My Approach to Therapy

Therapy can be a powerful space for reflection, growth, and building the skills needed to navigate life’s challenges. Whether you're looking to better understand yourself, improve emotional regulation, or move through a period of transition, my role is to guide you through it.

You may be seeking therapy because you want to be a better partner, communicator, parent, leader — or simply to develop a more compassionate and authentic relationship with yourself.

My approach is collaborative and forward-focused, with an emphasis on helping you create meaningful and sustainable change. While our work may involve processing past experiences and emotions, the focus is often on helping you build insight, develop skills, and move toward your goals.

Areas I commonly support clients with include:

• Building resiliency and self-trust

• Getting “unstuck” and setting meaningful, values-aligned goals

• Exploring and strengthening emotional intelligence

• Managing stress and preventing or recovering from burnout

• Navigating difficult conversations and improving communication

• Working through relationship challenges

• Managing life transitions, such as career shifts, loss, or identity changes

• Exploring and addressing anxiety, emotional regulation, and phobias

I take an integrative approach and tailor each session to your unique needs and preferences. Some of the evidence-based modalities I draw from include:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – to support values-based action and psychological flexibility

• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) – to help clarify goals and move toward change

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – to examine and shift unhelpful thought patterns

• Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) – to build emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness

Above all, my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to make the changes that are most meaningful to you.
