Therapeutic Approach
Childhood and adolescence are critical developmental periods during which the foundations of mental health are established. Guided by this understanding, I strive to support youth experiencing mental health challenges and to work collaboratively with their caregivers to promote resilience, well-being, and healthy development. I foster a deep, caring relationship with youth and their families as we work together on relevant and meaningful treatment goals.
My approach integrates evidence-based interventions (e.g., Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Emotion-Focused Family Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) with developmental science to support youth and their caregivers in making meaningful, lasting changes to their mental health and well-being.
I believe that parents and caregivers are central to their children’s mental health and well-being. I intentionally involve them as active partners in care, from establishing therapeutic goals to supporting progress through the completion of therapy.
