I believe we all have the right to feel good about ourselves, our relationships, and our everyday lives. It can take some work to get there though, so I am here to help!
 
Some of the things my clients and I work on are:
- depression and anxiety
- attachment relationships 
- feelings of alienation
- supporting young people and their families around questions and self-knowledge around gender identity 
- major life changes (e.g. separation, loss, trauma, addiction, or a change in social status)
- work stress
- infidelity  
- emotional regulation 
- interpersonal effectiveness (in work, personal, and other settings)
- emotional cut-off 
- coping with a loved one's addiction to drugs or alcohol 
 
The populations I work with are:
- teens and young adults
- adults
- children
- families
 
I have always worked with people from a diverse range of backgrounds and identities, and strive to create a safe place for individuals from the LGBTQ2S+ community and all cultural backgrounds.

Some of the therapy methods I use include:
 
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which we can use to change negative thought patterns such as ‘racing thoughts’ and negative self-talk
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which we might use to set goals around living life according to your values
- Narrative Therapy for processing trauma and other difficult experiences, as well as for creating other, more manageable narratives of what you might be going through.
- Art-based therapies (for children and young people in particular)
- Dialectical Behavioural Therapy for Adolescents (certification in DBT-A), which is aimed at managing big emotions and impulsive thoughts, including those around self-harm.
My work with you begins with the knowledge that you are the expert of your own life. My goal is to work alongside you to develop a ‘way of seeing’, and a plan, that brings you hope. I am prompt in responding to emails, so please email me if you would like to schedule an appointment, or call the Cadence office at (306) 291-0900.
