Therapeutic Approach
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your needs. I draw from evidence-based therapies while also considering your lived experience, environment, relationships, health, capacity, and daily life.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT can help you better understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, body sensations, and behaviours. Together, we can explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck and build practical coping strategies.
Solutions-Focused Therapy
This approach focuses on your strengths, resources, and what is already working. It can help identify small, realistic steps toward change without ignoring the challenges you are facing.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT focuses on making space for difficult thoughts and emotions while reconnecting with your values. This approach can support you in moving toward what matters, even when life feels uncertain or challenging.
​Strengths-Based Approach
Therapy is not only about what is wrong. A strengths-based approach recognizes your resilience, abilities, values, and existing supports while helping you build from them.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Skills
DBT skills can support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and communication. These tools can be especially helpful when emotions feel intense or overwhelming.
Person-in-Environment Perspective
Your mental health is shaped by more than individual thoughts or symptoms. I consider the broader context of your life, including relationships, health, work, access to resources, disability, caregiving, and systemic barriers.
