I provide individual psychotherapy as well as psychoeducational and psychological assessments to children (age 8+), adolescents, and adults under the supervision of Dr. Loretta Patterson, C.Psych. I practice from a humanistic perspective, which means I focus on understanding the whole person, not just the problem, and believe people have a natural ability to learn about themselves, grow as a person, and make positive changes in their everyday lives. This approach is based on empathy, respect, and collaboration, and emphasizes understanding a person’s beliefs, values, and lived experiences rather than trying to “fix” them.
I practice Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), which offers clients space to talk about what matters most to them, at their own pace. There is no pressure to follow a set plan or timeline. Sessions can be used for expression, reflection, or working through situations, with a strong focus on feeling heard, understood, and supported in ways clients deem helpful.
I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which helps clients become aware of their thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and physical symptoms, understand how these are connected, and supports the development of practical skills for managing challenges and working toward personal goals. CBT is a a well-researched approach that compliments PCT.
