Counselling & Psychotherapy Services

I work with clients 13 and older to tailor an approach using a number of therapeutic modalities including but not limited to Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing,  Dialectical Behavioural Therapy informed practices, and Harm Reduction Strategies, particularly around navigating self-harming behaviours.

With the scope of my experience, I am prepared to work with clients and their families around a variety of issues including:

• Struggles with mood, anxiety and other mental health difficulties
• Parenting/parent-teen conflict
• Difficulties with emotional regulation (struggles with effectively managing emotions & emotional experiences; struggles with less than optimal coping strategies such as various types of self-harming behaviours)
• Support for family members of individuals who struggle with emotional regulation
• Matters related to sexuality and sexual identity, including coming out and grappling with the effects of homophobia, biphobia, and heteronormativity
• Gender identity, including support around transitioning, coming out as transgender, gender queer, nonbinary, and grappling with the effects of transphobia and rigid gender norms
• Understanding the impact of various forms of oppression (sexism, racism, ageism, saneism, transphobia, homophobia, biphobia, religious biases etc.) and finding healing and empowerment through resistance.
