I am honoured and privileged to build and develop a therapeutic relationship with you, based on trust, safety, and connection. I believe this is essential for supporting you in your journey of healing, as you navigate the complexities of this world. I use a brain-based and relational approach to therapy. I realize that our brain patterns are shaped by our relationships, and they can cause us to experience shame. I am passionate about working with teens, young adults, adults, couples and families, and helping them transform into confident and successful people with effective life skills.
My areas of specialization include children, adolescence, couples and families with a range of concerns such as anxiety, stress, body image, assertiveness, depression, self-esteem, parent coaching, parent / teen conflict, performance enhancement, relationship issues, self-esteem, self harm, sexual orientation, gender identity, grief/loss, ADHD, trauma.
I am passionate about meeting you where you are at and joining you as you work towards growth, healing, and change. I focus on trust, curiosity, and acceptance, to ensure you feel safe, secure, and seen throughout our time together. I use brain based development and attachment theory ,along side using EMDR, Interpersonal neurobiology, mindfulness and more.
