Frequently Asked Questions

Please see services.

I approach counselling and therapy from a strengths-based and client-centered perspective that integrates elements from a number of different modalities including  cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based therapy, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. This allows me to utilize the best combination of ideas and techniques that will work best for you. My approach will contextualize your individual situation, your strengths, your goals, and your needs. For more information, please read about My Approach.
