Psychotherapy & Counselling

Welcome.

Welcome to the you who has arrived here. The you who is yearning– for healing, for wholeness, for integration, for well-being, for a deeply awakened and full-blooded life. And welcome also to the you who is still emerging–all that is still in shadow–the disowned, the frightened, the unloved, the silenced. May this be a sanctuary where you can enter into intimacy with all of who you are.

You are probably wondering how I work and what I do–what it would be like to do this work together.

My work is grounded in the approach of the Masters Center for Transformation, where I am a member of the core faculty. And that approach is…

Integral ~  integrates the psychological, somatic, emotional, and spiritual

Intuitive ~ No preset methodology. Structure and direction spontaneously arise in co-creative accord with our real needs

Emotion-Focused ~ works deeply and thoroughly with all our emotions, going to the heart of each, recognizing that emotion connects body and mind, past and present, intention and action, containment and expression, biology and biography

Relational ~ illuminates and deepens the connections between ourselves and others, and also between the various aspects of us

Intimate ~ rooted in intimacy, not only intimacy with others, but also intimacy with all that constitutes us, so that the personal, interpersonal, and transpersonal are all  honoured and worked with

This, all brought together with a commitment to wholeness, describes the kind of work that I do.

My practice is to invite you into an ever-deepening intimacy with all of who you are. I support you in learning to welcome whatever shows up with courage and compassion. Trauma, resistant patterns, pain, and grief are held and healed gently and efficiently. In any session we may use dreamwork, gestalt, bodywork, psychodrama, ego states/parts work, connected catharsis…whatever is most fitting and serves your healing.

I am a Registered Professional Counsellor, Psychotherapist, and trauma healing specialist. I have studied Integral Intuitive Psychotherapy and Advanced Bodywork with Robert Augustus Masters and Diane Bardwell Masters since 2008 and am currently a core faculty member and teacher-trainer with the Masters Center for Transformation. I also utilize Brainspotting (a neurophysiological tool for trauma healing), and various psycho-energetic techniques to maximize the efficiency of the work we do together.
