An important part of healing is understanding the connection between mind and body and how it relates to experiences of anxiety, depression, and trauma. A fundamental component of recognizing your needs is to create an awareness of emotions. Our bodies signal us when there is discord, and through an experiential process, I focus on helping individuals make sense of their world. My work focuses on coping with difficult body sensations while also helping you begin to think and feel differently about your experiences, your emotions and ultimately yourself.

I believe that we all hold the capacity to overcome and move through obstacles in our lives, and we don’t have to do it alone. You are the expert of your own story; I am here to support and guide you through the process. I am passionate about empowering individuals to heal, grow, build resiliency, and improve relationships with themselves and others. Seeing the amount of growth and healing that comes from therapy has continually inspired my passion in this field.

It is with great honour and respect that I guide people out of the maze of confusion, emotional distress and dissatisfaction towards a life with freedom of choice, joy and a state of well-being. It can take a lot of courage to admit that the resources and skills you have traditionally used to solve your problems are not sufficient in your current circumstances. To quote Albert Einstein, "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." I commend you for taking the first step into seeking support and guidance for yourself.
