About
When your past lives on, you aren’t being fair to your future! You may feel like you are reliving the same old story and stuck in a repetitive pattern of negative thoughts, behaviour, and emotions with no way out. As a therapist, I walk with you to revisit these old stories and guide you to change this pattern. We will have an open conversation where you bring the knowledge of your life and I bring the knowledge of how a change can happen. My experience as a therapist has taught me that people need to be understood in an open, nonjudgmental, supportive and nurturing environment. Part of my job is to provide this environment.
I value the mind-body connection and provide an integrative and client-centered approach to healing. I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy to eliminate the obstacles that limit your growth potential.
I provide comprehensive treatment to people who are struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, emotional regulation, chronic pain, insomnia and relationship issues. Over the years, I have worked with people from diverse backgrounds and age groups. Since you’ve gotten this far, you have already taken the first step. Let me guide you the rest of the way.
