Are you feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? As a therapist specializing in DBT and integrative approaches, I help clients transform overwhelming emotions, unhelpful behaviours, and relationship challenges into opportunities for growth and authentic living.
Drawing from evidence-based methods (DBT, CBT, ACT, and EFT), I provide practical tools while honouring your unique journey. In our work together, you'll find a compassionate, judgment-free space where all experiences are welcome even the complicated ones.
I specialize in helping clients who are ready to explore new ways of living while acknowledging that their past coping strategies made sense for their journey. Together, we'll build the meaningful, balanced life you envision.

Treatment Approach
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Biopsychosocial Therapy Takes into account biological, psychological, and social factors in understanding mental health. It looks at the whole person, not just symptoms.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) A short-term approach focused on improving relationships and social support. It is often used for depression and grief.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
