Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Contemplative Psychotherapy Combines mindfulness and meditation practices with modern psychology. It encourages awareness and compassion as part of the healing process.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Experiential Therapy Involves hands-on activities to bring emotions into the present moment. It helps clients process feelings more deeply than through conversation alone.
- Feminist Therapy Addresses how gender roles, power, and social inequality affect mental health. It empowers clients to challenge limiting beliefs and systems.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- 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.
Approach Description: I specialize in mindfulness-based therapy, specifically ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). We will focus on exploring meaningful life values, identifying inner obstacles that get in the way of valued living, and learning how to address those inner obstacles through mindfulness training.

My specialty is using mindfulness training as a treatment modality, through psychotherapy (particularly ACT Therapy), mindfulness and meditation training, as well as through Yoga. Mindfulness training expands our capacity to experience difficult thoughts and feelings in such a way that they do not hijack us and get in the way of living a meaningful life. Increasing mindfulness skills also means being more present and aware in daily activities, which translates to living a more engaged, intentional, and intimate life with increased richness and vitality. Because my approach is focused on building mindfulness skills, treatment sessions tend to be more experiential than traditional talk therapy. The level of mindfulness practice in sessions will depend on each client. For those who are interested, yoga training can also be incorporated into sessions.
I offer a free 20 minute consultation before we get started, to make sure there is a good fit. For convenience, I am able to see clients at two different locations: Downtown (College/Spadina), and East End (Danforth/Broadview). I can also provide counselling services via video or phone.
