Therapeutic Approaches

As a clinical social worker, I provide counselling using a collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based approach.  Therapy is tailored to each individual, couple or family, recognizing that no single method fits everyone.  My work integrates the following therapeutic approaches:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem.

​

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Increase understanding while processing emotions to promote healing, emotional regulation, and stronger relationships.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

A goal-oriented, strength based approach that emphasizes existing strengths, resilience, and practical strategies to support positive change.

​

Trauma-informed Counselling

Grounded in safety, choice, and empowerment, this approach recognizes the impact of trauma and supports the development of effective coping skills to improve well-being and functioning.

​

Attachment-Based Therapy

Explores early and current relational experiences to better understand patterns in relationships, emotional needs, and connection.

​

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

Evidence-based approach that supports the development of effective coping skills to manage intense emotions and improve relationships.  DBT balances acceptance and change, increases a sense of feeling understood while working towards meaningful behavioral and emotional growth.

​

Narrative Therapy

Focuses on separating the self from problems while reshaping personal stories in ways that highlight strengths, values, and preferred ways of living.

​

Family Systems Therapy

Considers individuals within the context of family and relational systems, supporting healthier communication and connection.
