My goal is to assist you to live well while managing mental health issues. I pull from a variety of therapeutic approaches including:
Client-Centered approach
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Solution Focused Therapy (SFT)
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Gottman perspective/lens
I will also integrate other therapeutic methods if it suits your needs, therapeutically.
In my years of practicing as a mental health professional one of the insights that I have gained is that you (the client) are often able to identify your barriers for change as well as the solutions. The difficult part is taking action, this is where I believe a support person (like me) can be of the greatest benefit. This can be facilitated by a strong therapeutic relationship based on openness and trust, which I hope to develop in our work together.
