I appreciate you taking the time to learn more about me as a therapist. For over 20 years, I’ve worked in clinical and leadership roles in mental health community and hospital settings. I have supported individuals from diverse backgrounds facing trauma, substance use, anxiety, depression, emotion regulation, and relationship challenges. I am encouraged by the resiliency and skills that people possess, and as a relational therapist I am committed to fostering connection, safety, and empowering each person’s inherent strengths and motivation toward growth.
I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches from formal training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples.
Finding the right therapeutic fit is both personal and essential. I welcome you to reach out for a free 20-minute consultation to explore how we might work together
