My approach to psychotherapy is “eclectic”. This approach recognizes that no single type of psychotherapy is comprehensive enough to address the complexities and predicaments of human existence. As a therapist, I strive to integrate different counselling theories and therapeutic interventions. I believe that different people, at different life stages, and facing various challenges, can be helped by different approaches to psychotherapy. At different times, with various clients, I might draw my approaches from any of the following schools of psychotherapy: Cognitive-Behavioural (CBT), Dialectical-Behavioural (DBT), Interpersonal (IPT), Solution-Focused, Gestalt, Narrative or Existential. In addition, I am influenced by the “common factors” approach to psychotherapy. I have 16 years of experience in the mental health care field. I hold a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from OISE/University of Toronto and am a member of OACCPP. I have completed 1500 hours of supervised training in psychotherapy and continue to be supervised by a clinical psychologist. I also possess additional specialty training in CBT, DBT and IPT and have been specializing in mood and anxiety disorders.
