I help clients using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), a skill-based approach in which I am certified. Praticing skills to change your thinking and behaviour leads to success in addressing issues in the same way that practicing skills leads to success in a career, academics, sports, music and many other endeavours. I track progress using clients' reports of their well-being and monitor the quality of my relationship with clients by soliciting written feedback.

As a registered psychologist I've found that the most effective way to initiate and foster the therapeutic alliance and change process is to establish with a client right from the outset that their therapeutic “hero’s journey” is going to be one that relies on the rapport we establish/sustain (BOND), the relationship we build/maintain (GOALS) and the resources we engage/employ (METHODS). Such a co-creative therapeutic process will take time and practice; it will be ill-defined and uncertain; and, at times, it may feel vulnerable, but by courageously and whole-heartedly engaging in the work of counselling together the changes you seek will eventually become you.

As a Psychologist I can help an individual explore and experiment with change in their lives in ways that will ultimately help them find deeper meaning and contentment; feel more happy and fulfilled. I can help you uncover and discover ways of being and acting in the world that are more positive and productive or even change patterns that are destructive. We can work together to build on your unique strengths and resiliencies; create more of what truly makes you special and unique.
