Licensed Counselling Therapist (C), Woodstock, NB

“Self is the seat of your authenticity, and Self-leadership enables you to be the person you are meant to be, so the life you are meant to lead can blossom.”

About Me:

As a trauma-informed therapist, I believe in your ability to heal from negative childhood experiences, traumatic life events, and challenging mental health issues like anxiety and depression or any addiction, be it food, drugs, alcohol, gambling or other vices that are negatively impacting your life. I believe in your ability to survive grief and loneliness and to thrive following major life transitions. Whatever your particular challenge, I believe in you and the ability of your authentic Self to heal your wounded parts and to provide whole and confident leadership in order to live your best life.

I typically use Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy as a primary modality complemented with various breathing, movement and meditation practices that encourage mind/body connection and provide critical awareness of our thoughts, our emotions and our body sensations.

Why Clients Work with Me:

In IFS therapy, the relationship with the therapist is less important than the relationship between the client’s Self and their parts. As I help clients establish these relationships and develop confidence in their own self-leadership, I seek to unblend from my own parts and bring Self-energy to each session, which allows me to be present with each client and their system. I also have great faith in the healing power of the Self-part relationship. Clients have told me that they experience an energetic presence of calm, a feeling of connection and that they find it reassuring. I invite you to reach out today and to begin the inward journey toward Self and Self-leadership, the seat of inspired action leading to a greater sense of joy and contentment.

Things I like to do in my spare time:

Mostly I hike. I do a little biking. I work out and I spend time with family and friends.
