Psychotherapy technique is a healing process that transforms unhealthy communication, negative thoughts, and painful experiences into a healing and fulfilling life. I use psychotherapy techniques to help my clients overcome a range of mental health conditions, including stress, anxiety, depression, phobias, eating disorders, grief and loss, marital issues, PTSD, and Post-PTSD. I use evidence-based psychotherapy techniques, such as EFT, SFBT, CBT, and CDT.

In all of the work that I do with clients, there are some primary goals: Promote understanding and eliminate ambiguity. It is only through understanding that we can create comprehensive and meaningful change. I also focus quite heavily on exploring tools and treatment methods with my clients so that they can find their desired change. I incorporate elements of cognitive and behavioural interventions along with a myriad of psychological principles into my psychotherapeutic work.

Psychotherapy is a talk-based therapy in which folks can explore their concerns related to life challenges, stressors, mental health and well-being in a non-judgemental space. I believe that “individual” concerns go beyond the individual and are deeply connected to the way we interact with the world and others. As such, my approach to psychotherapy draws on systemic therapies that focus on broader sociocultural influences, intersections of identity and relational patterns. I value collaboration, authenticity and anti-oppressive practice in the therapeutic space. Contact me for a free consultation to determine if we would be a good fit.

I offer a safe space for clients to reach their full potential through a therapeutic relationship that is based on the clients goals. Clients will be able to discover new things about themselves and find new ways to confront any struggles that they may be facing. Through psychotherapy clients often find their strengths and new insights that lead them closer to a fulfilled life.

If you are new to this, welcome to the world Psychotherapy! It is a process of self-awareness geared to improve the relationship with yourself and others. Most physical and emotional symptoms we suffer from are a reflection of the stress and struggles we face. My approach includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness which are traditional approaches to treat most common issues. These can be integrated with Clinical Hypnotherapy, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and Biofeedback. Both, therapist and you should be comfortable with the approach utilized to maximize results. You may decide to follow the treatment in person, or online. Looking forward to working with you!

My approach involves drawing on various modalities (e.g., dialogic, narrative, solution-focused, emotion-focused) that fit the unique needs of clients. I hope to create an environment for clients where they feel a sense of safety to express their reflections, thoughts, and concerns. I take on a non-judgmental, non-expert stance and firmly believe that clients have everything that they need already within them- my role is to simply remind you of who you are or to help you discover who you would like to be through supportive, therapeutic conversations. If you are interested in learning more about my approach and to see if we would be a good fit, please contact me for a free consultation.

I primarily use Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to support individuals, couples and families to get the supportive relationships they need to be safe, secure and grow in life. EFT is designed to provide opportunities to express vulnerable emotions to loved ones so that one can be clearly understood and valued by the most important people in your life. Even in individual therapy, there are powerful techniques used to safely access unacknowledged (often painful) emotions in connection to oneself and others. EFT is based on our knowledge of the importance of close bonds with others and has over 20 years of research that verifies its success. Call me for a confidential consult.

Psychotherapy is a specialized form of therapy focused on deep, long-term change by exploring the root causes of emotional and psychological issues.
