Verified
I practice from a trauma-informed perspective and have trained in
DBT
, CBT, Mindfulness–Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), EFT, IPT and ACT.
I approach the therapeutic process with the understanding that most of us have experienced some form of struggle or loss. Some of us carry past trauma and anxieties that can get in the way of achieving our goals, and living a rich, meaningful life. Sometimes even if we have the answers and “tools”, we can find it hard to implement long-term change and make difficult decisions. Family and friends may not fully understand what we're going through. We may fear judgment, or worry that our "stuff" would be a burden to others.

Whether it's relationship issues, family conflict or individual difficulties, sometimes we need to slow things down and breathe with hope of finding some sense of freedom and growth.

CBT &
DBT
therapy is very effective, as is Emotion-Focused Mindfulness therapy.
I WORK WITH PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE THE BEST THEY CAN BE. Life can often get in our way, and things can catch up with us and we suddenly realize this is not the life we want for ourselves. Painful, emotional feelings from our past can affect our self-esteem, all our relationships, esp intimate ones, and conflict occurs. Relationships are at our core, and understanding ourselves oft through the lens of difficult relationships help us learn how to be more compassionate, nurture self-love, be better communicators, and to create more trust and belief in oneself. I am often referred to as the "Happiness Locator" & Self Esteem Coach.

When individuals experience life stressors or challenges, it can be very exhausting and their lives may seem to unravel.

I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy,

Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy to eliminate the obstacles that limit your growth potential.
When your past lives on, you aren’t being fair to your future! You may feel like you are reliving the same old story and stuck in a repetitive pattern of negative thoughts, behaviour, and emotions with no way out. As a therapist, I walk with you to revisit these old stories and guide you to change this pattern. We will have an open conversation where you bring the knowledge of your life and I bring the knowledge of how a change can happen. My experience as a therapist has taught me that people need to be understood in an open, nonjudgmental, supportive and nurturing environment. Part of my job is to provide this environment.

Dialectical (DBT) Counsellors
Dialectical behaviour Therapy (DBT) is the treatment most closely associated with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Counsellors practice DBT in both individual and group sessions. The therapy combines elements of CBT to help with regulating emotion through distress tolerance and mindfulness. The goal of Dialectical behaviour Therapy is to alleviate the intense emotional pain associated with BPD. Its core assumption is that change and acceptance are intertwined. We typically think of our efforts to change things as emerging out of non-acceptance. We either decide to accept things as they are or we seek to change: through DBT it's not a case of change or acceptance, but resolving the conflicts to allow for self-acceptance and constructive change.
