I offer a tailored approach to therapy, integrating CBT, solution-focused, mindfulness, and narrative approaches, along with Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT):
CBT is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps you explore how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. In sessions, we work together to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical tools to cope with challenges. CBT can be especially effective for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, and is adaptable for both teens and adults.
Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT):
SFT is a short-term, goal-oriented approach that emphasizes solutions rather than problems. In sessions, we focus on what’s working, explore your strengths, and identify small, achievable steps toward your goals. This approach draws from existing resources and helps you envision the changes you want to make. Solution-Focused Therapy can be especially effective for clients seeking clarity, motivation, or support through life transitions, and is well-suited for both teens and adults.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy:
Mindfulness can be integrated into sessions to help clients build awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations in the present moment, without judgment. Mindfulness-based practices can reduce anxiety, improve focus, and support emotional regulation. For both teens and adults, this approach can be especially helpful in managing stress, overwhelm, and self-critical thinking.
Narrative/Talk Therapy
Everyone has a story, and sometimes, just having the space to talk it through can bring clarity and healing. In our sessions, we’ll explore the experiences, beliefs, and patterns that have shaped how you see yourself and the world around you. By reflecting on these stories together, we can begin to uncover new perspectives, shift unhelpful narratives, and support your growth toward a more authentic and empowered version of yourself.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART):
ART is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps the brain process distressing memories and experiences in a different way. Using guided imagery and eye movements, sessions focus on reducing the emotional impact of difficult experiences without needing to go into every detail. ART can be helpful with anxiety, trauma, grief, and other distressing life experiences.
The number of sessions varies depending on your goals and concerns. Some clients benefit from short-term support, while others prefer ongoing therapy.
