I help clients deal with anxiety, depression, anger, low confidence, stress, trauma and more. I am also passionate about bringing my 15+ years of experience in career counselling to help clients navigate the emotional and practical aspects of work and career-related challenges. Whether it’s about overcoming conflict, gaining a new perspective, finding solutions to problems, needing a job change or career remake, or just having someone to talk to, my goal is to help you focus on what matters and take positive steps guided by your values. I am here to help you get unstuck so that you can live in your potential.
I use an eclectic/integrative approach to therapy, drawing on various disciplines and traditions and using the most applicable techniques from each in order to attune to your specific needs. Areas that we may work on include processing trauma, setting boundaries, communication, decision making, stress management, anxiety, and depression, and more.
I have experience counselling clients from diverse cultures, races, genders, faiths and sexual orientations. My ultimate goal is to fully hear what your challenges are and help you overcome them so that you can thrive.

In your first session we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide the most appropriate way to help you achieve your therapy goals. I often combine Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (talk therapy) to identify any maladaptive coping strategies that are holding you back and CBT to understand how your thoughts affect your emotions and mood and how you respond to situations and people around you.
