I help clients to gain a better understanding of themselves, their emotional responses, patterns, and behaviours. With which, change can be made. I encourage clients to develop and practice new skills for tolerating the inevitably painful and uncontrollable parts of life, regulating their emotions, and improving their relationships.

 

I have specific training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)*, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Art Therapy. These approaches align with my personal belief that no one is perfect, we're doing the best with what we have and we can learn to do better. I am also person-centred and trauma-informed, meaning that I am sensitive to the many ways in which trauma can show up in session and I am careful to ensure that we move at a pace that is comfortable and safe for you. Whatever your needs, we will work collaboratively to find an approach that works best for you! 

​

*Please note that while my approach is DBT-informed, it is not a replacement for comprehensive DBT therapy with group skills training. If you've been advised by another professional to seek DBT therapy, please contact me to set up a consultation and see whether my services are the right fit for your needs.
