ABOUT ME

Helping You Move Forward

Counselling is making space for understanding, healing, and moving forward. My priority is to provide a safe space for clients to be heard and to be supported. I strive to meet you where you are and respect your perspectives without judgement but with curiosity.

I work with individuals (youth/young adults/adults), couples, and families from a systemic, trauma-informed, and attachment framework.

My clinical approach is informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Polyvagal Theory. I also borrow from Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interview (MI) to help my clients.

The key ingredients for change involve growing in a healthy relationship with one’s emotions, parts, and connection with others. I am excited for the opportunity to help you discover, explore, and try something new.

Whether you are experiencing difficulties on your own, with a significant other, or with multiple members of the family, know that you are not alone. I am available and committed to listen and walk alongside you in your journey towards understanding, healing, and growth.

Some of the areas that I work with include:

Relationship Difficulties (Couples/ Family)
Pre-engagement
Anxiety & Stress Management
Burnout Prevention
Depression
Trauma
Spiritual Issues
Men's Issues
Life & Career Transitions
Personal Development
Cultural Adjustment
