Health and well-being have been a central tenet of my life for over a decade now. My history as a health care professional has informed my counselling in that I believe any challenge we encounter will see impacts in our emotions, our thoughts, and our physical body. By tuning into all three, we can turn signs of distress into sources of insight, and as resources for self-soothing and emotional management. To that end, EMDR is my preferred approach for assisting clients in facing and moving through traumas big and small, integrated with elements of mindfulness, self-compassion, skill-building, and role-play techniques.
If you’re here, it’s probably because you’ve identified something in your life you aren’t satisfied with and you’re ready to try something new. I enjoy working with individuals from all ages, cultures, genders and sexuality, and my areas of focus are on trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, identity, meaning generation, and managing chronic pain.
When things are going wrong, change can sometimes feel impossible. However, by looking for help, you have initiated a process that can transform your life. It's possible to feel, think, and react differently, and you don't have to struggle towards change alone. Contact me for a free consultation, and discover if I am the right therapist for you.
