My Approach

I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy; working with you to identify your goals and develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your unique needs.

My approach is grounded in empathy, validation, and respect for your experiences. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your feelings and work towards healing. My ultimate goal is to empower you to make positive changes in your life.

I support clients with managing:

Anxiety

Anxiety is a normal human emotion, but it can become a problem if you experience too much anxiety or feel like your anxiety is interfering with your life. Whether you experience anxiety in relationships, in social situations, or surrounding certain topics, we can work together to alleviate & understand your anxiety.

Our therapy sessions will include understanding the root causes and triggers of your anxiety, as well as exploring underlying emotions and past experiences that contribute to your anxiety. Throughout our time together, you will learn new coping mechanisms, come to accept your thoughts and emotions without judgment, improve your self-awareness, and gain the tools you need to manage your anxiety and live a fulfilling life.

Attention and Focus

Attentional challenges can not ony affect productivity, but have profound impact on our sense of self. When you struggle with attention and focus, it can feel like your mind is constantly buzzing with distractions. This can make it difficult to concentrate on tasks, whether you’re at work, studying, or even just trying to enjoy a hobby. You might find yourself easily sidetracked, jumping from one thought or activity to another without completing what you started. This can lead to frustration, stress, and a feeling of being overwhelmed.

Through building executive functioning and planning skills you will learn how to set realistic goals, create effective routines, and build skills that enhance your productivity and overall well-being. In your time in therapy we will focus on unlocking your full potential and finding ways to succeed.

Self-Esteem

Therapy can be a powerful tool in improving self-esteem by providing a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your negative beliefs about yourself and challenge them. We will work to identify the root causes of your low self-esteem, such as past traumas or negative experiences, and find ways to change these negative beliefs and heal your wounded sense of self.

Through therapy, you will learn to cultivate a more positive and realistic view of yourself, develop healthier coping strategies, and ultimately feel more empowered to navigate the challenges of daily life with greater self-confidence and resilience.

Relationship Challenges

Exploring relationship issues in therapy involves examining the roles, behaviors, and patterns that you bring to your relationships. These factors can often be traced back to past traumas or deeply ingrained beliefs that shape your interactions with others. By identifying and understanding these underlying factors, you will be able to unpack and address the root causes of your relationship struggles.

In our time together, you may learn new communication skills, establish healthier boundaries, and develop a greater sense of self-awareness. By exploring past traumas and how they have affected your beliefs about relationships and yourself, you will gain new insights into your own behaviors and patterns. As you work to heal those wounds, you can cultivate deeper, more fulfilling connections with those around you.

Life Transitions

Exploring life transitions in therapy can be an effective way of understanding and coping with the challenges that arise during periods of change. Changes in life can bring up anxiety and stress, which can be alleviated through therapy. Therapy provides a safe space to discuss values and beliefs, which may have been shaken up during the transition. This includes questions surrounding one's sense of identity, purpose, and place in the world.

Through introspection and exploration, our sessions will provide a space for discovery as you explore new meaning and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. As you process their thoughts and emotions during times of change, you may discover new ways to cope with stressors that arise, redefine your values, and find new ways to engage with your beliefs. Your time in therapy can provide you with the tools you need to navigate life's many transitions with clarity and confidence.

My Approach

Specializations

I specialise in providing trauma informed care, understanding that each person experiences trauma differently. My aim is to create an individualised treatment plan that is tailored to your needs and goals.

Trauma Informed Care - (EMDR)

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy approach that helps people process and heal from difficult or traumatic memories. Using guided eye movements or other forms of side-to-side stimulation, it helps the brain reprocess these memories so they feel less overwhelming and no longer trigger the same distress.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Cognitive behavioural therapy is also offered as part of your treatment options. This approach focuses on identifying and changing negative patterns of thinking and behaviour that are contributing to your current struggles.

Polyvagal Therapy

Polyvagal Therapy is an approach that focuses on how the nervous system responds to safety and stress. It helps clients recognize when their body has shifted into a stress or shutdown state, and teaches practical tools to feel calmer and more grounded in daily life.

Internal Family Systems Therapy

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapy approach based on the idea that we all have different "parts" within us, each with its own feelings, thoughts, and role in protecting us. IFS helps clients understand and build a healthier relationship with these parts, so they can heal old wounds and feel more balanced and whole.

Psychological and Psycho-Educational Evaluations

In addition to therapeutic support, diagnostic and psycho-educational evaluations are also offered.

If your child is struggling academically or you are concerned about them meeting their developmental expectations, a Psych-Educational Evaluation may be helpful. Click here to learn more about the assessment process!

Adult diagnostic assessments are also available; with the aim of providing clarity on Fitness to Return to Duty, Legal Matters, or other Vocational or Occupational needs.
