I particularly assist clients that require therapy in the areas of anxiety, substance abuse (other addictions), depression and relationship issues. My focus is on working with the client towards personal development and goal setting. Each client is so very unique, hence, requires a personal counselling approach that is catered entirely for them. As a therapist, i work with various approaches such as: CBT, ACT, humanistic approach and TRTP (trauma therapy) amongst many other(s).

Don't expect to see a change if you don't make one. I enable positive change. My clients may have seen a therapist or coach before, but it didn't change anything for them. They then come to me. They want to make lasting positive change in their lives, but they need somebody to give them structured tools and support them in the growth process. Change can be good, but it is not easy. Typically, my clients come to me feeling that living on auto-pilot or that they have lost touch with who they are at their core. They desire more life satisfaction and are prepared to work for it. They want to thrive not just survive.

What you can expect working with me: Working as a Clinical Psychologist for six years, my style has been to keep things honest and real. I’ll gently challenge some of the habits or behaviours that might be holding you back. We’ll work together to understand these patterns and find ways to change them so you can feel more in control and happier in your day-to-day life. It might feel a bit uncomfortable sometimes, but I’ll be here to support you as you make those important changes. I also strongly believe in the benefit of a holistic approach, so I will often work alongside any other health professionals involved in your care.

With gentle support and guidance, I will help you navigate your chosen path, whether that involves reducing stress, attaining inner peace, worrying less about others' opinions, gaining self-confidence, fostering enjoyable relationships, or enhancing your work life. I believe that our past shapes our present, and since we develop and may be hurt in relationships, healing and change also happen through relationships.

One of the biggest challenges when seeking psychological support is finding the "right fit", because the idea of opening up and talking about your struggles to someone you don't know can be daunting or overwhelming. It is important to be able to navigate life's challenges in a safe space where you can not only speak freely, but to also receive guidance in a non-judgemental manner. Overcoming mental health challenges is vital for leading a fulfilling and balanced life, therefore, reducing the potential negative impact on relationships, productivity and overall quality of life.

Welcome! Below I have a current note of my upcoming session times: we can also have a call prior to see if it feels right for you. I have a lot of experience and a particular interest in working with people who experienced childhood abuse, trauma, and neglect, and are struggling with the pain that can carry through to adulthood including low self-worth, anxiety, feeling like a failure, perfectionism, difficulties in relationships, addiction, and struggle with body image. A core part of many emotional issues is inner-criticism and I am passionate about working with this very human, yet very painful way of treating ourselves.
