Are you looking for effective professional help?

I am committed to providing you with help that is tailored to you and your needs and that is based on methods that research has shown to be effective.
I use short-term forms of counseling and therapy that research has shown to be effective. I draw from a variety of research-supported approaches, including emotion focused therapy (EFT), interpersonal therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and prolonged exposure therapy.

I will work with you to help you feel better and to help you make positive changes so that you can move forward with a greater sense of confidence and happiness and with a deeper understanding of and compassion for yourself and others.
