I offer a trauma-informed practice while looking through the lens of cognitive-behavioral, and narrative therapy as I partner with you using a person-centered, and non-judgmental approach to self-exploration.
Hello and welcome. Has something changed and life just doesn't seem as fulfilling or enjoyable as it once did? Maybe it never has and it's time to make a change. Is there something you have experienced that is having an impact on you that you want to explore and understand more deeply? Is there fear, guilt, shame, grief, or regret holding you back from doing what you want to do, showing up as your best self, or living your best life? Sometimes we feel worse before we feel better, and that seems to be part of the journey. You don't have to do it alone.

To support our work together I integrate Adlerian, Hypnosis, Somatic Experiencing and CBT techniques creating balance in therapy.
Do you feel like you are repeating the same behaviours over and over? Stuck in the same cycle: sad, anxious, overwhelmed and unable to enjoy life? Do you feel caught in unhealthy ways of managing, feeling hopeless to create change? You are not alone. Whether you are embarking on a journey of personal growth, or seeking solutions to current challenges, counselling can help you explore what may be keeping you stuck. I strive to help clients find their strengths and develop a healthy way to navigate through life's challenges.

My work is informed by several models; specifically, Emotion Focused Family Therapy, CBT, trauma-informed approaches, Internal Family Systems, Interpersonal Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, DBT and RO-DBT.
I deeply appreciate the journey toward health for people struggling with their mental health and the need for caregivers around them to support the process. I honor time with caregivers and enjoy this part of the process. When working with trauma and other mental health challenges I work at the pace of the client, to facilitate healing and growth using a variety of techniques and tools. Another part of my work that I truly enjoy is the supervision aspect with either new clinicians, or experienced clinicians desiring support, recovery from burnout, or rediscovering joy.

My therapy style is an eclectic approach by incorporating psychotherapeutic modalities - psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), dialectical (DBT), and narrative - with mindfullness, attachment based practices, body & mind connection and trauma therapy.
Counsellor-Bryan Kim. People often seek out therapy when they are facing pain and uncertainty — as well they should — but working with a therapist doesn’t need to be something that only happens in a moment of crisis or at the breaking point of a relationship. Therapy is also ideal during times of transition when you simply need some extra support and perspective. You owe it to yourself to take time for focus and reflection. Emotional intelligence and healthy coping skills have extraordinary value, and you should consider therapy to be an investment in your own personal wisdom. You are the expert on your life.

I incorporate a variety of therapeutic practices including but not limited to Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Collaborative Family Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
Too often I hear stories of people struggling in silence, battling inner thoughts and not knowing what to do with them. Shrouded in fear and shame, they do their best to navigate their daily lives hoping things will get better, but sometimes the struggle continues. Seeing a counsellor can help ease this burden. Whether it's about relationships, careers, family or personal challenges, talking to a trusted counsellor can be the start of offloading these troubling thoughts and allowing space for clarity, growth and direction.

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counsellors
How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?
Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophising or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
