Types of Therapy & Ways we can work together
Different Approaches, Thoughtfully Applied
As an integrative therapist, I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches depending on your unique needs, goals, and preferences.
Rather than following a one-size-fits-all model, therapy is tailored to support you in a way that feels meaningful and effective.
Some of the approaches I may incorporate include:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. CBT can help you identify unhelpful patterns and develop more balanced ways of thinking and responding.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Helps you better understand, process, and work through emotions. This approach can be especially helpful in navigating relationship dynamics and deeper emotional experiences.

Meeting you where you are
A Flexible and Individualized Approach
These approaches are not used in isolation, and not every approach will feel like the right fit for everyone.
Therapy is adapted over time based on what feels most helpful for you, allowing space for your needs, goals, and experiences to guide the process.
