My Approach to Helping
I am a Registered Psychotherapist with experience supporting individuals with issues related to anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma, perfectionism, life transitions as well as postpartum depression and anxiety.
I integrate parts of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-based therapy and Compassion-focused therapy dependant on client needs. My work often involves exploring early attachment relationships and working through potential unmet needs or ruptures in attachment. I also utilize more "hands on" tools to help clients manage symptoms of depression and anxiety. I have specialized training in supporting those in postpartum (from conception to 2 years after birth). My aim is for clients to build more personal insight and understanding of themselves while also learning how to deal with difficult thoughts and feelings.
With this in mind, I work from a client-centred approach such that the client leads each session, while I provide reflection, feedback, and space for processing and safe exploration.
