Individual Counselling
- The path to your authentic self
There are times in which we feel lost, down, angry, and stressed. During our time together, I will meet you at the delta between your past and future to listen to your story.
I will sit with you and help you to process your emotions and thoughts, endure hardship and grow your perspective.
Every session will provide a space for you to gain clarity, find healing, and draw closer to your authentic self to discover the direction you want your life to take.
Couples counselling
Most couples inevitably experience times of conflict, disconnection, and discouragement. However, for those committed to seeing their relationship as a path to growth, joy and meaning, this is often where to begin to work together to better understand each other, the underlying reasons for their suffering and heal and restore their emotional connection.
I am trained in Gottman Therapy and I also incorporate skills from Emotionally Focused Therapy and Internal Family System therapy (IFS) in order to support couples to strengthen their relationships in three primary areas: friendship, conflict management, and creation of shared meaning.
Family Counselling
Family is where our story starts. It is also where we tend to find support, unconditional love, and advice.
We cannot be fully understood and known in isolation but rather in relationship to those we love. However, a difficult period or a major transition can disrupt family cohesion.
Together, we will explore family dynamics, conflicts between parents and children, and other communication issues to restore mutual understanding and allowing personal growth within the family.
Youth Counselling
Our teenage years can be an adventurous and enjoyable journey into adulthood but they can also be among the most difficult periods of our life.
At times, family and friends are not enough to navigate complex emotions, doubts and concerns related to self-esteem, identity, sexuality, and relationships.
I provide safe and beneficial support for youth who want to learn new coping skills to better address those challenges and flourish at home, school/work, and within their relationships and communities.
Clinical Supervision
My overarching approach to clinical supervision is to empower and inspire psychotherapists in discovering their unique identity and style as professionals called to help their clients in navigate the complexity of the human existence.
In order to do so, I approach supervision from a Developmental, Person of the Therapist, and Integrative framework to build your confidence and competence both clinically and professionally in this field.
I enjoy working with therapists who are motivated to growth, deep introspection and reflection of their self-as-therapist identity.
I encourage my supervisees to become aware of what shows up and impact the therapeutic process and relationship with their clients such as transference, countertransference, SEUS, self-disclosure, and intersectionality.
Our work will be a collaborative process in which we will engage in case consultations, review video/tape recordings, conceptualize cases through therapeutic theories that resonate with you, explore how to conduct proper assessments and treatment plans, work on developing your own unique approach to therapy led by specific modalities of your choice, and implements psychotherapy skills/interventions/techniques to support meaningful change.
I meet the following criteria set out by the CRPO:
- I am a member in good standing of a regulatory college whose registrants may practise psychotherapy.
