I guide my clients toward an understanding and acceptance of (being with) their emotional experience so that they feel complete, free and more connected to others. Engaging in therapy with me involves lots of warmth and empathy, which allows my clients to freely express and understand their experience. I act as a mirror to help clients feel seen and to call out unhelpful behaviours. Present ways of relating become easier when we heal emotional wounds. I use empirically supported treatments that treat difficult emotions such as sadness, anger, and fear (Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy).
With couples, I use Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. This approach helps couples to bring emotional safety into their relationship by becoming aware of and soothing painful ways of relating. In general, couples build a better bond where they feel safe depending (effectively) on one another. Blockages to emotional vulnerability are processed and healed.
I see clients in the West Island, in Kirkland. I see clients virtually as well though I believe that in person therapy is richer (not discounting the benefits of virtual sessions, however). Therapy is hard, growing is hard. Please reach out to inquire more. Looking forward to partaking in your journey.
