Clinical Focus
Trauma & PTSD
Trauma and PTSD have devastating effects on mental well-being which include feelings of shame, guilt, despair, and powerlessness. I offer therapy services to help you heal from the emotional and psychological distress that can result from traumatic experiences through the use of evidence-based therapeutic modalities.
Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety and depression are two of the most common mental-health challenges experienced by individuals. They impact quality of life, school/work, and your relationships, and can make it hard to manage day-to-day tasks and responsibilities. Therapy can help you to understand yourself and to start to regain control, power, and autonomy over the symptoms that have been controlling you.
Interpersonal Relationships
As humans we are social beings. Having healthy relationships and emotional connections with peers, coworkers, family, and romantic partners is an important component of our mental well-being. Therapy can help you to build interpersonal skills, have healthy attachments, and rebuild connection with others.
My Approach
With compassion, curiosity, and humour, I work collaboratively with clients to explore a variety of issues and concerns. I assist clients in building safety, coping skills, and resilience, navigating difficult situations and emotions, getting reconnected to the Self and others, healing, and finding purpose and value in a world of constant change and uncertainty. I always feel extremely privileged to get to know my clients and walk with them on this journey.
My main approach to psychotherapy is integrative, client-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I pull from several evidence-based therapeutic modalities, adapting to client needs and am truly eclectic. My main modalities include: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Compassion-focused Therapy (CFT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT).
