Whether you are seeking support as a result of a sudden transition in your life or a longstanding issue that has just become too heavy to carry, I believe therapy can offer a unique space for healing and growth. I have extensive experience working with adults experiencing anxiety, sadness, stress, chronic pain, and trauma in both private practice and in treatment settings.
I will support you to identify and regulate your emotions, as well as shift unhealthy patterns of communication and behaviour. This allows you to develop new skills in order to build deeper and healthier relationships with yourself and others.
My approach to therapy is evidence-based, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive. My role is to support you in feeling safe to express emotions, process difficult experiences, explore options, and to learn new skills to thrive in your life. I am eager to explore your needs, challenges and goals.
