You'll learn to regulate emotions, explore identity, learn executive functioning skills, resolve guilt or shame, process family dynamics an experiences, enhance distress tolerance, learn effective communication, resolve intimacy challenges. I use cognitive, emotional, identity, relational/attachment, mindfulness and trauma focused approaches to explore and address relationship, cognitive/thought, behaviour, and mood patterns that cause, maintain, or exacerbate mental health disorders. I'm trained to assess, diagnose and treat anxiety, depressive, mood, grief, impulse control, executive functioning and substance use disorders.
I create a supportive environment to develop insight and accept your point of view with warmth. I give homework to rehearse skills, practice strategies/skills, and restructure destructive beliefs. I tailor sessions to address unique needs, symptoms, treatment goals and personality.
My engaging, accepting, warm, direct and engaging personality, insightful questioning, and reflective listening provide an environment conducive to introspective conversation, mutual listening and resolution.
