Do you struggle with your emotions? Do they feel overwhelming to the point where it seems like they are the ones deciding what you say and do? Are your thoughts and feelings so painful at times that you feel desperate to get some relief? Does it feel like you need more tools to better understand, experience, and manage your emotions so they don't get in the way of you living the kind of life you want to live? If so, I would love to support you in that quest!
I draw from a number of evidence based, behavioural treatments in my practice (CBT, DBT, and ACT). This means I take the very best of what science teaches us about how to manage our emotions and help you apply that to live a more meaningful, fulfilling life. I am also pleased to offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) as a powerful body-based treatment.
I would love to share my love of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy with you and come alongside you as you build your very own life worth living! Please reach out to learn more about how we can connect and get started.

During our initial sessions we will explore what is getting in the way of you living the kind of life you want to live. This includes looking for the payoffs of your behaviour - essentially the ways in which what you are doing now is meeting your needs. Then we will learn skills as better, more effective ways of meeting those needs in ways that do not make things worse for you in the long run.
