Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), developed by Dr. Marsha M. Linehan, is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop healthier coping strategies. DBT combines acceptance with meaningful change, teaching practical skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is particularly effective for people experiencing emotional dysregulation, self-harm urges, borderline personality disorder, anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic stress. By learning these evidence-based skills, clients build resilience, respond more effectively to life’s challenges, and create a more balanced, fulfilling, and emotionally stable life.

Schema Therapy, developed by Dr. Jeffrey E. Young, is an integrative, evidence-based approach that helps identify and heal deeply rooted emotional patterns, known as schemas, that often develop during childhood or adolescence. These patterns can influence relationships, self-esteem, emotional wellbeing, and coping behaviours throughout adulthood. By combining elements of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), attachment theory, psychodynamic therapy, and experiential techniques, Schema Therapy helps individuals understand the origins of these patterns and develop healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating to others. It is particularly effective for personality disorders, chronic emotional difficulties, trauma, relationship issues, and longstanding life patterns.

Couple Therapy provides a supportive and structured space for partners to strengthen their relationship, improve communication, and navigate conflicts with greater understanding and empathy. My approach integrates evidence-based principles from the Gottman Method, Emotion Focused Therapy (Dr. Sue Johnson), and Attachment Theory to help couples rebuild trust, manage recurring conflicts, heal after betrayal, and deepen emotional connection. Whether you’re dating, engaged, married, or considering separation, therapy focuses on fostering healthier communication, emotional safety, shared understanding, and practical strategies that support a more fulfilling and resilient relationship.
