Are you feeling depressed, anxious or overwhelmed? Do you think that life has not been fair and you suffer from emotional pain/guilt? Are you looking for answers/solutions for your mental or physical illness? For 20 years I have been working with clients helping them with their unique life story. My therapy opens up the understanding of physical/mental disorder and integrates what has been rejected in your life. One client understood the circumstances that manifested a tumor and decided to continue her life without it. She actually started to appreciate her life and stopped blaming her parents for her upbringing.

Life experiences past and present can both contribute to underlying mental health issues that decrease the quality of your life. I am here to listen to your story and guide you through the painful parts, overcome challenges and help you reach your goals. I help people piece together their past and work towards a meaningful present. With over 15 years in the field, I bring both life and professional experience to my work. I support people with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression and other mood and emotional disorders. Over the years I have also supported professionals who experience burnout, various trauma and compassion fatigue.

The greatest thing about life is that no one is ever taught how to live life; we all learn on a daily basis and that can come with its own challenges. We are all trying our best everyday and it is okay if we don't know the answer all the time. This is where it becomes important to ask for help. As they instruct us in airplanes to put on our oxygen masks first before helping others, it is a reminder that we must help ourselves first in order to be there for others. Asking for help is a strength and is not selfish, but is self-care.

I always say - life has 3 guarantees: constant work, pain and change/uncertainty. We are all going to experience these things at one point or another, and when it's present, it's not uncommon to feel disconnected and overwhelmed. I'm here to help you rediscover your way back to balance and well-being. My philosophy is simple: many of our struggles, whether they're related to trauma, relationships, life transitions, family conflicts, or anxiety, can often be traced back to disconnection - from yourself and from others.

We all come from different walks of life, each of us carrying a unique story. Being unique means that we also bring different outlooks on the world, which deserve to be appreciated in their own light. As a therapist, I see my role as someone who walks alongside you, never telling you how to feel, but helping you explore how life experiences shape our feelings and worldview. Through this, I aim to support you to navigate the world with greater confidence and insight into yourself.

Everyone has challenges in their lives. These challenges bring about stress, anxiety, burnout, depression and many other mental health concerns. Whether it's life transitions, work stress, death, divorce or the pandemic "new normal", you may be questioning how to cope with any new unhealthy thinking patterns and habits you may have. Thankfully, you are not alone in all this and many others have sought support as well.

I believe that when we come to therapy, we have the potential to heal ourselves. We are the masters of our own paths in life. It’s the circumstances in our lives—such as our social environment and various other factors—which can prevent us from living up to our full potential. I believe that through therapy, these hidden potentials can be realized. As a therapist, I act as a facilitator to help my clients see what they already have inside of them, foster self-acceptance, and help them reach their life goals through discovery of the self and of one’s own strengths.

Do you suffer with feeling separated from yourself and others? Do you place your needs at the bottom of your to-do list? Do you ever think whether life might be better? Happier? People are more nervous, stressed, and unsure about how to manage their relationships, occupations, and lives than ever before. Pushing your needs aside and not taking time for yourself might result in long-term problems for your mind and body. We can provide effective coping mechanisms for managing intense emotions and feelings by improving self-understanding and behaviour patterns in a safe, judgment-free environment.

There can be extremely challenging and stressful times in life that can lead to difficult emotions. These can be hard to express to other people or even ourselves, which can sometimes even prolong the pain that we sit in. During our sessions, I will help provide a warm, non-judgmental and compassionate space. I want you to feel supported in your journey, as well as safe in being able to express any thoughts or feelings that you hold.

After 25 years of providing psychotherapy, I am even more certain that assisting people to a better place of well-being is an honouring process. I believe that people usually come to a therapy process because despite their efforts, their roadmap in their lives doesn't apply anymore. Therapeutic conversations can provide an opportunity to explore life experiences and create new awareness of choices and strategies to resolve the difficulties that you may be experiencing.
