Therapeutic Approach

My first priority in treatment is to build a strong therapeutic rapport with my clients. This forms the foundation for all treatment/therapy that follows. I endeavour to be warm, accepting, and supportive; in session, it is my goal to create a safe space where you will feel comfortable exploring difficult life experiences, gaining insight into your internal processes (thoughts and feelings), connecting with your values, learning new skills, and working toward living a rich and meaningful life. 

My approach to treatment is integrative and draws from a number of evidence-based modalities including:

-Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
-Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
-Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
-Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
-Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
-Mindfulness-based 
-Trauma-informed 
-Client-centered
-Humanistic
-Attachment-based
-Family Systems Therapy (FST)
-Strength-based
