My expertise lies in developing a strong self-concept, managing relationships , overcoming stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as working through existential crises - from finding your purpose to dealing with grief to exercising your freedom.
Living life to the fullest potential is a choice we make each day. But sometimes, this decision is difficult to honour. You may have found yourself in a tricky situation where you must adopt a new perspective. You could be facing an unprecedented circumstance that demands your growth. Or you could simply be struggling to find meaning in your day-to-day experiences. In these moments, a reminder may be all that you need.

Do you feel existential angst or anxiety? Has trauma interfered with your ability to function? Many of us need to explore the depths of our conscious and unconscious mind in order to uncover and try to resolve issues affecting your life. This will help you not only get insight on your past, but will help influence your present as you seek to end negative patterns in your life and foster personal growth and emotional healing. Explore unconscious patterns, relationship dynamics and try to gain emotional insight. I will work with you to increase your conscious awareness of things holding you back.

I've worked with individuals regarding stress, abusive relationships; separation/breakups; depression; perfectionism; anxiety; self-esteem; identity; communication; assertiveness; self-care; decision-making; existential concerns; religious trauma; student concerns; life balance; workplace bullying, etc.
I provide a non-judgmental, confidential, responsive space to process, gain insight, knowledge and strategies, and work towards resolution. Using an integrative, client-centered approach, with elements of Narrative Therapy, CBT, EFT, etc., I primarily work through the exploration of relationship dynamics and patterns, addressing attachment wounds, and using a focus on emotions and cognition. Perhaps you are dissatisfied with your relationships, or are not getting along with a family member or co-worker, are feeling alone or stressed? Compassion and empathy based, I encourage self-compassion, self-acceptance and authentic self-expression.

I also have specific training and interest in spiritual and existential crises (both religious and non-religious).
We are all on a path of healing and discovery that leads, eventually and inevitably, to the realization of our true potential. I see psychotherapy as a powerful companion on this journey - it is a helpful friend that can help ease the burden during dark times, and it is a ray of light that can guide us more quickly beyond our own limitations when we are moving towards a goal. My practice is based in modern cognitive therapy and the neuroscience of trauma, while always anchored in the wisdom of mindfulness, acceptance and nondual awareness.

My theoretical approach is eclectic using techniques of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person Centered, Existential, Mindfulness Self Compassion, Narrative and Solution Focused Therapies.
If your thoughts, actions, and emotions have formed a mental ‘block’ keeping you back, you are not alone. Many individuals have these concerns as a result of a trauma, stress, fear, or are heightened by anxiety, shame, betrayal, or other mental health issues. You want to address these issues using proven psychotherapeutic methods as provided by a registered mental health professional. This would be supported through a therapeutic relationship with the professional where client feelings will be validated and they can share their thoughts and concerns through trust in a safe environment free of judgement, criticism, fear, or disdain.

I take a collaborative and existential approach to support clients identify layers of conditioning and false beliefs that inhibit the embodiment of one’s True Self.
As a student therapist I am interested in helping individuals navigate the complexities of being a human in their own individual experiences holding a sacred and respectful space for all that arises while working together. I firmly believe that every person is shaped by their environment and that everyone enters this world with a unique purpose and inherently good intentions. It is through the human condition that trauma arises by way of experiences which can sometimes lead people away from their path of self-actualization. In each session clients are reminded of whole self, to guide them on their journey to acceptance and healing.

I am trained both in Canada and overseas with a focus on humanistic, existential and spiritual theories on human functioning.
You might be looking to increase psychological fitness, or make sense of past wounds, or make a change in your present way of being in the world – I offer a safe, non judgmental and supportive space to facilitate your healing. My work is to help you experience who you truly are, harness your personal strength and overcome your challenges. I work with a firm belief in the resilience of the human spirit and this belief is supported by a solid educational base, a multi-cultural variety of life experience, and a range of counselling skills and tools that makes it possible for me to meet your individual needs.

The anchor of my work is Gestalt therapy, which has a strong relational, somatic and existential lens.
It takes courage to reach out for support when not knowing what to do. That can be quite a lonely and painful experience, together with feeling disconnected, stuck and overwhelmed. You can get a better understanding of your feelings and behaviors, see how you are entrenched in your own patterns or how you get in your own way, process past experiences and just talk about heavy stuff without feeling like a burden. This work can bring you closer to understanding and experiencing your authentic self.

Hi There! Life doesn't have to be full of grudges, anxiety, anger and grief all the time; or perhaps just passing by because of poor relationships and traumatic experiences that control us. I believe in our inner strength and am passionate about personal growth and healing. I think that we are all strong enough to move forward in our journey of healing, self-discovery and personal growth. I believe our first instinct as human beings is to seek contact and comforting connection.

How does existential therapy work?
Existential therapy focuses on a patient’s inner experiences. The therapist tries to help the individual comprehend and alleviate symptoms by exploring their interior life. By confronting negative disquiet and emotions, the individual will hopefully become more open to finding meaning and purpose. This therapy can be administered to individuals or groups.
Is existential therapy evidence-based?
Existential therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has determined that existential therapy can lead to significant improvement in the mental health of patients, and for some people it can be just as effective as cognitive behavioural therapy. The benefits of existential therapy are enduring, even long after treatment has ended.
How long does existential therapy last?
The goal of existential therapy is to understand a person’s internal experiences, which may sound like a lengthy process, but it does not have to be so in-depth. However, sessions are not short-term, and therapy can continue for months or up to a year. And because patients learn the theory behind existential therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.
Is existential therapy effective?
According to research, many patients find success with existential therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in improving feelings of isolation, feelings of purposelessness, as well as conditions such as anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can persist even after the end of existential therapy, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve developed during treatment.
