WHY I CARE

I have a passion for genuine encounters, rather than the mask we present to the world. I am an empath by nature and became a therapist like others in my field, because I had my own struggles. With self-discovery and developing internal coping strategies came healing. Since, it has been my passion to continue to better myself and help people do the same.

COUNSELLING PHILOSOPHY

I believe that we are all driven to become healthier and happier but roadblocks get in the way of our full potential. My role is to help you explore what is preventing you from being your best self. This provides you with the power to act differently and change your patterns which can improve your life. At the same time, I provide different strategies and knowledge to help you better cope with life challenges.

APPROACH

I take a relational trauma-informed approach with my clients. Some theories that inform my practice are Developmental Psychology, Psychodynamic, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
