Accepting NEW patients for phone & video sessions. Asking for support is a courageous first step in managing your mental health & wellness. It is easy to get stuck in unhelpful thought patterns that do not serve us, but we have more control over our thoughts & feelings than it may seem. I can help you take charge of this & your behaviours to live a more fulfilled & happy life. I will work collaboratively with you to set achievable goals that support empowerment, capacity building & resiliency. I believe in the importance of a strong therapeutic alliance where you feel safe to share so we can have authentic & real conversations.
I provide an active form of treatment to youth & adults utilizing CBT + other modalities that encourage you to learn healthier coping skills to use independently. Together I help you to explore your unhelpful thought patterns, offer new perspectives that are more balanced & helpful, while learning ways to better embrace life’s uncertainties.
I am committed to a strengths based, client centered approach that fosters growth & meaningful change. Together, we can work towards helping you better manage challenging emotions, increasing your sense of self-efficacy & confidence, while improving your self-esteem/mood/sleep, and reducing your overall stress/anxiety levels. I look forward to connecting!
