I am dedicated to helping people grow. I believe that therapy is a sacred space that allows us to feel seen, heard, understood, and accepted. Building insight and doing the work is not always easy, but it is my belief that changing patterns and taking responsibility for our life is the single best gift we could ever give to ourselves. My favourite work in therapy includes: helping people break unhelpful patterns, creating more purpose and fulfillment in life, increasing self-awareness, examining unconscious blocks and limiting beliefs, creating more harmony in relationships, and learning to let go of what no longer serves us.
I work from a holistic perspective and draw from a variety of approaches, including mindfulness-based techniques, cognitive behavioural therapy, psychoanalytic techniques, emotion-focused therapy and motivational interviewing techniques. I am an active participant in our sessions, and will provide feedback and insight along the way.
In our work together, I will guide you through a healing process that is realistic, motivating, goal-oriented and transparent. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space to be vulnerable and practice the courage necessary for growth. It would be my honour to accompany you on on your journey towards wellness. Feel free to look at my website to get to know me!
