My Approach

My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and psychodynamic therapy. I also draw inspiration Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment theory.

I work with you to identify the underlying issues that contribute to your specific concern and develop a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your unique needs.

 

I believe that therapy is a process of self-discovery and a way to figure out why you do what you do – for the purpose of long lasting change. Although I’m knowledgeable about change, growth and healing, I hold an assumption that you are the expert in your life. What this means to you is that whether I am working with you in longer term therapy, or brief consulting on a particular issue, my approach will always include openness, integrity, compassion and collaboration. I am committed to developing an understanding of your circumstance as you experience it, without holding any preconceived notions. I will also encourage you to steer the direction of therapy.

I believe that my role is to support you in finding ways to overcome obstacles, heal wounds, cultivate new possibilities and re-connect you with your own expertise and inner wisdom. With this in mind, we will work together to develop treatment goals, how often to attend and when it’s time to complete our work together.
