In my sessions, I incorporate theoretical knowledge, mindfulness exercises, and my warmth and relatability for a well-rounded & inclusive space.
Do you feel stuck? Disconnected from your needs, wants, or sense of self? Are you ready to create movement in your life? Whether you’re focused on school, work, relationships, self-discovery, or all of the above, you’re trying to “figure it all out” alone, and it has become exhausting and confusing! On top of it all, decision making feels impossible. Since you're disconnected from your needs, you may even feel pressure to live according to expectations of others. Now, you’re left with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, burnout, and living a life that doesn’t feel like it’s truly yours. I know the feeling, and I’m here for you.

My treatment modalities include: Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Somatic Internal Family Systems/Parts Work and Mindfulness.
Welcome! I see clients both in-person and virtually. My approach is led by a belief that feeling deeply is what makes us human and that we all can benefit from shining light on areas that need more love and compassion on our healing journey. I specialize and work with clients who experience anxiety, people pleasing tendencies, perfectionism, self-esteem issues, relationship challenges (romantic, family and friends), and difficulties with regulating emotions. As a child of immigrants, I also hold space in sessions to discuss the impact of intergenerational trauma and ancestral burdens.

At Life in Harmony Counselling Services private practice, we help our clients discover their voice, wisdom, and strength by utilizing a range of advanced techniques such as Mindfulness, CBT, Guided Imagery, Play Therapy, Art Therapy, Narrative Therapy, DBT, and Trauma Techniques.
Our therapists often hear from clients who say, "I'm aware of what I need to do, but I struggle to take action." This sentiment may resonate with you. It's normal to feel unsure and anxious during times of crisis, family conflict, relationship issues, or any significant life changes. However, if these emotions hinder your progress, ignoring them won't make them go away. It's crucial to acknowledge your fears, pinpoint their origins, and take proactive steps to overcome them for your well-being.

How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.

When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?

If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behaviour through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?

This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.

Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
