The sessions are structured so that clients learn skills which help them move forward at a pace which is relevant to their needs, desired goals and objectives. "Learning to manage our lives is one of the most important skills we will ever learn. My experience is that most of us have not been given the necessary tools to manage our life and that we are not prepared or lack skills to do so. This results in poor communication, difficult relationships and not creating the life that you desire. The good news is that it's never too late." Using various talking therapies, reflective work, skill building, breathe therapy, Bach Flower Remedies, meditation techniques for being in the here and now, the clients have an opportunity to gain a better understanding of their choices, behaviours, and self-talk which no long work, and to learn skills and strategies to make the necessary changes to achieve the outcomes and the life they desire.

My work involves dealing with issues such as depression and anxiety; relationships (intimacy, interpersonal, workplace); divorce; self-esteem; performance and achievement; trauma; grief and loss; aging; conflicts and challenges with children; and many other issues.

In addiction, I have extensive experience with twelve-step programs; addiction and dependency recovery; and emotional, eating, and sexual disorders.

While bringing a fresh, empathic, and creative attitude to helping individuals define and reach their goals, I carefully adjust my approach to meet their particular needs.

EXPRESSIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY
Expressive Psychotherapy is an exciting and unique approach to helping individuals which combines the transformative power of the arts with psychodynamic verbal therapy.
Why use the arts in therapy? Often times, words just scratch the surface in therapy, leaving us wondering what deeper feelings, images, memories or patterns may be motivating our behavior, thoughts or feelings. The power of the arts in therapy lie in their ability to express and reveal these often more authentic levels of the self that go to the heart or core of an issue if allowed expression.

MUSIC PSYCHOTHERAPY

Music Psychotherapy focuses on music as the primary expressive tool in conjunction with psychodynamic verbal therapy. Because words can take us only so far, music is utilized in a way similar to dream work, to reveal aspects of the self that otherwise would remain hidden, or to clarify issues or feelings that may be confusing. It can open up areas of the self not previously accessible, and move the process of therapy forward through creative expression that can be profoundly moving emotionally. Music can also bring fun and joy into the process of therapy! No prior experience with music is necessary to benefit from this approach, which can include music listening, improvisation on a wide variety of instruments, imaging to music, singing, sounding, toning and song-writing.

SOUND THERAPY

Sound Therapy is an approach that focuses on the use of toning, sounding and singing as a form of energy work to release physical and emotional blocks or trauma, to enhance energy and the immune system, to address imbalances in the body, to enhance one's spirituality and capacity to experience peace, joy and other positive emotions of well-being.
