My approach aims to empower and motivate clients in the therapeutic process. I believe that people can reach their full potential under the right conditions. I hope to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to express your feelings and unpack your story. I collaborate with my clients to better understand their life challenges and to develop goals that help you move towards where you want to be.
My specialty areas includes Emotion-Focused Family Therapy, Family Systems, and overall Family Enhancement. I incorporate elements of Person-Centered Therapy, CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Sensitive Approaches, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindful Based Practices. My therapeutic process involves tailoring the approach to best meet your needs.
I have a genuine appreciation for relationships with others, including the connection in the counselling room. I value the importance of having a strong therapist-client match. My goal is to provide therapy with compassion, understanding, and respect for the challenges and hardships that you are facing.
