My Approach
I believe that therapy should be collaborative, practical, and empowering. My approach is trauma-informed, strength-based, and designed to meet you where you are. For those that prefer a more relaxed setting, I offer walk-and-talks in community meet-ups.
I integrate various evidence-based modalities, including:
​
-
Polyvagal Approach - A 'bottom-up' approach that focuses on nervous system regulation and emotion recognition
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – Helping you identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns
-
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) – Developing emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills
-
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – A powerful method for trauma processing
-
Narrative Therapy – Rewriting your personal story to foster resilience and self-compassion
-
Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) – Goal-oriented strategies to create meaningful change
-
Mindfulness-Based Approaches – Techniques to enhance emotional balance and present-moment awareness
-
Internal Family Systems (IFS) - Understand the different 'parts' of your mind and uncover your core self
-
Gottman Method, Couples Therapy – Better understand your relationship and find tools to enhance communication

Trauma can leave lasting imprints on our emotions, relationships, and sense of safety.

Modalities such as EMDR, DBT, and mindfulness techniques may be incorporated based on your needs.
