Approach

Treatment Approaches
Art therapyRecommended for those who feel more comfortable expressing emotions through creativity and want to explore their feelings through art rather than talking.
Person-centered approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
Every person is unique and I believe in crafting a therapeutic experience that honours singularities. I recommend starting with a free, introductory call to help me establish your needs. Much of our work may involve exploratory conversations, deep listening, thinking, sharing and witnessing. My approach is integrative and I draw on a range of therapeutic modalities to tailor each session to your individual and evolving needs.​ Specifically, I use Psychodynamic, Gestalt, and Jungian therapeutic lenses. At times, I may also weave mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and narrative therapy approaches into sessions. As an Art Psychotherapist, I use artistic, experimental techniques such as embodied mark making, guided imagery and visualizations, and journaling prompts. Creative methods always follow the readiness and needs of the individual.
