Pamela S

I was drawn into psychotherapy because I feel mental and emotional health are just as important as physical. Everyone makes mistakes or goes through tough times, and assisting someone in their healing journey is one of the most beautiful gifts one human can give to another.

I approach therapy with an extensive professional background in both the arts and wellness. My expertise in dance, fitness and nutrition spanned over two decades, inspiring people of all ages in an array of sectors from schools, places of business and my private practise.

Holding a Bachelor of Fine Arts, I am also a Holistic Nutritionist, and certified fitness trainer as well as a busy mom. Transitioning into psychotherapy felt like a natural addition to my expanding wellness umbrella.

My holistic and compassionate approach brings integrates a wealth of knowledge and life experience. I endeavour to provide a therapeutic environment that is positive, supportive and client-centered.

I appreciate the importance of the mind-body connection to overall well-being. Placing focus on the mind-body connection to release emotional stress that may manifest physically, is something I am truly passionate about and informs my somatic-informed approach.

Outside of work, I love to do something fun with my kids and dog in nature or catch up with my friends over a good latte.

Outside of practicing psychotherapy, I love yoga, swimming, cycling and spending time outdoors.

Approaches:  Integrative approach including somatically-oriented therapy, psychodynamic, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and person-centered.
