Accepting new clients for virtual therapy and in-person therapy (short wait)! Do you need support for addiction to substances (alcohol or drugs) or addiction to problematic behaviour (gambling or shopping)? Are you coping with past trauma, sexual assault, childhood abuse, or domestic violence? Do you want to improve your relationships, boundary-setting, or parenting? Are you hoping to better manage anxiety or regulate emotions? Have you received a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Autism, or ADHD? Are you exploring your gender identity or sexual orientation? If any of these apply to you, I may be a good fit!
Within a collaborative therapeutic alliance, I integrate cognitive behavioural models (ACT, TF-ACT, DBT) with humanistic approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT & EFiT). I offer structure & organization so that you keep moving forward; this may include "homework" (handouts & worksheets), measurements, customized treatment plans, & follow-up emails.
Congrats on taking this step on your therapy journey; I'd love to accompany you on it! If you feel we may be a good therapy match, please reach out. I'd be happy to provide a free virtual Meet & Greet consult to give you a sense of what working together might be like. Connect to therapy that is calm, mindful, client-centered, & trauma-informed.
