As a psychologist, I work with change. Change may involve shifts in awareness, attitude, behaviour, goals, acceptance, or coping strategies that will enhance your quality of life and well-being. Many obstacles can prevent us from living a satisfying life. These could be a history of trauma, invalidating relationships, habits that no longer serve us, or environments that may hinder our psychological growth. I can help you identify obstacles to your quality of life, develop strategies to tackle them, and set goals to increase and maintain your well-being.
I have been in private practice since 2005. I offer individual, couple (including pre-marital counselling), and group psychotherapy. I am trained in emotion-focused, cognitive-behavioural, humanistic, DBT, and mindfulness approaches. I have also trained in CBT for Insomnia. Together we will identify the method that best matches your style and your needs.
I find great beauty in the work I do. I appreciate people's strength and resiliency while facing hardships and feel honoured that my clients trust me. I truly appreciate the opportunity to help you find power in vulnerability and opportunities for growth in moments of crisis and loss.
