Context is important. Tell me about your home environment. Who is most significant in your life? What fills you up and what drains you? I use a systemic approach that seeks to understand both your past and present contexts. My training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps me to get to the heart of the issues in your most important relationships. I like to be relational and collaborative. Change happens when you feel safe in the therapy office to share the deep stuff that’s really on your mind and in your heart. I’m here to walk alongside you with warmth and without judgement because I am human too.
If we need to clear some old wounds, we can do that. My training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) allows me to efficiently and effectively treat traumatic experiences, whether single occurrences such as a sexual assault, or relational wounds or repeated trauma so that they no longer hold you back. I also integrate what I find most helpful from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness, structural therapy (hello, boundaries!), family of origin work, self-compassion work, and somatic therapy (what your body is telling you). Let’s work together to help you get back to yourself.
