My Approach
My approach to counseling is personalized to each client's unique needs. During the initial session, I take the time to understand concerns and goals, and then work collaboratively to explore different ways of thinking and acting that could improve well-being.
I will utilize a variety of evidence-based therapies, with a focus on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address a wide range of issues. Additionally, I integrate elements of other effective therapies such as dialectical-behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT) to create a comprehensive and tailored treatment plan.

Frequently asked questions
Add a general description of the items listed below. You can introduce the list and include any relevant information you want to share. Double click to edit the text.
​What is counselling and how can it help me?
Counselling is a collaborative process where you work with a trained professional to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It can help you develop coping strategies, improve relationships, and achieve personal growth.
How often will we meet?
Sessions are usually held weekly or bi-weekly. This schedule can be adjusted based on your progress and preferences, in discussion with your counsellor
What should I expect in my first session?
The first session is typically an intake. You and your counsellor will discuss why you're seeking counselling, your history, and your goals. It's also a chance for you to see if the counsellor is a good fit for you.
Is everything I share confidential?
Confidentiality is a fundamental aspect of counselling. Your counsellor will explain the limits of confidentiality, which typically apply in situations where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or in cases of child abuse.
How long does counselling typically last?
The duration varies greatly based on your individual needs and goals. Some clients benefit from short-term counselling (a few sessions), while others prefer longer-term support.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule a session?
Please provide at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. This allows us to offer the time slot to another client.
