As founder of Moving To Change Psychotherapy and Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), I specialize in working with adults who have a Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS), a normal, neutral, innate trait in about 20-30% of the population. As an HSP - Highly Sensitive Person myself, my approach integrates over 35 years of personal and professional development, including:
» Relational Gestalt therapy (engaging in an experiential, embodied and present-centered approach with a focus on the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process)
» EFT Tapping / Emotional Freedom Techniques™ (releasing stressful emotions, unhealthy habits and patterns, fears and false beliefs, and restoring the energy flow in the body)
» Havening Techniques® (creating a safe haven for delinking encoded traumatic memories caused by stressful life experiences as well as building a more resilient brain landscape).
My work also draws from various contemplative practices as well as the latest developments in the fields of neuroscience, attachment theory and trauma resilience––pointing to the brain, the nervous system, and the body’s innate wisdom and ability to heal and change.
If you are interested in personal development or want support in addressing particular areas of concern, I offer individual therapy, group therapy, and workshops (all virtual at the moment) where you can:
» be heard, seen, witnessed, and receive feedback
» gain a deeper and fuller understanding of your experience as it unfolds
» learn to communicate more clearly and directly
» reframe past experiences in a more self-compassionate light
» address and reverse the imprint of past traumatic experiences
» access inner resources for regulating your nervous system, developing healthy boundaries and building a more resilient brain landscape
» explore new choices and perspectives and be better equipped to navigate through life's challenges and opportunities
If you are ready to explore personal issues in a safe, supportive and confidential environment, I welcome your email via my contact email form at: https://www.movingtochange.com/
I offer a 15-minute introductory phone consultation at no charge during which you can share what brings you to therapy, explore how my approach could be helpful to you in light of what your goals are, and begin to determine if working with me would be a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you.
