If you are going through a difficult time in your life, I am here to help. I want to hear your story, help you identify your strengths, and develop strategies to help you achieve your goals. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is my primary modality for facilitating emotional well-being and reestablishing fulfilling relationships with others in families, couples, and individuals. Rather than pathologizing psychological distresses, such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and self-esteem. I take a warm, client-centered, holistic approach, listening to and comprehending your concerns.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” - Carl Rogers I believe that the first step in moving towards the life you want is to accept yourself and your position as they are. This is not a request to settle, but rather, an invitation to look at the cards you hold. Only after accepting how things are can your next steps be determined. I can provide the space for you to express how difficult things are, while the healing relationship we build together will serve as the vehicle driving change. Seeking support is not easy, and you are stronger than you think by simply taking this first step.

I am a registered psychotherapist, but also a human being. If you don't feel like traditional therapy is for you, then I work with you to find what is. I specialize in: Trauma, PTSD, BPD, CPTSD, anxiety and depression. I am Queer-LGBTQ2S- non-gender conforming. I look at therapy as a path towards healing, with a holistic approach towards health and mental wellness. Trauma-informed expressive therapy is based on bringing what is unconscious to conciousness in a safe way and finding containers that work with you to help you process and unpack in order to heal.

I thrive on navigating my clients through times of emotional distress, depression, anxiety, searching for meaning and purpose, need of connectedness, questioning of identity, values, looking for hope and peace. I feel confident in helping people find inner peace, mental tranquility and emotional calm through counselling and psychotherapy. I believe that a human being who is in search of reducing stress levels, boosting the quality of life, and achieving spiritual and mental sophistication and emotional stability would appreciate guidance and companionship. I would be glad to be at the service of my clients who feel this way.

During the decade I spent working as a social scientist, I heard stories of strength, resilience, and courage. I also heard stories of humiliation, abuse, and grief. Throughout, what I have found most compelling is the storytelling. If you are here and are considering reaching out, I cannot wait to hear your story. My own journey with therapy has led me here. For most of my life, I felt I was walking in the dark, often stumbling and getting hurt. When I began therapy, it felt like someone switched a light on, allowing me to finally see the obstacles I had been running into. My goal is to help each client to turn on their own light.

My hope with all individuals is to provide them with a safe space, that is comfortable & healing. My office is judgment-free & I am here to best support those willing to seek growth & change. What to expect when first seeing me? Relief & hope. I am aware that so many people want to be heard & validated, especially those in difficult relationships. I also believe that people enter therapy feeling stuck. We will shift between your past & present, identifying negative beliefs that continue to challenge you.
