As a psychotherapist, I understand, and acknowledge, the vulnerability that accompanies counseling.
Emotional growth is contingent on gradually (1) facing, (2) addressing, and/or (3) overcoming challenges pertaining to:
Relationship(s).
Lived Experience(s).
Grief & Loss.
Illness & Injury.
Parenting.
Academia & Work.
I aspire to foster a therapeutic space that is warm, welcoming, safe, and neutral.
This environment creates a foundation that facilitates strong therapeutic alliances.
I utilize the following orientations to guide my practice:
Frameworks
Client-Centered.
Trauma-Informed.
Culturally-Sensative.
Biopsychosocial Model.
Modalities
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)
Solution Focused (Brief) Therapy (SFT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)
I have a particular interest in the following areas of practice:
Anxiety.
Mood Disorders.
Obessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Trauma.
Men's Mental Health.
Academic / Work Stressors.
Life Transitions.
Conflict.
Cultural Counselling.
As a psychotherapist, I view my role as one in which I provide guidance, support, and insight. Additionally, I value the self-introspection fostered during counseling that inspires individuals to make meaningful, and sustainable, changes.
I am committed to my professional development, and I regularly engage in clinical supervision, and consultation, with my colleagues. Furthermore, I also engage in continuing education courses to keep adept in the rapidly changing field of counseling psychology.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time with family, friends, model-building, being outdoors, and spending time with my adorable Maltese.
