Who we Serve
We offer comprehensive psychological help and services to men, professionals and individuals working in highly stressful careers.
Values
The values that I believe are most important in the therapeutic relationship are honesty, collaboration, trust and openness. I strive to ensure that each an every person I work with feels deeply understood and recognized for the unique individual that they are. It is very important to me that you feel safe and accepted while you are so courageously pursuing the best version of yourself in therapy!
Special Areas for me
A specific area that is near to my heart is working with men and professionals suffering from high amounts of stress as a result of their professional, familial and relationship responsibilities. I really enjoy working with professionals on reducing their stress and anxiety and decreasing the influence of their depression and hopelessness through meaningful collaboration and teaching of specific skills that will support your on-going ability to overpower your stress, anxiety and depression!
My Therapeutic Approach is grounded in a few different types of therapy. Primarily, I utilize Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. It is also noteworthy that my approach is a direct and I blend my approach to include coaching because it serves my clients needs effectively and promotes an action oriented approach that my clients tend to appreciate. I customize my approach based on your strengths, values and goals while relying on the most Evidence-Based approaches to ensure that a holistic treatment plan is developed to best meet your needs.
