Psychotherapy Approaches & Frameworks

I am a Registered Psychotherapist based in Ontario with over seven years of experience in the non-profit sector supporting individuals experiencing trauma, challenging family dynamics, and systemic stressors.

My work is grounded in narrative, client-centred, and emotion-focused approaches. Therapy is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, with your story, strengths, and goals at the centre.


I integrate evidence-based approaches, including:

- Narrative Focused
- Client-Centered Focused

- Attachment-Based
- Cognitive Behavioural (CBT)
- Dialectical Behaviour (DBT)

- Neuroplasticity Based
- Psychodynamic Informed
- Solution-Focused Brief (SFBT)
- Trauma-Focused
