Currently Accepting New Clients (In-person & Online)

In the midst of major life transitions, many are looking to better manage elevated levels of stress, anxiety, depression, grief, fear and loneliness. In my practice, I help clients to become 'directors' of their own experience and to understand how behaviours that were once part of creatively adjusting to past environments may be interfering with their ability to function fully in the present moment. I help clients deepen into calm and return to a sense of aliveness within.

As a Registered Psychotherapist, the strength of my practice is in helping people living with depression/anxiety, chronic stress, low self-esteem, trauma, grief and mourning, eating disorders, body image issues, career stress, relationship issues, family system and parenting issues and those who are generally feeling 'stuck' in life.

I often work with adult women, young professionals, professionals in healing arts/sciences, perfectionists and overachievers, artists/creative types, academics/intellectuals, people struggling with disordered eating, weight loss, body image issues, PTSD, chronic stress and worry, mothers and parents, people with perinatal mental health & fertility issues and the LGBTQ+ community.

I provide virtual and in-person counselling and psychotherapy services for individual adults in Peterborough, Ontario and across Canada.

I am dedicated to helping others develop deeper meaning in their lives and a greater sense of their whole being, and often use techniques from Gestalt therapy - an existential, experiential, phenomenological approach to human development.

I promote self-regulation, relational awareness, individuation and growth within the structured support of therapeutic interventions, set up by the therapist to increase response-ability, awareness of the here-and-now moment, self-agency, and conscious, healthy decision-making. Clients are provided with creative opportunities to try out new behaviours, expand their repertoire and learn therapeutic tools for healthy functioning. Therapeutic interventions are customized for the individual to help clients increase self-awareness, develop sensory and somatic awareness, interpersonal skills, tools for self-soothing, stress management, tending to wounded shadow parts, and to help clients re-integrate disowned parts of the self - aspects of the personality that have formerly been neglected, forgotten or repressed.

With clients I walk beside them on their journey towards self-awakening, therapeutic reintegration of these forgotten aspects of the self, letting go of what is no longer serving them, actualizing what they truly want in their lives, and realizing the whole of their being that is greater than the sum of its parts.
