Description
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario.
After several years working as a teacher, parent, yoga instructor, and lifestyle coach, I earned my MA in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy and gained professional education and training as a therapist. I have a strong interest in the relationship between mental health and the process of change and draw on my experiences as a meditation practitioner to guide my clients using mindfulness-based approaches to a more resilient and content life.
I use a variety of therapeutic approaches to best meet client needs with a special interest and training in mindfulness-based therapies such as MBCT (Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy) and Meditation & Psychotherapy. Where appropriate, we may choose to explore self-compassion and body awareness as pathways to support your work through past trauma, feeling "overwhelmed" or unable to connect with joy in your life. My training in Somatic Experiencing therapy can frame our work if we choose to use a more body-centered approach. Whatever the approach, we work together to set your goals and develop a plan that suits your individual needs.
By applying my special interest in Spiritually-integrated Psychotherapy, I also assist individuals in “making meaning” of their lives and navigating significant life transitions. Together we refine your self-awareness and inner wisdom as key foundations for personal growth.
I support adult clients navigating a variety of issues including: mild to moderate depression & anxiety, relationship (including betrayal trauma/infidelity) & parenting challenges, workplace /return to work stress, health & chronic pain, self-esteem & self-acceptance, life transitions, life stress, as well as issues unique to aging women.
