experience well-being in the world and in relationships. The capacity to help ourselves in our struggles often begins with naming and identifying our emotions, thoughts and root causes. From here, we can make choices to tend to ourselves with greater care, bringing the change and growth we need for healing. I am committed to bringing awareness and acknowledgement to the oppression that exists within racial, cultural, religious, gender, and sexual identities and experiences. I am dedicated to understanding how it exists in my client’s life and how it interacts with both of our beliefs and behaviour. I recognize that I as a white woman I benefit from white privilege, and am committed to addressing how systemic oppression might influence our relationship. I am committed to being informed about my client’s cultural context so that I am aware of how this impacts the nature of their experiences.  

Equine Therapy can help individuals and families build confidence, self -efficiency, communication, trust, social skills, impulse control and learn healthy boundary setting. Horses are great therapists because they give immediate feedback. Research shows positive physical and psychological results from humans interacting with horses. These include, but are not limited to , decreased blood pressure and heart rate, lower levels of stress, reduced feelings of tension, anxiety, anger and hostility, as well as increased levels of beta-endorphins, and beneficial feelings of self -esteem, empowerment, patience and trust. Often clients experiencing anxiety and ocd have difficulty relating to other human beings, and will not accept closeness with another, but they will with horses. There is a bond that develops over time with equine - assisted therapy that is profound and natural . This bond helps with affection, assertiveness, confidence , empathy,self-control, responsibility, unconditional acceptance. This type of therapy is experiential and provides opportunities for metaphorical learning. Using metaphors , either in activities or discussion, is an effective technique for working with individuals. Non-verbal communication with a Horse helps clients better understand themselves and how they relate with others in the world. Equine-assisted therapy is psychodrama, which allows action to help heal the past, clarify the situation in the present, and help you envision a brighter future.
