Hurting people hurt people, but they also tend to hurt themselves in the long run. The need for an unbiased and non-judgemental person to talk to can serve to provide a sense of relief from the stress you may be facing in the moment.

For whatever your needs may be, I will tailor the treatment plan accordingly and strive to find the best approach to meet them.

"We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future."

I consider it an honour to work alongside people who are motivated for change and moving forward in life. As we are all very complex and unique I seek to help you identify and address your needs, challenges and goals from a respectful, positive and supportive role that is future focused.

I believe that each of us is capable of much more than we are aware, and that being seen and supported can shine light on the innate wisdom and strength within. As your therapist, some of the themes I will explore with you are attachment patterns, automatic thoughts, self-limiting beliefs, and emotion processing. I use an integrative approach pulling from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Emotion Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Based CBT. My practice is inclusive and person-centered - you are the expert in your own life and I value and respect the unique perspective you bring.
