Are you struggling right now? Are you feeling stuck? Are you feeling anxious? Are you grieving? Is it hard for you to reach out for help? Are you being heard or seen? Do you have supports in place? I am here to provide you a listening ear and support you by helping you set your goals and help you find coping strategies. The word 'therapy' can cause fear. We can work collaboratively to find what works best for you. My interventions will help you connect with your body and mind which will in turn help with your thoughts, feelings and body sensations.

I use person-centred approach to help clients build trust and self-explore. Cognitive behaviour therapy, gestalt therapy and an integrative approach is used to help you with your thoughts, emotions and behaviours. When you feel safe, a session may also include exploring emotions and thoughts through expressive arts.

I understand what you are going through is hard right now. I hear you want the pain to disappear and want to be heard and seen. I see you want to fix your problems and find solutions to what you are going through. I want to create a safe space for you and help you reach your goals. Reach out to me and I will provide you with a free consultation session.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, grief or trauma. During our initial sessions we will delve into gathering information about your presenting problem. Followed by this we will create goals together. There is no quick fix and it is a gradual healing process. I will work with you as you set your goals and notice changes and improvement.

I often use an integrative approach. I use an integrative and holistic approach, beginning with your emotions, sensations in your body and thoughts, followed by using expressive arts and help you come back to the present moment. Along with the above, I also use CBT if you are not open to exploring the creative part of you. I leave it up to you to choose what you feel comfortable with.
