Life feels disappointing. Despite trying your hardest, you cannot figure out how to get things to change. Day-to-day you move between feeling frozen and overwhelmed You struggle to feel good enough and connect to any joy in your life. You catch yourself wondering, will things ever feel ok? You wish to feel fulfilled and connected within your life. My client's have said that therapy with me feels like a warm cup of tea on a cold day. A place to start to feel safe and discover your true self. If this sounds like what you are hoping for, feel free to reach out!
I use a collaborative and holistic approach to counselling. Together, we will figure out the life you want for yourself and what is standing between you and that life. Together we work on moving those barriers aside, processing trauma, and implementing new tools which can help that pain to dissipate, making space for peace, joy, authenticity, and purpose.
Our work can help you to find your authentic self and integrate coping tools that allow you to start feeling better. By working together, we can get you to where you hope to be. Together, we can create a life that you are excited to live. To learn more about my holistic approach or to start your healing journey, head to my website or send me an email.

I help clients understand the root of their issues by not exclusively focusing on the symptoms such as depression and anxiety but also zooming out to understand a holistic perspective of the client's life and life's story. This helps clients to learn new ways of coping, gain insights into their life, and improve their mental health.

People are unique so I pick the type of therapy based on the person and not my preference. My goal is to understand you, your experiences, and the way your brain works and then match that up with therapies that might be helpful for your goals.
