Welcome to the first step towards making a meaningful change in your life. Do you feel stuck, confused, or lost? Are you experiencing relational issues with your partner, family, or friends? Struggling to regulate your emotions or feeling self-conscious? Perhaps you're hesitant to start conversations? If so, you're in the right place to begin. I'm here to assist you in navigating a new path—one that not only increases your awareness of current patterns but also fosters lasting change, illuminating new possibilities in your life.
I approach my clinical practice through an anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed lens. I customize my approach and interventions according to each client's individual needs. My practice draws from various modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical-Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Schema Therapy.
I recognize the courage it takes to seek therapy. It's a vulnerable journey, and I want to honour that. Together, we'll gradually build a foundation of trust. I'll leave you with one of my favourite quotes by Carl Jung, "I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become".
