As your therapist, I am deeply committed to move you forward to a resolution of your life's issues and live life the way you truly want to live it.

"My approach to counselling and psychotherapy is holistic and supportive in nature and is based on a belief that every person holds the unique potential to discover and develop their individual inner resources and strengths.

"Welcoming New Clients. Are you feeling overwhelmed and looking for a counselor who has compassion without judgement? I counsel from a strengths-based framework, working with clients to embrace coping strategies to achieve their goals in health and happiness. My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in narrative therapy, family systems and vicarious trauma/compassion fatigue. I believe that people who access counselling are at a place in their lives where they have identified wanting to be in control of their future selves. I'm looking forward to hearing from you so that we can start down that road together."

"Life can sometimes become overwhelming and people can benefit from a safe, open space to share their stories and receive support. Counselling and psychotherapy are services delivered through a therapeutic relationship with someone who is trained to support others. Some benefits to engaging in counselling and psychotherapy are: finding ways to solve problems, improving your self-esteem, practicing new and more positive behaviours, learning to manage emotions from stressors, developing a greater degree of self-awareness, learning to love and accept yourself, and improving your overall well-being. "

"If you want to learn, to grow, and to heal you can go to therapy. Therapy is unique in that it treats problems (medical model) as well as improves an already decent life (wellness model). Therapy is effective for helping painful experiences become tolerable. It is a proven method for changing harmful thinking, relational patterns, and behavioral patterns. By helping achieve your potential and a healthy well-being, it can also be used to make good lives great. It can even expand and explore spiritual aspirations."

"*Waitlist only - not currently seeing new clients - * - Starting counselling for the first time or at any point can be a very intimidating process. My priority is to make this experience less overwhelming by being transparent about the process, helping you identify the challenges you're currently facing, making goals, and creating a plan for change that you are comfortable with. We will explore the situation(s) that have brought you to counselling, discuss how you have coped so far and start to take on new perspectives by understanding the way your emotions and thoughts are impacting how you feel and behave."

"I have had the privilege of experiencing being a client long before I became a therapist. This experience has provided me with the keen understanding of how much strength and courage it takes to reach out and ask for help. Therapy can seem awkward and uncomfortable, but it doesn’t have to be! That’s where I come in! My priority is to create a safe environment where you can express your struggles and fears without worrying about judgement. "

"Every person has different mental health needs. Therapeutic and counselling sessions should address your needs and your goals. Helping you find balance towards fulfilling your wellness goals is fundamental to my client-centred therapeutic approach.

DIFT combines eastern and western approaches that are significant in developing a culturally responsive therapeutic plan."
