What to expect?
In our work together, you can expect a compassionate and personalized approach tailored to your unique needs and experiences. I employ anti-oppressive practices to ensure a safe and respectful space where you are valued and heard. By focusing on your strengths and empowering you throughout our journey, I aim to build a therapeutic alliance that supports your growth and well-being.
Addressing trauma and dysregulated nervous systems is central to my practice. Through evidence-based techniques and a deep understanding of attachment theory, we will work together to heal past wounds and strengthen your relationships. My goal is to guide you towards greater emotional balance and fulfillment, helping you navigate life’s challenges with resilience and confidence.
My Approaches
My therapeutic approach integrates a variety of evidence-based modalities tailored to each client’s unique needs. I specialize in attachment & inner child work to heal early wounds, cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) for reshaping thought patterns, and somatic experiencing & polyvagal theory to address trauma stored in the body. I also offer dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation, mindfulness to cultivate present-moment awareness, and internal family systems (parts work) to harmonize inner conflicts. Additionally, I utilize emotion focused therapy to deepen emotional connections and cognitive processing therapy to help process and overcome trauma.
