An Elegant Mind

depths of your soul. I believe that true healing comes when emotions are processed rather than just coped with. I believe that each person that walks in my office needs to heard and understood as a human being rather than a diagnosis. I believe that when there is a safe, non-judgmental space to explore our thoughts, new perspectives and understandings of the self can be shaped. To facilitate processing, I use a neuroscience-informed, mindfulness-based, and somatic methodology approach called Accelerated-Experiential Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). It works wonderfully well in supporting individuals in gaining the body-awareness and insights they need to navigate the difficulties and uncertainties in the world.

I operate under the belief that traumas, big and small, is are often tied to many of our mental health presentations, including addiction, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and physical health problems. I work from a client-centred perspective, which means I consider the client to be in a collaborative working relationship with me. I’m an advocate of flattening hierarchy and being authentic with my clients. This is a space for us to co-create.
