About Me
Life events such as trauma and illness inspired me to become a psychotherapist. My experience has taught me that unexpected circumstances are opportunities for self-discovery and growth. I believe that by tapping into our inner strengths and developing ways to handle life’s challenges can help each of us not only survive but blossom at any age, through any circumstance and restore a sense of wellbeing.
I work across all ages and situations, such as adolescence, career growth and change, postpartum events, relationship discord, and stage of life transitions. Be it a significant event or common stressors that impact the enjoyment of everyday living, I strongly believe that we all can apply our unique strengths and adopt routines to support our needs and further our goals.
A good therapeutic relationship is key to feeling comfortable in counselling. While psychotherapy can include a variety of evidence-based treatment approaches, finding a therapist that is the right fit for your style and needs is very important. Research shows that the client-counsellor rapport can be just as therapeutic as the type of therapy. Clients can expect a friendly, calm person working with curiosity, respect and openness. I am here to listen to you without judgment and with a genuine desire to support your growth and wellbeing.
To maintain a healthy life balance, I enjoy spending time with family, friends and the outdoors. Hiking and kayaking are the hobbies that energize me as nature is a replenishing place for my spirit. Yoga and meditation are mindfulness routines that contribute to my overall wellbeing.
