My Approach

Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a clinically proven form of treatment that has been effective for a range of problmes including depression, anxiety disorders, addictions, marital problems, and other sever mental illnesses.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT is a clinically proven counselling approach that emphasizes action on the part of the client. The goal, in time, is to help the client confront and understand your thoughts and feelings; focussing on understanding them rather than simply trying to change them.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

SFBT is a short term, goal oriented approach to counselling that focuses on helping clients focus on building solutions to their problems by identifying their strengths and resources.

Personalized Care

Every client is unique. Although I primarily utilize CBT, ACT, and SFBT approaches I tailor every session to each client. This allows us to focus on your specific and unique needs and goals; leading to a more meaningful and authentic therapy experience.
