Life’s journey can sometimes feel overwhelming, and it's life-giving to seek support! If you’re experiencing feelings of uncertainty, sadness, or despair, or if you're struggling with life's demands and relationships, please know that you're not alone. I am here to walk with you towards a place of greater peace and self-acceptance. Together, we explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and work towards making life-giving decisions. I invite you to reach out and begin this journey of healing and transformation. I will respect your autonomy and leverage your strengths, aiming for a healthier and more fulfilling way of being.
With a Doctorate of Counselling Psychotherapy and a foundation in both lived and experiential knowledge, I specialize in a holistic approach. I integrate dimensions of an individual's life—emotional, mental, physical, social, cultural, and spiritual—into the therapeutic process. My approach involves validating and dignifying your experiences compassionately.
Client sometimes are faced with navigating complex life challenges that include anger management, compulsive-addictive behaviors, depression, anxiety, self-worth issues, and relationship conflicts.
