We can distance in our office therapy space. I am also happy to take precautions that we agree upon together (masking, video sessions, etc).
About
”I feel overwhelmed!" "I am grappling with events from my past." "I am worried about my use of a substance or behaviour." "I'm dealing with communication issues in my relationships." If any of these statements fit for you, I could be your support! I work with folks who are struggling with anxiety and trauma, low mood and difficulty with emotions, addictions, communication and boundaries in relationships, sleep problems, life transitions, grief and loss, and meaning making. Let's work together to understand and honour your inner experiences, so that you can build skills and grow towards your goals, dreams, and desires.
I balance person-centred and goal-oriented therapy. This means that you're the driver of your therapy, and I offer direction using your goals as our map! I incorporate CBT, DBT, mindfulness, strengths-based counselling, and motivational interviewing. I also teach grounding skills and take a “facing our fears” approach with exposure for anxiety and trauma.
Drawing on the philosophy of DBT, I believe we may need to seek balance: shifting between accepting where we are at, and moving toward our goals. How can we create balance for you?
