Smart Therapy® — Insight-driven depth therapy
Where insight meets heart
This therapy is for individuals who feel stuck in their inner world or in repeating relationship patterns, and want meaningful, lasting change — at a pace that supports real understanding and growth.
With over a decade of experience as a trauma, anxiety, and OCD therapist, I support adults experiencing emotional distress, intrusive thinking patterns, and repeating relationship dynamics. My approach blends emotional attunement with meaningful insight.
I also work with clients experiencing obsessive thinking patterns, intrusive thoughts, and forms of OCD such as relationship OCD and moral scrupulosity.
It would be a privilege to support you as you take the next step in healing.
Why do the same relationship patterns keep repeating?
Many clients seek therapy when they notice repeating relationship patterns in dating, friendships, family, or work dynamics.
Insight-driven depth therapy can help you understand the patterns shaping your relationships and begin responding differently when familiar dynamics arise.
Explore these specialty therapy options for relationship patterns:
• Relational Reset™ Therapy Intensive
A focused, structured process for identifying and shifting repeating relationship dynamics.
• Therapy for Modern Dating
Ongoing therapy for navigating ghosting, ambiguity, rejection, and attachment dynamics in modern dating.
For those ready to explore the deeper patterns shaping their lives

Additional Approaches
Depending on your needs and preference, sessions may also integrate Brainspotting or Clinical Hypnotherapy as supportive tools for nervous system regulation and deeper emotional processing.
What you're experiencing right now...
- The same pattern keeps happening over and over—in your relationships, in your behaviours, in your thoughts—and you don’t know why.
- You feel stuck—in your mood, your circumstances, your habits. You want to break out of it, but you don’t know how.
- You’re desperate to change how you respond to life’s difficulties.
- You’re tired of emotional distress; you know you need to improve your self-soothing abilities. But what’s the first step?
Maybe you've tried some self-care, read a few self-help books, made some resolutions…but all those efforts just aren’t cutting it. Maybe you’ve even tried therapy before, but challenging your thoughts didn’t do enough for you.
Your relationships, how you feel in your body, your mood and emotions, the way you relate to yourself—you want it all to be better. You want a shift to happen. You want to break free.
You’re ready to change this now...

FAQs About Therapy

- It includes modalities like Emotion-Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Schema Therapy, and Jungian Therapy.
- Depth therapy focuses on understanding the deeper emotional and relational patterns shaping your experiences, rather than only addressing surface symptoms.
- While insight and emotional exploration are central, practical tools from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) may also be integrated when they are helpful for managing anxiety, OCD, or other challenges.
- I specialize in treating trauma (including childhood trauma), anxiety, OCD, depression, and self-esteem issues.
- Many clients come with overlapping challenges that also show up in their relationships or dating patterns.

- Enneagram-informed therapy uses the Enneagram as a framework for understanding emotional patterns, motivations, and coping strategies.
- While the Enneagram is not a therapy method on its own, it can offer valuable insight into recurring relational patterns, anxiety responses, and self-critical thinking.
- In therapy, these insights may be integrated with depth-oriented approaches to support greater self-understanding and change.
