I assist clients that require therapy in the areas of anxiety, substance abuse (and/or other addictions), depression. My focus is on working with individual and couple's towards personal development and goal setting. Every client is unique, hence, requires a personal counselling approach that is catered entirely for them. As a therapist, i work with various approaches such as: CBT, ACT, humanistic approach and TRTP (trauma therapy) amongst many other(s).
My approach incorporates empathy, professionalism and mindfulness. I draw from both my individual life experiences and numerous therapeutic approaches. Each client requires a unique mental health care plan.
Due to such unprecedented times, many individuals may find themselves experiencing various financial, mental and/or physical struggles. These struggles alone, may be one of the many reason(s) that trigger a state of anxiety.
