I am also passionate about couples therapy with a focus on healthy communication and conflict management, rebuilding love, connection & Appreciation.
My approach is integrative pulling from the most evidence based strategies tailored to presenting symptoms. These include: Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) Strategies and techniques.
My experience is rooted in working in a private practice setting for Calgary Counselling Centre and working as a behavioural aid for children with autistism spectrum disorder.
I believe that even small steps can lead to big transformations and encourage clients to focus on being grounded in the present moment. That is where all the magic happens.
“The present moment is enough” and “We climb a mountain one small step at a time.”
