Counselling is used to deal with a broad range of issues and problems that you may be facing.
It can help you to deal with stress, provide treatment for anxiety and treatment for depression. Counselling can provide you with the opportunity to reassess or set new goals in your life and help you to gain clarity and direction.
Counselling can be used to address issues and problems within your relationship or provide mediation between you and your partner.
In my individual therapy sessions, I draw on an eclectic mix of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), person-centered therapy, and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Together, we’ll establish clear goals to foster positive change and enhance your well-being in a safe and collaborative environment.
In my couples therapy sessions, I integrate the Gottman Method and other research-based techniques to help you and your partner identify core relationship issues. We’ll work together on practical goals to cultivate a healthier, more fulfilling partnership, focusing on communication, trust, and emotional intimacy.
I specialize in supporting youth aged 6-18, providing a safe space for adolescents to explore their feelings. For those dealing with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), I often use CBT and parent- management training to promote positive behavior changes and improve family dynamics. My goal is to help teens navigate challenges and build resilience during this critical stage of development.
As a trained EMDR therapist, I focus on helping clients process and heal from traumatic memories. My guided sessions aim to reduce emotional distress, promoting recovery and resilience for a brighter future.
I provide specialized counseling for veterans, addressing the unique challenges they face, such as PTSD, anxiety, and reintegration into civilian life. Using a combination of therapeutic modalities, including EMDR and CBT, I aim to foster healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose.
I provide specialized counseling for individuals struggling with all types of addiction, including substance use, behavioral addictions (like gambling, gaming, or shopping), and even compulsive habits. Using evidence-based therapeutic approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and relapse prevention techniques, I help clients understand the underlying causes of their addiction, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and rebuild their lives.
I provide career transition counseling for individuals navigating job changes, career shifts, or retirement. By combining career development techniques with supportive counseling strategies, I help clients assess their strengths, explore new opportunities, and build confidence during their career journey.
I specialize in helping individuals navigate the complex emotions of grief and loss. Whether dealing with the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or a major life change, my counseling integrates approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Narrative Therapy to help clients process their emotions, find meaning in their grief, and ultimately heal.
