How do I know if you are the right therapist for me?

You can sense when someone feels safe and comfortable. Sometimes we can make sense of that and sometimes we cannot however it’s always important to honour that instinct when engaging in therapy. Please reach out for a FREE 15 minute consult where you can ask me questions, have a conversation, and get a sense of how we can work together.

What services do you offer?

I provide a variety of services at this time to meet your needs

• Individual psychotherapy or counselling facilitates a process to better understand yourself and navigate your emotions, thoughts, feelings, experiences and relationships.

• Couples psychotherapy or counselling to support two people to have difficult conversations while getting unstuck from familiar patterns that come up while having those conversations.

• Workshops will provide you with new strategies, opportunities to connect with others in a new way and build your inner capacity to cope with life’s struggles.

• IFS therapy for therapists who are interested in applying the model to themselves to increase awareness of their own system as well as clients’ systems.

• Consultation/Practice Groups for therapists/practitioners wanting to deepen their knowledge and practice of working with the IFS model through case consultation, practice opportunities, and self reflection to get to know their own parts. 

What diagnoses can you treat?

For those who seeked help from a physician (GP or Psychiatrist) and are looking for treatment; here is a list of the diagnoses that I treat with psychotherapy:

• anxiety spectrum disorders

• mood disorders, including depression and bipolar II

• trauma disorders/reactions (including PTSD)

• personality disorders

• relationship conflict

• life transitions

• sense of internal conflict or “stuckness”

Do you help therapists explore their own IFS system?

As a Certified IFS Therapist and a Level 2 IFS Therapist, I support therapists who are learning the IFS model and would like to explore their own internal system. As we engage in this work, you will gain the benefits of receiving IFS therapy as well as learning the model in an experiential way. You may also reach out to me to see if we are a good fit.

What is your confidentiality policy?

I follow the PHIPA guidelines which is our Healthcare Act. Everything that we discuss, including the fact that you are in therapy, remains confidential between you and I. There are some limits to confidentiality. Both the confidentiality agreement and its limits will be shared with you when we begin together.
