I incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and Solution-Focused Therapy, but most importantly, I individualize my approach with your feedback to help you work through the concerns that brought you here.
In our journey of life, we may encounter experiences, emotions, and patterns that make it challenging for us to feel a sense of fulfillment in life. Participating in counselling can help you navigate and process these challenges, either from the past or present moment, constructively and build a more meaningful and satisfying life with new coping strategies and skills, insight and self-awareness, and changes in behaviours/environment through in-depth exploration of self. We are all work in progress, and although it can be daunting to begin this process, it can help you find that inner spark to change how you feel about your life.

My therapeutic approach: mindfulness self-compassion, positive psychology & body-centered psychotherapy.
Counselling together can support your journey towards becoming a heart-empowered individual by expressing the unexpressed & by shedding layers covering the truth of who you are. Slowing down + listening to the wisdom of the heart + interpreting our body signals as it speaks to us is vital to bringing balance in our lives. When we align with our heart’s intuitive guidance, we lighten our being and manifest a bridge to infinite possibilities.

We offer narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, somatic therapy, mindfulness, and secular Buddhist psychology.
We all have things we’ve been told about ourselves that we internalize and start telling ourselves. Do you struggle with a story or belief about yourself that holds you back? Does this cause you some stress, loneliness, conflict in your relationships, or even lead you into misusing alcohol or substances? Now, more than ever, a lot of us are feeling disconnected from others and under the spell of negative stories about ourselves. In my practice, my team and I believe that these stories can be rewritten, that we are each the author of our own lives.
