Services & Pricing
Blake has three main areas of focus:
1) helping those dealing and coping with narcissistic abuse and dysfunctional family dynamics,
2) relationship therapy using the Gottman Method,
3) high functioning professionals looking to live a more optimal and efficient life.
Specializing in transformative therapy, I focus on three key areas to foster significant change and personal growth: 1) supporting individuals coping with narcissistic abuse, emotional immaturity, and dysfunctional family dynamics, including scapegoating, 2) enhancing relationships using the evidence-based Gottman Method, and 3) guiding high-functioning professionals towards a more optimal and efficient lifestyle. As a Registered Social Worker in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Workers, I am committed to helping you develop deeper insights into your challenges and equipping you with effective tools to navigate them, ensuring a more fulfilled, well-rounded life through a multi-perspective approach.
