WHAT I OFFER

CBT is an evidence-based approach that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It’s especially effective for anxiety, OCD, eating struggles, panic, rumination, and mood-related concerns. Together, we identify unhelpful thinking patterns - like catastrophizing or all-or-nothing thinking - and work toward more balanced, supportive thoughts. The goal is to help you better understand your mind, reduce distress, and build practical skills to navigate everyday challenges with greater clarity and ease.

This approach is grounded in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a trauma therapy that recognizes how overwhelming experiences, worries, phobias etc. can become “stuck” in the nervous system. Rather than asking “What’s wrong with you?”, EMDR focuses on “What happened to you?” and how those experiences continue to shape thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationships today. Through a structured and collaborative process, EMDR supports the brain’s natural capacity to heal - helping clients reduce distress, build emotional regulation, and reprocess painful memories in a way that feels safe, paced, and empowering.

DBT is an evidence-based approach that helps individuals manage overwhelming emotions, reduce impulsive behaviours, and strengthen relationships. It combines acceptance and change, offering practical skills in mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT supports clients in feeling more grounded, in control, and connected in their day-to-day lives.

MI is a collaborative, goal-focused therapy that helps individuals explore and resolve ambivalence about change. Through guided self-exploration, clients identify their values, strengths, and goals, while addressing barriers to progress. MI creates a supportive, non-judgmental space that empowers clients to build intrinsic motivation and commit to meaningful, value-driven change.

SRP is a cognitive-behavioral approach designed to help individuals manage high-risk situations, cravings, and triggers associated with substance use or other problematic behaviours. Through structured sessions, clients learn coping skills, develop relapse prevention plans, and build self-efficacy. Often combined with motivational interviewing, SRP supports long-term change by providing practical tools to reduce relapse risk and enhance emotional resilience.

This therapy supports individuals coping with the emotional and psychological impact of significant loss, such as the death of a loved one or other life changes. This therapeutic approach helps clients process their grief by exploring their feelings, understanding common grief responses, and developing coping strategies to navigate the adjustment to a new reality. 

My work is informed by Imago Relationship Therapy, with a focus on supporting individuals in understanding their relational patterns, emotional triggers, and unmet needs. Rather than viewing relationship struggles as personal failures, this approach explores how early attachment experiences shape the ways we connect, protect ourselves, and seek closeness with others. Through reflection, skill-building, and compassionate curiosity, clients gain insight into recurring dynamics, strengthen communication and self-regulation, and develop healthier ways of relating - both within romantic relationships and beyond.
