My Approach to Helping
Relationships fulfill and sustain us. Sometimes we are challenged to grow and change so that we may strengthen and deepen these relationships. At these moments we may feel afraid, confused or at a loss for what to do. Therapy is about asking for guidance as we begin to explore and accept change. I work with the belief that we all share a common emotional experience despite the differences in the way we choose to express ourselves. As every issue is unique, I offer my clients the opportunity to tell their story in their own way. By tailoring the therapy to each clients needs, I ensure that we are working toward the desired goal in a positive manner that is both useful and sufficiently challenging. My practice is collaborative and respectful, without judgment or bias toward gender, culture and sexual orientation. I integrate emotion and solution focused therapy with cognitive and experiential approaches to help individuals, couples and families explore the emotions and beliefs that influence behaviour. The objective is to gain greater self-understanding, resolve issues, and create healthier and more satisfying relationships.
Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist
"Fit" is highly important. You may experience this as an ease in communicating with the therapist, feeling as though you are in highly capable hands, feeling "safe", feeling heard and responded to appropriately. Use the first meeting to assess how you feel about the therapist and the session in general. If it does not feel right, try someone else. As a couple, both people have to feel comfortable and that the therapist can hear both points of view without bias. If you have a bad experience the first time, try another therapist.
