Most people just want to be happy. While that can certainly be achieved through counselling, I believe happiness is an emotion, like others, that comes and goes. Instead I work with you to create more peace, joy and fulfilment in your life. These are deeper long-lasting goals that are the foundation of life satisfaction. Over and above the specific concern you wish to work on, I aim to help you connect with who you really are as a person and facilitate the path to who you would like to be.

If you often feel overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected, feel like you're carrying the weight of stress, trauma, or emotional exhaustion, you’re in the right place. You may function well outwardly but feel anxious, burnt out, or numb inside. You're seeking more than just talk therapy. You want to feel safe in your body, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with yourself. We can do this by breaking old patterns, building self-trust, and living with more ease, authenticity, and inner peace.

I work with clients across the lifespan, including children, teenagers, university students, & adults supporting them through life transitions, identity exploration, and challenges related to spirituality, relationships, and personal growth.
As a qualified Counselling Psychologist, I believe therapy to be a space where healing meets possibility - a place where the parts of your story that are often left in the footnotes are brought to the center, seen, and honored. I aim to create a space that is culturally attuned, socially conscious, and responsive - where every aspect of your identity is recognized and valued. For me, therapy is about exploring your inner world and the social contexts that shape your experiences, gaining clarity, insight, and moving toward growth, resilience, and wholeness.

Do I need to attend therapy with my child?

Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.

How long are sessions with child therapists?

Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.

How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?

The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.

How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?

A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
