In-person near Sydenham, Ontario (north of Kingston), and by secure video across Ontario+. My approach is evidence-based and blends depth and pragmatism. Individual Therapy for Adults
You might feel stuck between the desire for engagement or growth and the difficulty of navigating life’s complexities, stress, demanding roles, anxiety, low mood, or impacts of past trauma. You may have tended to be someone who is thoughtful, curious, and dedicated to your relationships, your work, or to engaging with life with commitment; yet, that well of care and commitment may not extend as easily to yourself. With over 20 years of clinical experience, I provide therapy to adults facing these kinds of challenges, including extensive work with veterans and military members. How I Help
Through our work, I help you explore your experiences, gain greater self-understanding, develop skills, and work toward your goals. My approach is evidence-based and grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I strive to offer a compassionate presence and an approach that blends depth and pragmatism. How We Work
Our work begins with learning about your needs and goals, understanding your experiences, and using that information to inform therapy. We work within the frame of cognitive behavioural therapy at whatever pace feels right for you. Sessions are available:
-By video for those located across Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.
-In-person in a private, quiet setting north of Kingston, Ontario, near Sydenham (South Frontenac Township). Practical Details and Educational Background
