Traditional therapy methods assume that everyone’s problems can be solved by participating in weekly 1-hour sessions using one-size-fits-all protocols. This approach focuses on treating disorders, rather than people, and the latest research does not support this approach. I want to understand YOU, as a person. Together we'll figure out the underlying reasons you are stuck, and we’ll create an individualized plan for long-term change. Are your emotions overwhelming? Maybe you feel numb? Do you repeatedly respond to situations in unhelpful ways? Whatever the reasons, we’ll work together to help you take back control of your life.
I help you where it matters most: in your everyday life. I offer a higher level of involvement and support than in traditional therapy. I deliver integrative psychotherapy personalized to your needs; offer between-session coaching; and collaborate with other disciplines to ensure wraparound care. We'll work as a team to help you build a meaningful life.
Sometimes people feel ashamed asking for help; it takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable in front of someone you don’t know. When you call/email, you will be contacting me directly. There is no middleman. You will receive a free 1-hour consult because 15 minutes is nowhere near enough time to judge whether you might feel comfortable with me.

Are your emotional storms intense? Do you have trouble grounding yourself? Maybe ‘typical’ coping strategies don’t work? If so, this group may be for you. We will be taking an integrative approach, drawing from dialectical behaviour therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, to help you get your life back on track. This is a skills-based group, meaning you will be learning new ways of handling difficult thoughts, emotions, and situations. This group is not intended to help you fix longstanding, complex issues in your life, but it will help you manage your distress more effectively right now.
