I strive to embody a compassionate, supportive, curious, non-judgmental, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed loving presence in order to co-create a safe container for our work together. I believe we are all interconnected with everything and everyone. We are born in relationship, live in relationship, suffer in relationship, and are transformed in relationship. My intention is to facilitate you to develop the awareness and capacity to be intentional and consistent in making the series of choices to cultivate a loving and compassionate relationship with yourself and others.

My approaches focus on honouring the different parts of you, increasing your capacity to hold space for the myriad of feelings, emotions, and sensations that might be conflicting at times, and equipping you with the skills to feel anchored in your own capability and self-lead while you navigate the uncertainties of life. To achieve this, I incorporate mindfulness and somatic therapy into the sessions. I also integrate and draw from various therapeutic modalities such as Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

My approach to counselling emphasizes active listening, empathy, and creating a safe space where clients feel heard and valued. 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.

I approach everything through a trauma-informed, multicultural lens. I am dedicated to continuous professional development and am enthusiastic about learning different evidence-based practices. I work in an integrative, flexible manner and will work with you to find an approach that best suits you. Reaching out for support is a courageous step, and I hope to provide a safe, non-judgemental space for you to explore your feelings, gain clarity, and develop coping strategies, empowering you to navigate this world with greater resilience and confidence.

I enter into each unique therapeutic relationship with compassion, understanding, and openness while ensuring a safe space that fosters mutual respect and unconditional positive regard and is free of judgment. Life has the habit of throwing some major curveballs our way, and I believe that we are each the expert in our own lives and hold the capacity to overcome these challenges. I would be truly honoured and appreciative of the chance to share in your experiences while helping to guide you through the waters.

When beginning a therapeutic relationship with me, you can look forward to being provided with an integrative therapeutic approach that is honest, person-centered, collaborative, and trauma-informed, meeting you wherever you are on your therapeutic/healing/life journey. Therapeutic approaches are not a one-size-fits-all, and I will work with you to develop a unique approach that best suits your individual needs by exploring and incorporating a variety of therapeutic orientations while tapping into your strengths and abilities.

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.

When working with individuals, I take a humanistic approach to build a caring and empathetic relationship between client and counsellor. Together, we will build strategies to alleviate distress, find self-acceptance and strive towards positive change. For this work, I lean on the therapeutic modalities of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy. Though these are my preferred therapeutic styles, counselling works best when adapted to your specific needs.

When working with couples, I ground myself in Attachment Theory and strive to strengthen a base of communication skills, mutual understanding and respect, building towards loving, compassionate and joyful relationships where each partner feels valued and secure. In terms of therapeutic styles, I make use specifically of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and Gottman’s Couples Therapy.

I look forward to meeting you and joining you in your journey towards healing and happiness.

My practice is grounded in person-centred therapy, meaning I believe we all have the capacity for growth when provided with the right conditions.

While I may not have walked the same path as you, I am here to bear witness to your unique journey through life.

During our time together, we will use tools from narrative therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, internal family systems, and emotionally-focused therapy. Your treatment goals and objectives will be top of mind through our work together. My goal is for you to walk away feeling heard, understood, believed, and hopeful.
