Therapeutic Approach
About my approach:
My approach to therapy is best described as genuine, connected, and effective. I believe you are the expert in your life and I am here to walk the path to wholeness along side you - offering support, insight, and structure. While I have extensive training in many evidence based therapeutic approaches that I use in session, the foundation of my therapy is rooted in connection. Healing happens in relationships. I bring my authentic self to sessions because I know our relationship, as therapist and client, is central to the healing process.
My goal is to create a safe and attuned environment for you to explore the more complex, frustrating, painful, and curious parts of yourself and your life. Together, we will create meaning and new understandings of your history, attachment, and the rich tapestry of experiences that make your life both unique and complex.
My approach might fit for you if...
You like a therapist who is warm, engaged, connected, and attuned. I use humour in session and allow for moments of joy along with creating space for the painful experiences to be explored. I balance flexibility and structure throughout the session to allow you to use the time as needed while ensuring that the work supports your long term goals.
My approach can be helpful if you are struggling with any of the following:
-
Connection, belonging and identity
-
Attachment injury and repair
-
Relationship challenges
-
Body image, confidence and self-esteem
-
Grief and loss
-
Self-critical lens
-
Self-exploration and personal development
-
Work/life balance
