My Approach to Therapy If you're feeling caught in a cycle of anxiety, weighed down by depression, or struggling to connect in your relationships, my first goal is to create a space where you can finally put that weight down. My approach is warm, direct, and built on a genuine partnership—I’m not here to be a distant expert, but a real ally walking alongside you. Our work together is tailored to your specific needs, blending practical support for immediate relief with a deeper exploration for lasting change. For Practical Skills & Immediate Relief: We’ll start with "here and now." Using tools from Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Gestalt Therapy, we’ll identify whatever we can notice, and shift the thought patterns and behaviours that keep you stuck. We’ll also draw on Mindfulness practices to help you ground yourself in the present moment when difficult emotions feel overwhelming. For Deeper Meaning & Lasting Change: We’ll also explore the "why." Using Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), we’ll clarify your core values—what truly matters to you—and commit to actions that align with that vision. With Narrative Therapy, we’ll explore your life's story, honouring your experiences while co-authoring new chapters filled with self-compassion and resilience. Ultimately, our goal is to create a space where all parts of you are welcome. It’s a space to not only manage symptoms but to explore your identity, understand your emotional world, and build a more meaningful and connected life.
