I take a narrative approach to therapy, grounded in the belief that we are each experts in our own lives and that our identities are shaped by the stories we hold about ourselves, our relationships, and our experiences. Together, we'll explore the impact of challenges such as anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, emotional dysregulation, parenting challenges, neurodiversity (e.g., ADHD, ASD, ODD), behavioural concerns, family and relationship difficulties. I value the role of somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, and connection with the natural world in supporting resilience, emotional wellbeing, and growth.

I take a narrative approach to therapy and draw from Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT). I strive to create a therapeutic space that is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in respect, collaboration, and curiosity. My approach acknowledges the impact that trauma, discrimination, and systemic barriers can have on wellbeing, while honouring the strengths, and resilience of people.
