Rooted in empathy, authenticity, and non-judgment, I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where individuals can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I believe that healing is a collaborative process, and my role is to support each client on their journey toward growth, self-discovery, and lasting change.

My approach is client-centered, strengths-based, and respect-focused, with a strong emphasis on trauma-informed practice. I prioritize creating a therapeutic environment that ensures safety, empowerment, and trust, meeting each individual where they are. I draw from a variety of modalities, including person-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gestalt therapy, somatic practices, and mindfulness, tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each person. I remain flexible and adaptable, ensuring the tools and techniques used align with each client’s therapeutic goals and values.

I focus on highlighting and fostering the inherent strengths of each person, encouraging resilience, self-compassion, and personal empowerment. Above all, I am committed to providing a compassionate, inclusive, and respectful space where healing can unfold at its own pace.

My approach to counselling is collaborative and I consider clients to be co-creators of our therapeutic work. I practice within a person-centered approach and may utilize elements of CBT, systemic therapy, and mindfulness as we collaborate to find a good fit for achieving your goals. I have experience working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, interpersonal or relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, as well as everyday stresses and challenges.

As a counsellor, I aim to create an environment where you feel safe and comfortable to share any aspects about your identity, your life, beliefs or perspectives that feel right. I see you as the expert in your life, and I walk alongside you to assist you in reaching the goals you have for yourself.
