Background
I am an integrative therapist. Having worked in social services for over a decade and in private practice, I am passionate about helping people step out of their comfort zones and achieve meaningful change. To assist with my clients’ specific needs, I mainly draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), as well as elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), parts work informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Dr. Janina Fisher’s Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST) model, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), mindfulness, and sensorimotor/body-based interventions.

Therapeutic approaches
These are my primary therapeutic approaches, backed by specialized training and extensive clinical experience.
Emotionally Focused Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a humanistic and experiential approach, rooted in adult attachment theory. Bringing awareness to, understanding, expressing, and processing emotions aims to help clients gain insight into their patterns and experiences – beyond coping with surface-level issues and symptoms – into the creation of new inner experiences and secure relationships with self and others.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a skills-driven approach, focused on helping people regulate their emotions more effectively. DBT skills that can be applied to regulate intense emotions, improve interpersonal effectiveness, and increase distress tolerance.
I also incorporate these evidence-based approaches when clinically appropriate:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Internal Family Systems
Brief Solution-oriented Therapy
Mindfulness-based Therapy
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy/body-centered Approach
