As a licensed professional counsellor with a Master's degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy, I am passionate about empowering people to prosper in life. I pride myself on building secure, comfortable connections with my clients, as I have seen over and over that a strong therapeutic relationship is the precursor to lasting growth. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a supportive, empathetic and non-judgmental setting.
I have a strengths based approach to therapy that is grounded in evidence-based practices, including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Schema Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and mindfulness-based interventions. I have also trained up to Level 2 Gottman couples therapy.
People seek therapy for all sorts of reasons, whatever your reasoning I believe the journey can only benefit you! If therapy is something you have been thinking about, please feel free to get in touch. I would love to chat via a free phone consultation to discuss your goals and how I can best support you.
