So you're feeling stuck. You're so good at intellectualizing things but it's hard to slow down and make space for your emotions. You know the familiar back and forth between doing everything all at once or not being able to get up from the couch. The anxiety, perfectionism, uncertainty, past trauma, worries, and internal clutter cloud your mind. Sometimes it all feels like too much to handle, so you numb out. Still, you want to understand your patterns and process your past. You are ready to put in the work.

I work from a model of health, balance and empathy by bringing into awareness the places where we get stuck and our unique ways of getting there. You know best when your patterns of coping are no longer working. A therapist's job is to support you in creating positive shifts in your life. This support may sometimes feel frustrating, especially when our familiar patterns of functioning are being challenged. I incorporate art, humour and paradox in sessions allowing for a creative, spontaneous exploration of your needs, contradictions and feelings and by providing a safe space where new possibilities and hope are possible.

I am not your expert - you are.  I am willing to co-create with you an atmosphere in which meaningful conversations can take place with a hope that we explore at least three things together: We can recapture some of your skills of living and knowledges of life and try to apply them to your present life circumstances. Part of the process is pure creation. I don’t not know what we may end up talking about. We have never met before. The very fact gives a chance to create ideas neither of us would be able to come up with on our own. Also I am willing to share with you my ideas coming from my both professional and personal experiences. 

If you are looking to create a deeper understanding of yourself, I would like to invite you into exploring psychotherapy. I work with youth and adults who are interested in becoming more of ‘their authentic self’, want to deepen their social-emotional-spiritual connection, and release any hurts, burdens, pains they have had to carry throughout their childhood and adolescence. If you are looking for ways to support your own well-being, manage stress and better understand your emotions/reactions, IFS can create that space for you to experience more harmony, clarity and direction.

We all struggle in invisible ways as our lives become inhibited by pressures and expectations of the day to day. We are often further debilitated by our less than perfect past, where old hurts and abandon influence our current choices. Most impacted are our relationships, our work, and our connection to the self. I believe therapy gives us the opportunity to both accept what was and is, and through growth orienting processes help us recreate ourselves into versions that feel more aligned with who we would like to become.

I'm passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges and cultivate meaningful change through psychotherapy. My goal is to provide a safe and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. Through a combination of evidence-based techniques and compassionate support, I aim to empower you to overcome obstacles, cultivate self-awareness, and create positive change in your life.

Confused, drained or ALONE in your relationship? Are you putting the needs of others before your own? Are you changing yourself (like a chameleon) in order to feel appreciated? If the other person becomes your main focus and you modify your behaviors and ignore your needs to keep the relationship going at any cost, you have codependency. Codependents are MAGNETS for entitled, narcissistic, grandiose personalities. The ensuing relationship can stumble along for a LONG time, requiring huge amounts of effort and energy to keep up until finally it falls apart. When it does, you feel betrayed and abandoned (codependent's biggest fear).

Welcome! I offer individual and couples talk therapy to adults, bringing warmth, empathy and patience into each interaction. My aim is to make therapy a safe, comfortable and non-judgmental space where the healing process can take place. I practice through a strengths-based lens, tailoring my approach to fit each individual's diverse background. I integrate various evidence-based treatments to support my patients in developing better self-awareness, feeling “unstuck” and learning new skills (e.g. cognitive behavioural therapy, emotional focused therapy, attachment theory and mindfulness techniques).

*** Accepting New Clients***. Life happens as we make plans! Do you wonder about your purpose and meaning in life? Are you tired of receiving the same outcomes or life challenges? Are you feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, confused, overwhelmed or emotional tired? We assist clients who want to get to know themselves, identify triggers and patterns, regulate emotions, life changes or career counselling. In a safe space clients work on healing life’s wounds, traumas and to make sense out of chaos to create the life they want. We learn from the past - face the present to create a healthier future and live life ON purpose.

Are you a driven individual, a doctor, high achiever, or business professional, who is constantly striving for excellence in every facet of your life? Do you feel like all do is work, but you're never truly feeling satisfied? Do you find that your pursuit of success often comes at the cost of your own well-being and fulfillment? Do you just want some space to breathe and actually figure out what you truly want? I'm here to offer you a safe harbour amidst the storm—a space where you can navigate the complexities of your demanding profession without sacrificing your mental and emotional well-being.

People who may not be able to experience other kinds of psychotherapies are often more open to the benefits of music therapy. You can develop love for life through creative music making, because music plays incredible role in human well-being. I provide a person-centred and evidence-based music therapy/psychotherapy, using a heart-centred model as a representative of the humanistic approach, and a music-centred model as a professional musician, which gives me a wide range of musical and verbal choices for implementing activities and allows me to be flexible in selecting methods and techniques.

Recovery from pain is possible. Let's start together from understanding YOUR pain and creating a path to wellness that is unique for YOU. I am fascinated by the brain and body connection and the immense possibilities that arise when we open ourselves to learning and understanding how various psychoneurobiological mechanisms work, how our environments and circumstances have shaped us and continue to do so, and how we can harness the power of that understanding towards change. Studies indicate that many chronic pain conditions are often not the result of structural causes, but of psychoneurobiological processes that can be reversed.
