Training
I have training in most therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, Gottman Couple’s Therapy. I come from a system’s perspective with a strong theoretical foundation in Family System’s Theory. I am also highly influenced by attachment literature which informs my work with both couples and individuals. I also have training in specific therapeutic techniques such as EMDR, FLASH, Critical Incident Stress Management, and Mindfulness.
I have significant training and experience in working with sexual issues for both individuals and couples. Some of the issues I address are desire differences, female and male sexual dysfunction, compulsive sexual behaviour, and sexual abuse.
