ABOUT ME
My passion for mental health has guided my career, fuelling my dedication to understanding the complexities of human thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Through my work, I have seen how the emotional wounds from our past experiences and relationships can shape our current struggles.
I believe my purpose is to help others, and with sensitivity and compassion, support you to help you break free from the chains of the past and guide you to embrace a more fulfilling life.
My approach is tailored to meet your unique and specific needs, ensuring that our dialogue and treatment plan align with your goals.
MY EXPERIENCE
I have worked with a diverse range of populations, including adults facing challenges such as stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, PTSD, and grief and loss.
Also, with extensive experience in the mental health field, I have spent several years supporting young adolescents and their families. My work has included roles in school settings, counselling both primary and secondary school children, as well as university students. Additionally, I have provided support as a volunteer counsellor in the telehealth field.
The foundation of my work is building a strong therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard and understood. I am here to support and empower you on your journey to a more fulfilling and happier life.
MY APPROACH
Taking the first steps toward change requires courage, and if you’re ready to embark on this journey, I am here to support and empower you.
Together we will determine your goals and direction for therapy, and I will provide the tools and guidance to support your growth. I take a strengths-based, solution-focused approach, drawing from various treatment modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My approach also integrates Person-Centred interventions, and elements of the Gottman Method for couples. I am also a certified EMDR practitioner and have helped numerous people reprocess their past traumas.
My goal is to help you shift your thoughts and perspectives to be more empowering while fostering acceptance and readiness for change.
Together, we can work toward helping you to gain a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
