I believe that it is important to use a therapeutic modality that is appropriate for what you are dealing with; however, even more important in my opinion is that you feel truly heard. I most often practice therapy using such modalities as acceptance commitment therapy, emotionally focused therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, polyvagal informed, as well as trauma and grief informed approaches. I do use them within the larger framework of attachment theory, which explores how early life experiences may have contributed to your view of self, others, and the world. I believe that we do what we do for a reason, even if we no longer remember what that reason is or never truly became aware of it. Awareness of what our behaviour accomplishes gives us a chance to become more intentional about it.
I work with adults and can help with depression, anxiety, grief, moral injury, dealing with overwhelming emotions, understanding why emotions surprise you, establishing better boundaries in personal and professional relationships, personality adaptations (more often referred to as personality disorders) relationship issues, as well as overcoming the impact of attachment trauma.
I hold an Honours Bachelor’s degree in psychology from York University and a Master of Psychology degree in Clinical Psychology from Adler Graduate Professional School. I am a member of Ontario Psychological Association and am registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I work with clients both in person and online.
