As a therapist, I place high value on authenticity, compassion, and connection, while really championing understanding and implementation as a core part of the process. This means that at Fresh Air, psychology is more than just talk. You'll learn practical strategies to implement in real life, and gain genuine understanding of the why behind your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

I draw on a range of evidence-based therapies (including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFT/SFBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Family Systems Theory (FST) and Art Therapy) to tailor support to the individual, rather than focusing on only one specific approach. I combine practical strategies, emotional insight, relationship understanding, and systems thinking to help people better understand themselves, regulate emotions, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change.
 

I also believe humour, authenticity, and human connection are important parts of the therapeutic process. Humour can help create a more relaxed and genuine therapeutic space, helping people feel safe, reduce shame, build perspective - because who doesn't love a good laugh?
 

My approach is practical, relational, and insight-driven, with the goal of helping people not only understand what is happening, but why it is happening and how to respond differently moving forward.
