I draw from evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, somatic practices, and parts work to support both insight and lasting change.
You're managing ADHD, anxiety or depression while the world expects you to keep performing. You're drowning in responsibilities, racing thoughts, and a nervous system that won't settle.

You're ready to build resilience, regulate your emotions, and rediscover the truest version of yourself.

I use an integrative approach, incorporating CBT, CFT, EFT, DBT Skills, and parts work
Do you find yourself ‘doom scrolling’ or engaging in other distractions, hoping they'll help you feel better—or just pushing through the day on autopilot? The demands of work, school, relationships, family, society, and even our own expectations, can take a toll in many ways. Unfelt emotions and racing thoughts can build up beneath the surface, showing up as stress, anxiety, exhaustion, or disconnection. While distractions may offer temporary relief, over time, you could remain stuck in unhelpful patterns. You don’t have to stay stuck or go through this alone.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Counsellors
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behaviour and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behaviour, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioural change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behaviour; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
