Therapeutic Approach

My experience enables me to offer effective outpatient, individualized, mental health support for individuals, couples and families. I provide supports around relationship issues, as well as coping with mood disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, grief & loss, managing life transitions, trauma, and addictions.

Focus

My focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. Achieving this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan.

Therapeutic Modalities

I am trained in the following modalities: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT); Solution Focused Therapy; Narrative Therapy; Mindfulness; Emotion Focused Therapy; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT); and Trauma Therapy. I am empathetic and passionate about accompanying my clients on their journey to mental wellness.

Online Services

Online sessions are held from the safety of your own home at a time that is convenient for you through our easy scheduling platform.

Depression & Anxiety

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, I am able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.

Couples and Marriage Counselling

Counseling for intimate partners; involving the exploration of any conflicts between the partners. Goals of couples counseling are to improve communication and interactions and to strengthen relationships.

Trauma & PTSD

Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. I can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing.

Mindfulness Based Therapy

Mindfulness is the conscious awareness of our present moment. It allows us to focus on increasing our awareness of the thoughts, feelings, and actions we engage in on a daily basis. Mindfulness based therapy provides you with the tools and practices to cultivate a sense of inner peace throughout your daily life.

Addiction

In addiction the body craves a substance or a behaviour, connected to a compulsive or obsessive pursuit of a “reward”. The consequences are destructive to oneself and loved ones. Therapy will focus on empowering you or your loved one gain control over engaging with addiction.
