We specialize in helping individuals manage and regulate their emotions effectively. Emotional dysregulation can present challenges in daily life, impacting how we respond to situations, interact with others, and manage stress.

Our approach integrates evidence-based therapies such as dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) and cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to enhance emotional awareness, regulate intense emotions, develop effective coping strategies, and improve interpersonal relationships.

Perfectionism is a common trait that can drive individuals to strive for high standards and excellence in their school or work, relationships, and personal endeavours. However, it can also lead to excessive self-criticism, anxiety, and difficulty in completing tasks. At our practice, we recognize that perfectionism can stem from a variety of factors, including upbringing, societal pressures, and internal beliefs about self-worth and success.  Our approach incorporates evidence-based therapies which focus on challenging perfectionistic thoughts and behaviours, developing more realistic standards, and building self-compassion. 

OCD is a mental health condition characterized by intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours or mental acts (compulsions).

Our goal is to help you gain a better understanding of OCD, develop effective coping strategies, and regain control over your thoughts and behaviours.

Life is full of transitions - whether they're anticipated milestones like starting a new job, moving to a new city, or entering a new relationship, or unexpected challenges like loss, illness, or major life upheavals.

At our practice, we provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where we work collaboratively with you to explore the impact of these changes on your life and well-being. We understand that navigating transitions involves adapting to new circumstances, processing emotions, and sometimes letting go of old patterns.
