Are you looking for a different approach to addressing your difficulties? If you are exhausted by repeated efforts to cope with symptoms and are interested in addressing your hidden emotions and automatic behaviours that have been driving them, I believe I would be a good fit for you.

During my years practicing psychotherapy I have worked with individuals and couples, always by taking a person-centred approach and working collaboratively with my clients to achieve positive outcomes. I have training and experience in various treatment modalities including cognitive, behavioural, solution-focused and relational strategies. Currently, I predominantly use and obtain ongoing training in ISTDP, an evidence-based emotion-focused psychodynamic treatment that addresses underlying emotional conflicts to help clients work towards long-term therapeutic gains. I am passionate about helping you address the underlying emotions that you avoid with patterns that get in your way of experiencing success in implementing healthy behaviours and being the best version of yourself. 

I am experienced in working with individuals with anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, depression, relationship issues, interpersonal difficulties, grief, and life transitions. I have a special interest in supporting mothers suffering from postpartum depression as they transition to a parental role. If you are a new mother struggling with this, I can help you address the emotional triggers that might be part of your postpartum struggles.

If you are having relationship difficulties, I provide couples therapy using a relational therapy framework. I can help you address your interpersonal dynamics within your relationship that keep you and your partner stuck. 

Tina is a lifelong learner and is passionate about obtaining ongoing continued education to provide her clients with the best care that she can.
