Individual Therapy
The primary goal of individual therapy is to increase understanding of one's thoughts and behavior patterns to help increase function and well-being. In therapy, people can learn how to effectively manage stress, interpersonal difficulties, and troubling situations. Specialized in treating Anger issues, Anxiety, Bipolar disorder, Depression, Panic attacks, Personality disorder, Phobias, and Low self-esteem using CBT and DBT.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapeutic treatment that helps people learn how to identify and change destructive or disturbing thought patterns that have a negative influence on behavior and emotions.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment for many mental health conditions. In DBT, you learn to manage intense emotions, cope with distress, and cultivate healthy relationships.
Couple Therapy
Couples who enter into Gottman Method Couples Therapy begin with an assessment process that then informs the therapeutic framework and intervention.
Interventions are designed to help couples strengthen their relationships in three primary areas: friendship, conflict management, and the creation of shared meaning. Couples learn to replace negative conflict patterns with positive interactions and to repair past hurts. Interventions designed to increase closeness and intimacy are used to improve friendship, deepen emotional connection, and create changes that enhance the couple's shared goals. Relapse prevention is also addressed.
Some of the relationship issues that may be addressed in therapy include:
-
Frequent conflict and arguments
-
Poor communication
-
Emotionally distanced couples on the verge of separation
-
Specific problems such as infidelity, money, and parenting
My Approach
The lotus flower logo represents our ability to come from a place of distress to a position of fulfilment. The lotus, similarly, has roots that start in the muddy earth and rise up through the water to the light of the sun. This signifies that we too can rise up from any difficulties and reconnect to ourselves and to the world around us. The characteristic of the lotus transforming into a beautiful flower is a perfect analogy of human nature to triumph over adversities.
This represents our Courage To Overcome.
My approach is multidimensional and integrates techniques from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and other modalities for anxiety, depression, career planning, phobias, stress, physical or psychosomatic disorders, behavioural problems, marital and couples’ relationship issues.
Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery. Beginning therapy can be a big step towards being the healthiest version of yourself and living the best life possible—no matter what challenges you may be facing. Through therapy, you can change self-destructive behaviours and habits, resolve painful feelings, improve your relationships, and much more. Whether requiring individual, group, or couples therapy, your relationship with the therapist is always confidential and focuses not only on the content of what is discussed but also on the personalized treatment plan.
On the whole, you can expect your therapist will be someone who supports you, listens attentively, models a healthy and positive relationship experience, gives you appropriate feedback, and follows ethical guidelines. Good therapy should be tailored to you and your experiences.
