MY APPROACH
COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY (CBT)
A practical, goal-oriented approach that helps identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns, behaviours, and coping habits.
DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOUR THERAPY (DBT)
Focused on emotional regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and building healthier ways of responding to difficult emotions.
PERSON-CENTRED THERAPY
A compassionate, collaborative approach that honours your unique experiences and supports growth through a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship.
CONFIDENTIALITY
All sessions are private and confidential.
All information collected in session or through written documents are held in the strictest confidence and is not released without written authorization from you, the client.
There are certain situations, however, where I am required by law to release information.
They are as follows:
If there is any indication that a child is at risk from sexual, physical, emotional abuse and/or neglect.
If there is danger of the client seriously hurting themselves or others.
In the case where a client has been abused by a healthcare professional.
When documents and reports are subpoenaed by the court.
ONLINE THERAPY
In a changing world to meet changing safety needs, many therapists transitioned to online therapy. Although skeptical at first, I have experienced this platform not only to bring about meaningful therapeutic relationships similar to in person, it also has increased accessibility. If you live outside of Thunder Bay, find yourself feeling more comfortable at home, and/or have intense anxiety about coming into an office space, please know this is always an alternative option available to you.
