Stressed?? Anxious?? Depressed?? Are you struggling to find the right therapist? Feeling lost? All first sessions are FREE with no obligations. WHY? I am passionate about creating opportunities for healing centered around your unique needs! My personal philosophy is radical acceptance. I believe that most coping strategies (from perfectionism to addictions) actually enable survival to one's best ability. Reflect on how your personal coping methods enabled you to survive until this moment! I believe in honouring old patterns with awareness. We must recognize and accept what is holding us back in order to change it.
My approach tailors/ mixes and matches best fitting modalities and resources to your needs. My specialties include CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), DBT Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative, Harm Reduction, Solution-Focused, Psycho dynamic, Family Systems, Structural, Trauma-Informed, Gestalt and Mindfulness.
My goal is to provide you with the greatest fit possible for therapy. I offer all my first sessions free because I am extremely passionate in what I do. I believe in providing an accessible mental health platform and a safe healing space, as I myself have lived experiences that inspired me to pursue my field and showed me the importance of truly safe space.
