I believe a strong rapport is the bedrock of effective therapy, and thus have spent much of my career researching the ingredients of a positive therapeutic relationship and outcome, before putting what I’ve learned into practice. Since 2009, I have enjoyed working clinically with folks experiencing conflict in their relationships, and those struggling with either overwhelming emotions or with feeling disconnected from them. I am committed to trying to understand the deeper, contextual reasons behind a person’s suffering, defining the “what” of a problem before moving to the “how” in creating change.
Using a trauma-informed approach, I integrate aspects of attachment-based, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioural therapies to help clients increase their self-awareness and sense of agency toward positive change. I encourage an environment of compassionate inquiry into problems and a sense of direction and accountability toward feeling and being better.
With your collaboration, my mission is to help you understand yourself as intimately as possible. With greater self-awareness, you can create opportunities to respond more authentically rather than react defensively. Together, we will work toward assessing the most important goals toward your wellbeing. I look forward to connecting, and helping you thrive.
