In the supportive atmosphere of counseling and psychotherapy, we gain insights to ourselves that place us back on the path to contentment and well-being.  
 

Psychotherapy, specifically cognitive therapy, has been used successfully for decades to help people through life’s crises. When it is combined with complementary therapies such as stress reduction, therapeutic hypnosis, or training in mindfulness (being present in the moment), it becomes an even more powerful tool for positive change.

The techniques I pass on as part of the therapeutic process retrain the mind and body to a baseline state of calm confidence. A peaceful mind boosts the immune system and helps us approach crises and conflicts with strength and equanimity. Above all, the methods we work with are easily learned and can be applied to any future problem you encounter without the need for continuing professional support.

I have found that this multidisciplinary approach works to alleviate a broad range of problems including: anxiety, panic attacks and phobias, chronic pain and illness, fatigue/insomnia, depression and bereavement, addictive behaviours such as smoking and over-eating, poor self-esteem, lack of motivation, trauma following major life transitions, obsessive thoughts, and excessive anger, frustration, or worry.

As the weight of limiting beliefs and negative emotions falls away, physical and mental energy is restored.

I am here to provide a nonjudgmental setting in which we can look at your problems from a different perspective, and help you discover what approach works best for you.
