Areas of Expertise
Counseling Services
I provide compassionate therapy that is tailored to your unique situation and needs. I am skilled and trained to help you navigate through life's challenges with a focus on your mental and emotional well-being. I view you as the 'expert on you' and will work with you to create a treatment plan that we can agree upon towards your success.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
My methodology is based in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which is a form of talk therapy that helps you identify and change negative thought patterns. CBT states that our "thoughts lead to our actions" so addressing irrational, inappropriate, negative and/or unhealthy thoughts is crucial to changing the way you ultimately behave. CBT has been proven to be effective in treating a range of issues including anxiety, depression and most things we tend to view as "adulting."
Psychotherapy
My Approach
I believe in a client-centered approach to therapy with a Reality Therapy delivery style. I like the descriptive term of 'eclectic' to explain my overall style because it is a mixture and it depends on what is needed by the client and what they are most responsive to in therapeutic interventions. I am fully committed to providing a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings. I firmly believe in being culturally sound, sensitive and affirming in the help I provide.
