Therapy
I see therapy as a way to become more fully yourself. It can help you build practical skills for current challenges and understand how longstanding patterns developed.
Support for emotional, behavioural, and health-related concerns
People seek therapy for many reasons. I work with concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, insomnia and other sleep difficulties, as well as the psychological effects of chronic health conditions.
Mood & anxiety
Depression, anxiety, trauma-related concerns, or times when thoughts and emotions feel difficult to manage.
Sleep, addiction & change
Insomnia and other sleep difficulties, addiction or substance-use concerns, sustained stress, and major life transitions.
Chronic health & daily life
The psychological effects of diabetes, gastrointestinal concerns, chronic pain, persistent symptoms, and other ongoing health conditions.
Therapy where physical and psychological health meet
Living with a chronic health condition can affect mood, relationships, identity, work, sleep, and daily functioning. It can also bring difficult questions about treatment, uncertainty, and how to live well alongside symptoms.
My background in health psychology informs therapy with people living with diabetes, gastrointestinal concerns, chronic pain, persistent symptoms, and other ongoing conditions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
I primarily use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based form of talk therapy. ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, pay attention to the present, clarify their values, and choose practical next steps.
The work is practical and reflective. We may focus on skills for a current problem while also making sense of the experiences and patterns that contributed to it.
Deciding whether we are a good fit
Feeling safe and understood by your therapist matters. During an initial consultation, we can discuss what brings you in, answer your questions, and decide whether my approach is a good fit.
Your concerns
We begin with what is bringing you to therapy and what you would like to change.
The process
I explain confidentiality, the proposed format of the work, and relevant practice policies.
Suitability
We consider whether my approach, format, and availability are a suitable fit for what you need.
Format and availability
Appointments may be offered in person or virtually, depending on suitability and availability.
Practical information
Current fee, payment, and cancellation information is provided before an appointment is confirmed.
A receipt can be provided for psychological services. Clients are responsible for confirming any reimbursement available through their own benefit plan or other payer.
