My Clinical Approach to Counselling

I believe in using a trauma informed approach and using various modalities such as Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Gottman Method, and Family Systems. I am passionate about helping clients achieve their personal goals.  The specific approach and interventions I use depends on individual/couple's concerns, needs, and ways of learning. I use research based interventions and collaborate with clients to help them explore concerns from a deeper, more informed frame of reference so that new meanings and ways to tackle personal struggles can be made to support lasting change. As a professional, I continue my development through ongoing research and education so that I can offer a fresh new perspective to my clients.
