My therapeutic approach is grounded in deep respect for each person’s uniqueness and inherent worth. Through a collaborative and empathetic process, I aim to create a supportive, transformative space where clients can explore their inner world, strengthen relationships, and work toward authenticity, connection, and well-being. My practice draws on Person-Centered Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, especially in addressing relational and emotional challenges. This allows me to help clients identify and build on their strengths, highlighting past successes and envisioning positive outcomes. I support clients in identifying and articulating their emotions, exploring underlying relational patterns and attachment needs, and developing healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. By facilitating emotional expression, validation, and understanding, I help clients foster greater intimacy, connection, and relational satisfaction, empowering them to create positive, lasting change.
During our journey together, we will use an integrative therapeutic approach that is trauma-informed, person-centered, and collaborative, ultimately meeting you where you are at on your healing journey.

The main therapeutic modalities that inform my practice are Person-centred therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotion-focused therapy (EFT), as well as Gottman and Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) for couples. I am also interested in incorporating Eye Movement Desensitization Therapy (EMDR) and other mindfulness/somatic-based therapies.

Through collaborative exploration, we will identify your goals and develop strategies to achieve them. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from a range of modalities tailored to your specific needs and experiences.

In my approach to counselling, I’m all about creating space and appreciation for each client to tell their story, in their words, the way that they want and at their own pace. My style blends active listening, empathy, and exploration during our sessions. I appreciate the practice of mindfulness and listening to the body while honoring each person’s intuition about their life circumstances. Honesty, openness, and the subtle strength of silence are core principles of my practice that offer my clients growth.
I draw from different therapeutic approaches, including Person-centered therapy, Existentialism, Somatic Processing, and more. I am always looking for new techniques to better support you on your journey. The first step in reaching out can be daunting, so if you made it here - you are capable of healing. Together, we can navigate the challenges that you are facing and emerge stronger and with more resilience on the other side.

Intern Counsellor
I believe that human suffering arises when we become disconnected from ourselves, others, and our planet. Therefore, in my practice, I operate under the belief that healing is a relational and interconnected process. To help facilitate this process, I use empathy, non-judgment, and authenticity to create a bridge of connection between you and I, guiding you toward your inner strengths and capacities. Using a person-centered, humanistic approach, I consider you the expert of your life. Therefore, it’s necessary that we work together as a team to help you construct and achieve your goals.
I use an integrative approach to counselling, meaning that my choice of theory or intervention depends on your unique needs. Therefore, during our sessions I may include mindfulness or self-compassion building skills, such as drawing awareness to bodily sensations in the present moment or cultivating self-love and acceptance towards oneself. Furthermore, we may explore and increase your understanding of attachment patterns to help you build secure connections, enhance emotional expression between partners, or construct solutions to problems based on prior successes. I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive space where individuals from all walks of life feel welcomed and understood. This includes supporting the complexities of traditional and non-traditional relationship structures, as well as the LGBTQ2S+ community, which I am a part of. I’m here for you.
