All of us can be presented with hardship, pain and overwhelm - sometimes without warning. It is in these stressful moments that we may struggle to find the tools to cope. Confronted by life’s challenges, it can become difficult to see the path forward.
I draw from modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and somatic and attachment based theories. I incorporate respectful humour in my practice to help make those first initial steps in treatment slightly less uncomfortable and to level out the therapist to client dynamic.
Preserving our mental health is a complex endeavour. Whether you need support with identifying your needs and boundaries, self-exploration, learning and healing from trauma, or any other challenges you may be facing. It is my honour and responsibility to share that space with you in a way that is collaborative and trusting.
