Life can be difficult and it takes resilience to work through challenging experiences. Part of your resilience may include reaching out for support. Psychotherapy can help facilitate new perspectives about the challenges we face and our ability to navigate unsettling life events and emotional states. It can support our capacity to make sense of suffering with increased compassion and acceptance and, ultimately, live with more ease and joy.

With more than 10 years of experience in psychotherapy and counselling, I have been working with adults and young adults who are struggling with their feelings, relationships or even life. At times, we may get stuck, feel overwhelmed or even lost. In face of these challenges, it is not uncommon to run away from them, or fight so hard trying to get rid of them. More often than not, neither way leads to a peaceful mind. I am here to walk with you in these struggles, work with you to navigate in a direction which aligns more with your values and leads to a more peaceful, meaningful and satisfying life.

I believe that each person has the ability to improve their life; to become closer to who they want to be. No problem is too difficult to face with the right kind of support. Many people are suffering on their own or feeling stuck in patterns that keep them from having the life they want. Counselling can change this.
