My approach to therapy emphasizes the importance of confronting our painful emotions and experiences from a place of safety, curiosity, and honesty. My hope is that by approaching therapy in this way, you will have the opportunity to develop your individual strengths and foster personal growth. Although therapy can be a terrifying prospect for many, my goal is to provide you with a safe haven where you can explore your struggles without fear of being judged or rejected. I rely on an integrative approach to therapy that combines elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness based approaches, and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT). I also have training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). I work with clients around a number of mental health issues including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, anger management, self-esteem and self-worth, stress management, marital distress, and communication concerns. I also provide skills training in the areas of distress tolerance, emotion regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. Ultimately, I believe that evidenced based practices used in concert with an environment that promotes safety, acceptance, collaboration, and support is crucial for therapeutic success. I work with individuals and couples as well as teens and youth. I also have a special interest in working with men. I believe that men are often under resourced when it comes to accessing, expressing, and understanding their emotions, often leading to painful, yet avoidable, experiences. As a former oilfield tradesman, I routinely witnessed firsthand the impact that emotional restriction and social conditioning has on many men. Lastly, I am also passionate about working with couples who are experiencing distress within their relationship and who are looking to strengthen the quality of their bond with each other. The pursuit of love is of the highest magnitude and something that I hold dearly. I will strive to facilitate a deeper level of connection and understanding between you and your partner and will work to help you to develop the necessary skills to find and maintain peace and love within your relationship. I welcome the chance to work with you.
