LGBTQ Therapy

Therapy Services

I use emotion and solution-focused techniques to help you meet your goals. This means we will talk about feelings and explore them in order to help you experience, identify and regulate emotions, to better guide you in your relationships and decision-making. I will also offer advice and expertise on healthy relationships, boundaries, assertiveness and other issues you may be struggling with. We can figure out what your personal triggers are and how they impact your life, so you can move forward in a good way and feel at peace. We will explore your concerns together in a safe, open dialogue in which you feel cared for. I also use emotional exploration, visualizations, Gestalt, Sandtray and other creative/therapeutic techniques in sessions when deemed appropriate. I occasionally use thought records and other exercises from the Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy approach.
