In my experience as a psychotherapist I have found that threading together the approaches of Internal Family Systems (IFS) with Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Brainspotting (BSP), and Relational Cultural Therapy (RCT) a most effective integration. As well, still drawing on tools from Narrative, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Polyvagal Theory/Safe and Sound Protocol, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). Ultimately how psychotherapy will look for you (the client) is and will be unique and specific to your own life experience and your own goals and values.

 

These modalities/approaches of psychotherapy are supported to be effective treatment for Anxiety, Depression, Trauma (PTSD & Complex Childhood), Substance Misuse, Grief Work, and more.

 

I offer one on one therapy, group, also family therapy. Also group workshops and training in compassion, mindfulness, and transpersonal journeys. As well I can provide clinical supervision for other Registered Psychotherapists and for Graduate Level Master Degree students of Counselling Psychology Programs here in the Province of Ontario. If you are a Masters Degree student looking for a practicum  you are welcome to reach out to me. 

 

Some of my most recent trainings include Brainspotting Phase 5 with Dr. David Grand and training with the IFS Institute in Chicago (Level 1, 2, and 3).
