My approach

I primarily work with adults. As the client and I build a therapeutic relationship, I listen to their story. I am especially careful to draw out the strengths that the client has and I use my counselling skills to help them build upon these skills they already have. Using the tenets of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we deepen our understanding of their situation by exploring their thoughts, emotions, behaviors and body reactions involved. Through this process we are able to set-up a plan of action in which we design a specific treatment plan tailored to their specific needs. The therapeutic relationship in CBT typically spans 10-15 sessions in which the client becomes familiar enough with CBT to be able to integrate several therapeutic strategies into their lifestyle.
