My Approach

My goal is for you to feel safe, comfortable, and supported when you work with me. I want to help you gain insights into yourself, solve problems, consider new perspectives, develop coping skills, and become empowered on your path to wellness. 

 

I use a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach to therapy. My therapeutic approaches vary depending on client goals and needs, but may include evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Therapy.

 

Trauma can change our bodies on a cellular level. It rewires our nervous system for threat rather than for safety and connection. In addition to more traditional talk-based therapies, I have completed a 200-hour trauma-informed yoga psychology program, along with training in embodiment practices, that focuses on incorporating the body into healing practices. I am currently in the midst of training as a student in the somatic experiencing method created by Dr. Peter Levine. 

​

Length and frequency of service may vary depending on your goals and wishes for therapy. We can discuss treatment planning during your first session. 

​

When we work together, your experience is of the utmost importance to me. I encourage and welcome feedback from my clients as feedback is what helps me grow as a clinician. Your time is valuable and your healing is my primary concern, so I want to be sure that I am offering services and supports that feel meaningful to you.
