I also integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, transpersonal, mindfulness, compassion, strength-based, culturally sensitive, and multicultural approaches in therapy.
When old wounds still feel fresh, it’s a sign you’re human and still healing. Even when you’re hurting, healing is possible with time, support, and compassion. We can navigate this journey together. I work with people who are ready to let go of painful memories, rediscover themselves, and build a life that feels true and meaningful. My approach is compassionate and culturally aware, supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, those healing from trauma, and those exploring racial identity and spirituality. If you're looking for a safe space to heal, grow, and reconnect with your inner resilience, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Narrative, collaborative and mindfulness approaches are central in how I approach therapeutic conversations.
I am committed to seeing people as more than just the problems they may be struggling with. I value conversations that allow the richness of people's lives to become more visible and accessible to them. After more than 20 years of practice, I continue to feel privileged to accompany people as they sort out life's difficulties. I see adults across the life span in relation to a range of life concerns, including: depression; anxiety; work-life balance; disordered eating and body image difficulties; sexual, interpersonal and workplace trauma; relationship issues; grief and loss; life transitions and identity questions.

Certified Hakomi Therapist (Somatic and Mindfulness-based Therapy)
I see counselling as a collaborative process and believe that therapy offers a chance to heal, grow, and excel in life. I am passionate about helping people see their strengths and recover from limiting beliefs that are often a result of the minor or major traumas that are a part of life. I view symptoms and undesired behaviours as wise, but outdated adaptations that can be transformed. Befriending our mind and finding self acceptance are key tenets that influence my therapy. With a strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, I strive to provide a safe, curious, and humorous (at times), space for your personal growth.

I present my clients with tools and techniques from mindfulness-based practices, cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, and psychodynamic theory.
Hi and thank you looking at my profile. I work mostly out of a strengths-based perspective which means that when we talk about the things you want to change in your life, I'm not only considering what you struggle with but also all the things that you're great at. In my experience, we all have skills and tools that we might not be aware of and part of my role is to uncover them with you. In some cases, we might also want to add to your toolkit to give you more options to deal with life's challenges. In the past, I've helped clients work through depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, communication skills, and trauma.

I often incorporate mindfulness practices along with CBT modalities to connect you with your present self.
When we feel stuck or disconnected, we are likely experiencing a change in our momentum. My goal for our work together is to inspire forward momentum, however big or small. Rather than chasing goals, I strive to stretch your natural strengths and abilities in order to achieve your desired outcomes. By working together to equalize your own playing field, we can explore the stressors and challenges in your life. This allows us to find strategies to best manage your presenting symptoms while exploring the root discomfort.

I draw in theories such as existentialism, mindfulness, psychodynamic, narrative therapy, Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and solution focused approaches to name a few, while tailoring to the needs of each of my clients.

I teach the importance of training your perceptions, living your emotions, and focusing your attention using mindfulness and biofeedback.
My clients are introspective, serious, and determined. They're looking for change and they appreciate my wide experience, my understanding of their lives, and my open ignorance of their situations. I get into your shoes. We make quick progress and lasting changes because we take things from scratch. I'm most interested in what I understand the least, which are the roots of emotion, reason, body, and spirit. I don't know what's good for you; somewhere inside you, you do. Wherever you go, I follow, even when it's crazy, and that's where we want to go. You're always the expert. You deserve to prevail. (Note: my rates are in US$)

Life can be overwhelming, painful and isolating. These struggles may show up as constant anxiety, panic, chronic fatigue, loneliness, fearing the worst, dreading the days ahead, being critical of yourself, never feeling good enough and obsessive thinking. Often I support individuals experiencing repetitive issues and unhelpful patterns. These may show up in their relationship with themselves and others, at work, school or in their parenting. If you are a parent struggling to support your child, or If you are feeling stuck, limited, or are suffering alone - you could likely benefit from support. You don't have to do it alone!
