Life can feel overwhelming at times, and reaching out for support is a true sign of strength and courage. If you're feeling anxious, depressed, low, or stuck, or moving through grief or life challenges, you're not alone. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions at your own pace. We will work together toward healing and meaningful growth.
As a Registered Psychotherapist, I draw on mindfulness-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Having also lived as a Buddhist monk, I bring compassion and insight to the therapy process—grounded in presence, purpose, and self-awareness. If you’re open, we can also explore your spiritual/religious beliefs within therapy.
It’s a privilege to support individuals through life’s challenges. I’m here to walk alongside you as you build resilience, explore new possibilities, and reconnect with your inner strength to improve your overall health and wellbeing. I’m currently accepting new clients and would be grateful to work with you.
