My first exposure to counselling came through my experiences as a high school teacher. I taught Social Studies, Psychology, Law, English, Career Education and even a cooking class. Beyond my teaching duties, I was involved in the choir, athletics, and the school drama productions – I was a veritable Swiss Army Knife of education! But, most importantly, I talked to and heard from the kids. I heard from their parents, and I heard from my colleagues as they expressed their day-to-day professional and personal frustrations. I loved teaching, but at some point, my career path shifted from lecturing to listening. I became a counsellor.
In my counselling practice, I take an empathetic and client-centered approach. I have had the privilege of working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, which has deepened my understanding and appreciation of different perspectives. This allows me to create a safe and inclusive space where individuals can explore their concerns.
I strive to create a collaborative environment that encourages personal growth and self-discovery. I draw from several theoretical approaches based on the needs and preferences of my clients. I primarily integrate elements from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused brief therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and psychodynamic therapy.
