Since beginning my career in psychotherapy in 2012, I have gained diverse experience working within school boards and community mental health agencies, serving both as a Psychotherapist and Psychometrist. Alongside my practice, I also contribute to the academic field as an adjunct professor of counselling psychology.
My theoretical approach to therapy utilizes relational attachment, trauma and cognitive explanations to human emotional and behavioural suffering. Every client is different; therefore, I customize every approach and intervention to the needs of each unique individual. I employ an active directive approach, while providing unconditional positive regard to allow clients the space to do the work they have come to do.
My post-graduate academic work has focused mainly on Mindfulness based psychotherapy, Rational-Emotive Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.
