You might look like you’re holding it together on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or constantly on edge. Maybe your mind doesn’t slow down, you avoid certain situations, or you feel disconnected from yourself or others. You want relief, clarity, and to feel more like yourself again, not just coping, but actually living. You’re looking for a therapist who feels safe, grounded, and supportive, while also helping you make real, meaningful change.

Under the framework of modern attachment theories, I work with clients to gain a greater sense of self-autonomy, determination and understanding. Many of our thoughts and feelings go unchecked during the busyness of a common day. In our work together, we will first learn to identify maladaptive core beliefs that so often plague our mental wellness. From there, I will implement EFT, narrative, and mindfulness approaches to combat self-defeating behaviours. How we think and feel about ourselves has a profound effect on our overall well-being, and both consciously and subconsciously influences every action (or in-action) we take.
