At our practice, we emphasize nurturing compassion and acceptance as we explore new choices and develop relational skills through relational psychotherapy.

My foundation is rooted in Gestalt therapy, enriched by experience with wellness coaching and participation in seminars, including most recently, a two-day intensive with Terry Real at the Leading Edge Seminar in Toronto in December 2024.

Incorporating love and kindness as essential behaviors, I believe that these qualities are foundational to our primary relationships and overall well-being. Recognizing the need for love, belonging, and acceptance is crucial to our mental health. Our work together will focus on emotional regulation and fostering awareness of how our nervous system influences our responses.

We strive to cultivate a healthy relationship with yourself, nurturing your inner voice to promote self-compassion. This process includes examining limiting beliefs and challenging thought patterns to enhance your connection with yourself and others, including your loved one(s).

I draw inspiration from practitioners such as Tara Brach, Peter Levine, Ellyn Bader, and Gabor Maté. While I have participated in various online seminars through reputable sources like NICABM, PESI, and Sounds True, it’s important to note that while my approach is informed by these insights I do not hold additional qualifications for this resourcing. When working with couples, my focus is on fostering acceptance and love through relational and experiential processes. I integrate Terry Real's methods to address confrontation, honesty, and mutual support, incorporating coaching techniques when appropriate, and always with your consent.

As a trauma-informed practitioner, I am aware of the impact of trauma on mental health and well-being. I approach our sessions with sensitivity and a commitment to ethical standards. I am skilled at identifying relationship dynamics and am here to help illuminate your unique situation.

Relationships matter—and so does your entire life.

Together, we can nurture the person you aspire to be while developing skills to address any self-sabotaging tendencies that may hinder your relationships. We will work to confront past traumas that influence your current relational dynamics, aiming to break patterns of intergenerational trauma and other challenges.

I encourage you to reach out today to discuss your situation and explore your therapeutic goals. Please remember, no matter what you are experiencing, you are not alone—whatever is happening for you is a human experience, we can have nothing else.
