About Therapy
What You Can Expect
Making the decision to seek out and ask for support can feel scary and overwhelming. Knowing what to expect when you enter your first counselling session can help to reduce some of the uncertainty and anxiety associated with starting a therapeutic journey. In my office, virtual or otherwise, you will feel seen, heard and cared for. By focusing on your unique strengths and values, we will collaborate in designing a plan that will equip you with the necessary skills and strategies to grow and experience sustainable change.
Using a combination of cognitive, behavioural, compassion, mindfulness, and trauma-focused therapies, I support clients in moving their lives in a meaningful and fulfilling direction.
I am so looking forward to working with you and helping you to develop a plan to live your very best life!

My Treatment Approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
An evidence-based form of cognitive behavioural therapy that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies, combined with commitment and behavioural change strategies, to increase psychological flexibility.
Self-Compassion Therapy
Directing compassion inward which helps to buffer against the pain of managing difficult life experiences that are beyond our control as well as feelings of personal inadequacy, failures and mistakes
Mindfulness
In addition to improving mood, regular mindfulness meditation practice has been found to improve interpersonal interactions by reducing reactivity and increasing response flexibility.
EMDR
An integrative, evidence-based psychotherapy approach that has extensive research and proven efficacy for the treatment of trauma. EMDR therapy is one of few trauma treatment methods that has been endorsed by the World Health Organization, the American Psychiatric Association, and other international institutions. To date, EMDR therapy has helped many thousands of individuals from various demographics to find relief from many types of psychological stress and trauma.
