I am very passionate about my counselling work and feel inspired by the counselling process, my client’s courage, resilience and strengths. I take an integrative approach, drawing from multiple evidence-based modalities and tailor therapy according to each client’s unique needs, goals and preferences. I have broad experience working with clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, relationship/pre-marital and marital issues, parenting challenges (including transition into parenthood and post-partum issues), stress management, multicultural issues, grief, work/life balance, and major life transitions.
For me, counselling is a collaborative approach. I believe in the importance of meeting clients where they are and helping them get to where they want to be in their lives. I help clients identify the barriers and what is keeping them “stuck”, identify the steps and tools they need to move forward, and get them to reach their goals.
Counselling is a relationship built on trust. I focus on creating a compassionate and supportive environment. I value diversity and appreciate each client’s uniqueness and enjoy working with clients from different ages, cultures and life experiences. I work with youth, individuals, couples and families.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel met where they are and supported in moving towards meaningful change. Together, we work to identify barriers that may be keeping you feeling stuck, explore what is getting in the way of your goals, and develop practical tools to help you move forward. I aim to encourage your growth and progress while supporting you in reconnecting with yourself.
