Approach

Each client is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all ‘solution’. I take an integrative approach to treatment and practice in an inclusive, client-centered way that places an emphasis on client’s strengths and life experiences. I tend to work through an attachment-based lens with a relational and integrative approach that combines elements of therapeutic modalities such as humanistic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical- behavioral therapy with mindfulness and somatic based practices.

How can I help?

Anxiety

Interpersonal Difficulties

Depression

Do you feel like anxiety is running your life? Through compassionate listening and evidence-based therapies, I aim to help individuals break free from the grip of anxiety. Together, we'll unravel the roots of your anxiety, and empower you to regain control over your thoughts and emotions. We will develop personalized coping strategies to help restore your peace of mind.

Depression

Interpersonal Difficulties

Depression

Struggling with depression can feel like an endless, heavy fog, but there is hope. The therapeutic relationship can provide you with the oppourtunity to express the various complexities contributing to the current space you are in. Together, we'll explore the underlying causes of your depression, develop tailored strategies for healing, and work toward a brighter future.

Interpersonal Difficulties

Human relationships are complex. Our sessions would provide a chance to discuss difficulties within the relationships in your life. We would work together to identify possible contributing factors such as attachment injuries, underlying fears, and internal beliefs. We would aim for greater understanding of one's self, including wants and needs in relationships and developing healthy boundaries.

Stress Management

Self Esteem Building

Interpersonal Difficulties

Are you overwhelmed with stressors? We will focus on developing healthy coping strategies and techniques for managing stressors in your daily life. We will focus on prioritizing stressors within your control and developing acceptance for those not within your control. We will also focus on balance, relaxation, mindfulness, and self compassion.

Trauma Therapy

Self Esteem Building

Our trauma therapy sessions provide a safe and supportive environment to help you process and heal from traumatic experiences. I will sit with you as you face difficult memories, and hold space for you to feel sadness, anger, hurt, fear or whatever emotions feel true to your experience. Trauma therapy offers a lifeline to recovery, empowerment, and the possibility of a brighter tomorrow.

Self Esteem Building

Self-esteem is a fundamental pillar of emotional well-being, and it can significantly impact our relationships, personal fulfillment, and overall happiness. Together, we can explore insecurities and negative self-beliefs that are holding you back in life, with an aim to move forward towards confidence and self growth.

First Responders

Chronic illness and Chronic pain

First responders face extraordinary challenges daily, dealing with high-stress situations and often witnessing traumatic events. The emotional toll of this work can be immense. I aim to help first responders process their feelings and avoid burn out, while continuing to live productive and happy lives.

Chronic illness and Chronic pain

Living with chronic illness and chronic pain can be an exhausting and emotionally taxing journey, but you don't have to navigate it alone. Our time together would focus on managing the challenges that come with chronic health conditions with a hope to live the fullest life possible despite the cards you were dealt.

Life Transitions

Chronic illness and Chronic pain

Life Transitions

Our sessions will provide a consistent place of support through the rocky waters of various life transitions. Whether it's a career change, a major move, a new relationship, or the loss of a loved one, therapy provides a supportive space for self-discovery, coping with emotions, and adapting to new circumstances. I aim to empower individuals to embrace transitions as opportunities for personal growth.

LGBTQ2s+

Borderline Personality Disorder

Life Transitions

My services are designed to support you through the complexities of identity, relationships, and any challenges you may face. This includes gender identity, sexual orientation, coming out, and the impact of discrimination. I prioritize your well-being and mental health, ensuring that you can freely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a non-judgmental environment. I will walk beside you on your journey towards greater self-acceptance, resilience, and an authentic, fulfilling life.

Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) can present unique and challenging emotional hurdles, both for individuals diagnosed with BPD and their loved ones. As an integrative therapist, I typically begin with exploring any adverse childhood experiences and connecting the dots between past experiences and the present day. I would assist individuals in learning emotional regulation skills, build stable relationships, gain a sense of self identity, and decrease self harming behaviours.
