My psychotherapy approach is very individualized and considers each client as unique. I aim to cultivate a non-judgemental and respectful collaborative relationship. I emphasize client strengths and goal setting to ensure the therapy is useful and approaching whatever goals clients are aiming for. Benefits of this psychotherapy approach include experiencing a sense of lightness in daily living, feeling equipped to cope with life's challenges, feeling confident and empowered, and having an overall sense of wellness.

Psychotherapy is a specialized form of therapy focused on deep, long-term change by exploring the root causes of emotional and psychological issues. Unlike general therapy, which may address immediate concerns or offer practical advice, psychotherapy delves into the complexities of your past experiences and patterns. My approach aims to foster profound personal growth and lasting healing by understanding and transforming the underlying factors affecting your well-being. As a dedicated psychotherapist, I offer a transformative approach to explore and address the root causes of your challenges. Please schedule a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit.

The associates at New Leaf Psychology Centre represent a broad range of experiences and expertise. Psychotherapy is offered for clients across the lifespan. Treatment approaches taken are evidence based yet personalized to you. Psychotherapy can be helpful for self-exploration (e.g. identity, anger, procrastination, career options), coping with life stressors (e.g. work, family, children, school, separation, grief), reducing worries, and improving mood.

Many people come to psychotherapy believing they simply need to "fix" their symptoms, but lasting change often comes from understanding the patterns beneath them. My approach to psychotherapy is both compassionate and active. Rather than offering advice or simply listening, I work collaboratively with clients to explore the experiences, beliefs, and relationship patterns that influence how they think, feel, and respond to life's challenges. Therapy is tailored to your individual goals, drawing from evidence-based approaches to help you develop greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and practical skills that continue to benefit you long after therapy has ended.

I embrace a strengths-based philosophy, guided by consistent positive regard for clients and families. Within that context, I utilize an array of clinical practices to best serve clients and families within individual and group formats. These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Harm Reduction, Psycho-education, Mindfulness, and Recovery.  My approach is collaborative, compassionate and interactive. And as a Accredited Music Therapist, I am always ready to incorporate music into the psychotherapy process. I provide a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space to help my clients achieve optimal mental health.

Most people consider psychotherapy because they are in crisis and seek an intervention that will improve their lives. The issue may involve work or the recognition of recurring, destructive themes that prevent them from living out their dreams. I use a framework called Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, originating from Diana Fosha. It uses a model of attachment to establish a clear, supportive relationship that helps people feel safe enough to explore deeper issues and to know that they are not alone. I aim to help them reach inside themselves to deal with painful feelings, make way for the resilience and wisdom that reside in each of us and find the transformation we seek.

People come to counselling not because they don't have answers to their problems, people usually know what they should do, but they can't seem to do them. My role as your pschotherapist is less about telling you what to do (which is actually the easier part), I am here to help you clear away some of the junks that stop you from seeing and "doing" the answers. After that, I will help you reach your goal step by step.

I take a positive based approach in my counselling. I believe that lasting change happens when you draw out the truths within yourself and your relationships. I do not treat people as problems, as people are people and problems are problems. I do not like lables; I believe people are a lot more than what they may be currently struggling with. I seek to understand the full context of a person, rather than just focusing on a specific issue. I am a Registered Psychotherapist.
