Psychotherapists serve persons of all ages and cultural backgrounds in both individual and group settings. Utilizing a variety of approaches including Neurofeedback, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Integrative, Interpersonal, Psychodynamic, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Mindfulness Techniques. I will work with you to create a treatment plan that is customized to meet your unique circumstances.
Additionally, there is a growing body of research that supports the practice of self-compassion and mindfulness in psychotherapy. Neuroscience research reveals individuals that practice these techniques are happier, more resilient, and better equipped to heal painful memories from the past, stress and anxiety.
