My approach
I have twenty years of therapeutic experience working with individuals, families, adolescents and couples. My style is warm and informal and I provide my clients with realistic tools that inspire growth and change. I believe that all therapy should be rooted in a client-therapist relationship that is characterized by warmth, acceptance and trust.
My approach is informed by the following modalities; Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – for the treatment of trauma, Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples and Individuals, Therapy and perinatal mental health.
I am highly influenced by attachment science and I obtain inspiration from the healing powers of connection and emotional security. I am committed to staying current on research and evidence-based treatments and I engage in ongoing psychotherapy training.
I believe that psychotherapy is an art that involves the “meeting of two minds”. I am committed to helping my clients feel better and I am honoured to witness the shifts that occur in their lives.
