Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
What is your general style or philosophy of therapy
I integrate various experiential modalities depending on what’s needed in the therapy room. I often try to understand clients’ family background and attachment history to explore roots of the the challenges you face today. I work with clients collaboratively to understand what’s keeping you stuck, and create a path to feeling better.
Do you use any specific therapeutic modalities or techniques?
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Family Systems Therapy
Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy (with consent and at client’s request)
Narrative Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
What should clients know about working with you?
That there’s no such thing as a bad question! I’m generally a very open therapist, and I’m happy to explore from where you’re at.
Why did you choose this profession?
My work in the healthcare field led me to notice humans’ core need for connection, which can sometimes go missing in the busyness of the day-to-day. I learned that I enjoy sitting with people in the highs and lows of their lives. I want to create a space for people where they can slow down and be themselves without fear of judgement.
What do you find most meaningful about the work you do?
I love facilitating a space that allows clients to feel safe, seen and heard. It’s so wonderful to see clients come to understand their purpose and see their intrinsic value.
