My therapeutic approach is based on:

If you have symptoms of depression or anxiety, CBT is a great place to start. I use tools from CBT to identify unwanted automatic thoughts or unhelpful behavioural patterns to challenge.

If you feel stuck and keep finding yourself in the same patterns we can use ACT to help get you unstuck. ACT is all about reducing reducing the negative impact of unwanted thoughts and feelings and moving towards a more meaningful life.

If you have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), we can use ERP to help you break the paralyzing cycles of intrusive thoughts and time consuming actions. With this method, we gently and consistently practice a new way of responding to obsessions that frees you to live a fuller life.

If you have trouble regulating emotion, find yourself repetitively in chaotic relationships or are struggling with self harm DBT has some great tools to help. With these tools we can help you regulate emotions, be more present in the moment, tolerate distress better and be more effective in building healthy relationships.

If you are having trouble sleeping CBT-I can help. I will help you identify patterns that are contributing to bad sleep and develop ways of thinking and behaving that are scientifically shown to improve sleep.

If you have experienced trauma and it keeps impacting your daily life now, we can use tools from CPT. These tools can reduce the intrusion of a painful past into your present day life. I often use CPT with people who are experiencing symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

If you know the change that you ‘should’ make but can not seem to make any progress MI can offer some tools to start moving forward. This is often helpful when people get stuck in addictive patterns. With these tools we work to move from hopelessness to identify clear steps you can take towards a better life.

So much of who you are is shaped by the stories that get repeated in your mind. Using NT, I will help you find new ways to tell old stories so that you can address current problems better.

You may come to therapy with a very clear idea of what your problem is. Using BSFT, I will help you plan for manageable steps toward change based on the strengths you already have.
