Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward? Life can bring challenges that feel isolating — but you don’t have to face them alone. As a counsellor, I work with individuals, couples, and youth navigating stress, relational difficulties, low motivation, and other personal struggles.
My approach is grounded in Humanistic theory and tailored to each client. I also incorporate EFT and DBT, particularly when working with youth and adolescents. These approaches support young people in understanding and managing their emotions, building coping strategies, and improving communication in their relationships.

I take an integrative approach to therapy, meaning I draw from a variety of therapeutic styles to create a personalized experience that works for you. I favour experiential modalities like Internal Family Systems (IFS)/parts work, which helps us explore and understand the different parts of you that may have conflicting needs or desires—for example, one part may long for love while another fears commitment. By working with these parts, we can reduce inner conflict and foster more balance and self-compassion. Alongside IFS, I incorporate practical and grounded tools from cognitive modalities (including ERP therapy for OCD).

Are you struggling to find balance in your daily life challenges?
