About
Through a collaborative, supportive, and non-judgemental approach, I strive to empower my clients to achieve their goals, overcome obstacles, and create new, healthier patterns in their lives.
Based on the diversity of presenting problems and desired outcomes from therapy each client brings, I draw from a variety of modalities to tailor treatment to each client. These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), person-centred therapy, mindfulness practices, Bowen Family Systems, and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), among others.
Areas of concern that I can support you in include, but are not limited to:
- Depression
