My approach
My style is warm and informal and I provide my clients with realistic tools that inspire growth and change. While my therapeutic approach is integrative, I am primarily influenced by attachment-based and trauma-focused therapies and neuroscience. My approach is also influenced by the mind-body connection and I incorporate mindfulness meditation into my work. But regardless of the modality used, I believe that all therapy should be rooted in a strong client-therapist relationship that is characterized by warmth, acceptance and trust.
I am committed to staying current on research and evidence-based treatments and I engage in ongoing psychotherapy training. I am committed to helping my clients feel better and I am honoured to witness the shifts that occur in their lives.
