Coping with change can leave you feeling overwhelmed or exhausted, impacting your ability to function effectively. I appreciate the strength it takes to be vulnerable, and my goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space to help you explore ways to manage the impact of life’s obstacles that are impacting your ability to move forward.

My approach is person-centered, integrating techniques drawn from mindfulness practices, cognitive-behavioural and solution-focused therapies that can help with regulating emotions and shifting the patterns that keep you stuck.

I strive to support self-reflection and raise personal awareness, helping people to navigate the inevitable challenges through transitions in life. I view taking time for therapy as giving yourself permission to reconnect with your strengths as you work toward confidence in living as your authentic self as you build skills for healthy boundaries in relationship challenges.

In my 20+ years working in health care, I’ve gained a compassionate understanding that building resiliency is not linear and through scars, strength can shine through.

To achieve life balance for myself, I enjoy spending time outdoors or on the family farm, finding peace being with animals of any kind.

Hello! I’m Bennett, a compassionate and client-centred psychotherapist practicum student committed to creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where my clients can feel heard, understood, and respected.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process that all starts with understanding the problem. My goal is to learn as much as I can about your unique circumstances and identity. Everyone’s experiences, strengths, and goals are unique. Together we can then learn and explore the challenges you are facing, to develop greater self-awareness and use that awareness to work towards understanding and creating meaningful and lasting change.

Whether you are experiencing stress, anxiety, life transitions, low self-esteem, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can provide an opportunity to pause, reflect, and gain new perspectives.

My goal is to meet you where you are, at your own pace, while providing compassionate guidance and practical tools to help you move forward.

I use tested therapy approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) or Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) among others that fit your goals for therapy and work the best for you.
