I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor who loves working with children, teenagers, adults and parents toward a fulfilling life that is envisioned by them. I believe that seeking counselling is one of the most important decisions that people can make for themselves and their loved ones. Embarking on a journey of self growth and healing can be difficult; yet, I know firsthand that the results are worthwhile. Most clients work with me to better manage stress, anxiety, depression, marital challenges, family conflicts, phobias and ADHD.
In my practice, I make use of various psychotherapy approaches based on client's needs, drawing mostly from the Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment Theory. When working with children, I offer Sand Therapy, Play Therapy and Art Therapy. My work also is trauma-informed and gender-sensitive.
If you are feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands or family struggles, my services aim to introduce clarity, and to help you and your loved ones develop new ways of being, so you can navigate life with a clearer sense of direction and well-being. Please feel free to book a 15-min free consultation if you'd like to learn more about my services.
