How I work

I provide individual counselling for adults. My approach is integrative, strengths-based and collaborative. I tailor approaches to suit each client’s unique needs. Theoretical orientations such as Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Psychotherapy, Attachment Theory, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Adlerian Therapy, Multicultural Therapy and additional emergent research in neuroscience all inform my practice.

As a trauma-informed therapist with a holistic lens, I consider a person’s mind, body, spirit, and emotions in the healing process. Somatic psychotherapy is a holistic therapeutic approach that considers the body to be a healing resource, thus, mind-body practices complement traditional talk therapy. An anti-oppressive approach acknowledges that humans are impacted by larger social, environmental, and cultural factors and works towards mitigating their affects.

Above all, I respect that you are the expert of your own life. It is important that you find our work together useful. I will check in with you to see how the process is going so we can course correct as needed.
