I commonly use a blend of practices from Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Positive Psychology, Internal Family Systems and/or Narrative Therapy.
As a therapist and a mom of two toddlers, I very honestly understand the challenges that can come along with not only parenting but the family planning and pregnancy stages too. I am honoured to be able to bring these perspectives to my mental health and psychotherapy practice. I enjoy working collaboratively with caregivers who are feeling stuck in their identity, overwhelmed with their new roles or simply curious to unpack parts of themselves as they move through life transitions. Whether this shows up as grief, trauma, anxiety or depression, please know that all parts of you are welcome in my space.

Navigating life and relationships can be difficult. Do you find yourself stuck in patterns of negative thoughts or behaviour? Do you find yourself relating to yourself, others, or the world in ways that are not really working for you? Do you find yourself struggling with letting go of the past, people or things, with things like addictions, loss of loved ones, and traumas? If you experiencing any of these things, or have a similar struggle, it is common to feel anxious, frustrated, depressed, overwhelmed, hopeless, isolated, and desperate for something to change. This can be very difficult to navigate out of on your own.

Children are introspective, they have valuable insight and ideas around their strengths, challenges and goals. Children can be collaborative partners in the counselling journey. Encouraging children to use their voice and insight empowers and inspires them for growth and change. I have worked with children aged 3-19 on various issues including abuse, neglect, trauma, family reunification, grief and loss, separation and divorce, self-harm, anxiety, depression, challenging behaviours, screen time, self esteem, self confidence and identity. Each child is unique and deserves a collaboratively established personalized counselling plan.

Do you often feel anxious without reason? Do you sometimes wish your mind could just stop thinking for awhile and let you enjoy inner peace? We often become victims of our own minds and emotions, struggling with the same inner and outer turmoil over and over and don’t know why. Anxiety, worry, self doubt, fear and incessant thinking aren’t caused by a single factor but a combination of things such as trauma, difficult life experiences, loss, troubled relationships and stress. Dealing with these issues, processing your feelings and learning strategies to quiet your mind will help you attain inner peace and emotional resilience

How does positive psychology therapy work?

Positive psychology therapy derives from the work of Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania. He and others developed the field of positive psychology building on humanistic theory. Positive psychology therapy is similar to acceptance and commitment therapy, and it essentially quiets emotional distress through positivity, contentment, and well-being. This therapy does not reduce the individual to symptoms and conditions.

When do I know if I need treatment using positive psychology?

If an individual is overwhelmed by emotional distress and general negativity, they may feel trapped. A positive psychology therapist can help them view their emotions and behaviours differently, and approach life with a better understanding of their positive strengths. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

What should I expect from positive psychology therapy?

The patient may be asked to explore their signature strengths. The therapist will also ask the individual to talk about their goals, which should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. Discussing negative experiences and symptoms is important, but so is the exploration of positive experiences. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more positive and fulfilling way. This therapy is proactive and may use forgiveness, gratitude, hope, and compassion to help reframe negativity.

Is positive psychology effective in therapy?

Positive psychology therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with eating disorders benefit from this type of intervention. This therapy encourages the person to reframe their distressed thoughts and move into healthier patterns of functioning. This therapy also aims to move an individual toward what works well in their life. Positive psychology therapy can elicit lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
