I work with teens, individuals and couples as they navigate challenges of every day life, traumatic events and mental health challenges. Some individuals are very aware of where they are struggling, which helps us to align quickly and start working together. Whereas others might be new to counselling and really want a trained clinician to help them to understand and make sense of their world and experiences. I offer a client centered approach and will meet you where you are at. My approach centers on building strong, warm relationships with my clients, where both growth and humor can co-exist.
I use an eclectic client-centred approach which might include counselling informed by CBT, DBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD, the Gottman Method for Couples and trauma informed approaches. I am accountable to the growth my clients hope to see in seeking me out.
My practice invites real life folks to reach out and speak further, so we can learn more about one another and where you might be encountering difficulty. This gives you a chance to determine suitable fit. I love inviting people in to therapy or offering an alternative approach if you are still looking for that fit.
