I work from a strength based, insight oriented framework which offers my clients the opportunity to rediscover their self, the strengths they have but have lost the sight of or didn’t get the chance to appreciate. I work with people experiencing depression, anxiety, LD/ADHD, ASD, low self-esteem; marginalized groups, racial minorities; individuals with identity struggles; people who want to build healthy self-assertion, resilience and an improved and positive
relationship
with self. I believe a positive and empathic
relationship
with self allows us the capacity to build meaningful and healthy relationships with people around us.

Invest in your
relationship
with yourself.
Connecting with Self is a journey of coming home. Self criticism and self-pressuring (which are symptoms of trauma) may get in the way of that journey. Trauma can't be fixed but can be heard, held and contained, so healing can begin. When we can recognize the symptom of trauma in oursleves and others, we begin to see the real person underneath. Trauma not only affects our mood, but also our body. To renegotiate trauma, you can work with someone who not only professionally understands the healing process, but who also walked through the path themselves.

Counselling is you giving yourself an opportunity to heal. Doing anything new is often scary and you may feel hesitant in taking this step. I would like to support you in taking this step to allow yourself the opportunity to build insight and heal from trauma, or create boundaries in overly challenging and complex relationships. I use a collaborative approach with the use of Cognitive-Behaviourial Therapy (CBT), Strength-Based and Solution-Focused Therapy that is culturally sensitive to offer the support you desire in-order to move towards your goal to have the life and relationships that you desire.

Couples Counselling
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
