My Style & Approach

My approach to therapy is both eclectic and integrative. Since people are complex and unique, I believe there's no single, 'best' way to help everyone, which is why I don't limit myself to one style of therapy. I draw from a broad range of training, modalities, methods, and interventions to create a personalized therapeutic experience.

We may use Narrative therapy to explore stories that keep you stuck, Internal Family Systems (IFS) to do parts work and understand your past and present patterns, or Emotionally Focused Therapy to delve into what is happening inside. I also use mindfulness-based practices as a foundation for building self-awareness and support in stress management. We will collaborate to select the most valuable tools for your specific concerns.

At the same time, my work is integrative and non-pathologizing, meaning I see you as a whole person—mind, body, and spirit—not just a collection of symptoms. I look for how your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, past experiences, and physical health all connect to form a complete picture of your current well-being. The goal is to thoughtfully combine different methods to address the root causes of your struggles, rather than just the surface-level problems. This results in active, deep therapeutic work that aims for lasting change and supports your growth as a whole person.

I will use curiosity and creative questioning to help you separate from your problems, break free from cycles of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-doubt, and move toward a sense of ease, self-trust, and acceptance. In a safe, non-judgmental space, I will encourage mindful self-reflection and emotional regulation while supporting you in re-authoring your life stories by focusing on your strengths, values, and future preferences.
