What to Expect
Therapy can be both challenging and enlightening. My goal is to create a safe and comfortable space that will lend itself kindly to enhancing self-awareness and building on your strengths in order to reach your goals.
The human experience does not fit into a neatly packaged box and although my primary focus is emotion-focused work, I use an integrative approach, drawing from various evidence-based practices to ensure that your unique needs are being met. I provide a range of services, including emotion-focused therapy, family therapy, and individual therapy, offering tailored support to address and navigate the unique needs of each client and their relationships.
Emotion Focused Therapy
What is EFT and EFFT?
Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) is an approach that aims to support you in identifying, accept, express and regulate your emotions. Emotions are the drivers of our decision making and behaviours and having skills to accept and move through emotions in a healthy way supports overall health and wellness. EFT involves you working with your therapist to experience emotions in a different way that will allow for deeper connection with the self and others and increase skill in helping yourself through life’s challenges.
Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) is an evidence-based approach that believes that the best way to work with a loved one who has difficulty managing their emotions and overall mental health is to empower caregivers (primarily parents or spouses) to learn the skills to support them. The therapist works with parents (to children of all ages) and other caregivers to increase involvement in symptom interruption, support their loved one to identify, make sense of and process difficult emotions that may drive problematic patterns, increase healthy behaviours and identify and process their own blocks to providing support, if relevant. This process also supports relationship repair as needed.
Individual Therapy
Whether you are looking to process trauma, manage your emotions or work toward living by your value system, we will work together to develop and strengthen skills to achieve your goals.
Family Therapy
Drawing from attachment-based and emotion-focused family therapies, family therapy aims to improve communication, build trust and resolve conflict within the family system.
Supervision and Consultation
General supervision and consultation is available to clinicians and students. Keep in mind my training background is predominantly emotion focused, attachment and family therapy focused, trauma focused approaches and I am formally training in CBT, DBT, RO-DBT as well. I specialize in working with eating disorders, trauma and family therapies.
Let's Talk
The first step in therapy is talking. Let's find a time where we can meet and talk about what's on your mind.
