As a deeply empathetic and nurturing individual, I have always felt a profound calling to support others in discovering their strengths, values, and goals. I consider it a privilege to create a space that welcomes vulnerability and courage, where I can learn from the incredible individuals I have the honor of working with and support them on their therapy journey.
I, too, am human, and I have personally experienced the challenges that arise in our fast-paced world. I wholeheartedly believe that therapy is for everyone, regardless of the size or complexity of their hurdles. It is an innate opportunity to invest in your well-being and sense of self.
During our sessions, we can explore your innermost thoughts, overcome obstacles, and nurture your growth. Your well-being matters, and I am here to guide and support you every step of the way.
My therapy approach.
My counselling style is relaxed, conversational, and person-led. I offer a warm, gentle, intuitive and supportive approach to therapy, while also using humour, storytelling and creative therapies where it might feel right for you. Therapy with me will feel conversational, natural, and warm - just like talking to a good friend. I wholeheartedly believe that therapy is for everyone, and that there is nothing too small to talk about. In session with me, I like to guide the client while also taking a back seat with curiosity, creating a safe space to open up.
As your therapist, I work from a non-judgmental, strengths-based, and trauma-informed perspective.
I draw from an integrative framework, combining various therapeutic approaches, including:
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Schema Therapy
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Humanistic Therapy
Compassion-Focused Therapy
CBT-E for eating disorders, and more.
