I help clients with complex histories deeply understand their own experiences and uncover their natural propensity to heal. Many people have internal conflicts stopping them from moving forward as if they are being pulled in multiple directions. Through intentional conversation, I help people resolve some of that tension so that they can change their behavior more easily. This often involves learning to identify and validate our needs, a skill not always learned growing up. Resolving some of these internal conflicts can lead to a happier more fulfilling life.
I work from a client-centered perspective and am adaptable in finding what fits. People need to feel comfortable with the counselor they are working with, as this significantly predicts treatment outcomes. I have extensive experience working with third-wave CBT approaches. I have training in Internal Family Systems therapy (Level 1) and use mindfulness and somatic practices in addition to talk therapy to help people resolve internal conflicts holding them back. I am receiving training in EMDR and will be integrating this into my practice.
Working with Couples
In therapy, I create a non-judgmental and healing space for clients to realize deep change. The therapeutic space can help couples take responsibility for unhelpful relationship dynamics and work towards healthier behaviours while experiencing more openness. This approach can help couples improve communication, de-escalate arguments and deepen intimacy. I am experienced working with issues of dependency and unhelpful compulsive behaviours, in addition to clinginess, distancing, and conflicting attachment styles. I work from the lens of Relational Life Therapy (level 1) and Internal Family Systems therapy.
