Life, with its ups and downs, twists and turns, can be complex as you struggle to find your footing. My journey through life in the past years has exposed me to human vulnerability. Trust me, I have been there, and that is why I am ready to take a holistic approach first as a human without being biased, but full of empathy and trust as we walk together to discover the best version of you. I collaborate with individuals with anxiety, depression, and trauma using interventions such as Cognitive behavioral therapy, Solution Focused Based therapy, Emotion Focused therapy, and Narrative therapy to provide the space to safely heal.

When one individual tries to solve multiple problems at the same time, things can easily get overwhelming. My sessions focus on helping my clients narrow down their problems to manageable goals, help them detangle their thoughts and gain clarity on their situation. I help them manage overwhelming emotions, such as anxiety, guilt and shame, and gain a sense of direction when dealing with life transitions. My approach helps my clients focus on parts of their problem that are within their control, while making sure that these changes have a trickle effect on aspects they want to change, but have no control over.

PTSD or Trauma related to stressful life changes, psychological / emotional / physical childhood abuse, neglect, rejection, abandonment, exploitation, sexual abuse, incest or witnessing family violence could result in experiencing distorted perceptions, emotions, beliefs and meanings about life. Trauma freezes the traumatic experience in the nervous system creating unhelpful thinking, negative self-assessment, and self-defeating / self-sacrificing behaviours. These conditions can affect your capacity to tolerate and adapt to life's ups and downs; to break old patterns that hold you back; to avoid engaging in risky behaviours/situations; and to avoid re-enacting your past traumas over and over.

I guide you toward healing through the art of conversation. Many therapists consider themselves to be just that: therapists. For me, therapy is a form of art.

I strive to offer a peaceful environment where we can slow down and unpack difficult experiences together.

Hello! Do you feel panic or have moods that you struggle to control and seem to intrude at the worst possible times? Like when you're trying to sleep? Or when you're talking to someone new? Maybe it's when you're at work talking to your boss or peers? Do you feel guilt, anger, sadness, or maybe have feelings of uneasiness you struggle to name? Are your relationships struggling because of these symptoms? Do you isolate? Symptoms from traumas are often overlooked or misdiagnosed completely because we don't identify these life experiences as trauma. What if these issues that prevent you from achieving your optimum well-being were gone?
