Counselling, Psychotherapy & Neuropsychotherapy for Individuals
Neuropsychotherapy and Neuropsychoanalysis are talk-based forms of therapy based on the assumption that our brains and neural connections are plastic and thus, can be changed during the psychotherapeutic process. Often, past losses, wounds, and traumas are stored in our bodies and brains leading us to maintain difficult patterns of behaviour and thoughts and feelings that keep us stuck, leading to depression, anxiety and other forms of suffering.
Neuropsychotherapy integrates the physiological and psychological so that a fully holistic form of healing can occur. This process is done by experiencing feelings in real time while being mindful of the physiological reactions that may occur within the body. As clients put words to their emotional and physical feelings in a safe space, they bring unconscious automatic and uncontrolled thoughts, feelings, and behaviours into awareness. This results in more control over one’s thoughts and behaviours, a more highly developed sense of self-understanding and empathy, and enhanced emotional control or regulation.

Counselling, Psychotherapy, Affordable Counselling & Supervision
Are you stressed, exhausted, or like you are just going through the motions of your life? Has the pandemic played a role in driving you to re-evaluate your priorities? Anxiety, depression, or feelings of overwhelm may be at play and you may feel like you want a safe space to assess how you got to where you are today. I can create a safe virtual space to explore your emotions and lived experiences. Being trained in Contemporary Relational Psychoanalysis, Counselling, and Psychotherapy, I offer a framework for you to explore your emotional needs, attachment styles, and any struggles rooted in interpersonal connections. Relationships, whether they be with friends, work colleagues, family members, or romantic partners are complex and are so important. Understanding the ties that bind our past and present relationships can help relieve stress and distress in our personal and professional connections. I can assist you with the following areas in your life:
Relationships
Are you struggling in some of your relationships? We can explore your romantic partners, friendships, family connections, or workplace relationships with an eye toward boundary setting, strengthening intimacy and attachments, or working through relationship loss.

Stress & Coping
Are you feeling stressed, exhausted, burned out, and run down? Have you been exposed to trauma through your work as a front-line healthcare professional?

Family Issues
Early childhood trauma, also known as Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE), relating to childhood issues, abuse, neglect, or feelings of abandonment can leave us struggling in our current relationships. I can help you to work through some of these family-of-origin issues so your current life and relationships can be more peaceful, meaningful, and empowering.

Caregiving
I can also support you with family & caregiver stress. Are you supporting others and not taking care of yourself? Have you lost yourself? Are you a caregiver to someone with a disability, or are you living in the sandwich generation, caring for aging parents and your own children at the same time? I have professional and personal experience in these areas and can walk by your side to support you as you navigate these challenges.
