Throughout our lives we naturally experience ups and downs. These fluctuations in mood may also bring about challenging thoughts and feelings that we hold onto, unsure of how to let them go. I believe that collaboratively working with individuals to explore these thoughts and feelings in a safe, trusting, and non-judgemental environment can help them get where they want to go. In encompassing a person-centered approach to therapy, I believe that you are the expert on your own life. My goal is to help guide and support you on your journey of self-discovery and self-exploration.

Do you struggle to feel connected to your authentic self or make sense of who you are in the world? I have been there, too. Through my own life experiences, and from the work I've done with my courageous clients, I have an understanding of how psychological pain and distress impact every aspect of our daily lives, relationships and self-concept. While the effects of this distress often hold us back in our lives, it can also push us to get the help we need to better understand ourselves. If you are here, looking for those answers, you have already taken the hardest step.

Life's journey often presents us with challenges that can feel overwhelming and persistent. Just as the tide shapes the shoreline, our experiences with trauma, relationships, anxiety, depression, grief, and chronic illness can reshape our sense of self and well-being. I believe in the transformative power of therapy, where even the most consistent patterns can evolve. Using a blend of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, trauma-informed therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I guide my clients through these changes.

Clarity is my hope for each person I see, whether we use Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy, Narrative approaches, EMDR, Mindfulness, yoga, polyvagal theory, or creative arts expression.

Adlerian Counsellors
How does Adlerian psychology work?
In the framework of Adlerian therapy, people are motivated by a sense of belonging and community, which drives them to surmount feelings of inferiority so as to contribute to their society; fulfilling these desires can help people flourish. Adlerian therapy proceeds in four stages—engagement, assessment, insight, and reorientation—in an overall effort to understand the client’s past and to achieve their present-day humanistic goals.
Is Adlerian therapy humanistic?
Yes, Adlerian psychology is humanistic; it focuses on the whole person, emphasises their strengths rather than just their symptoms, and centers them in determining how they can grow and flourish. This school of thought informed the work of Abraham Maslow, who went on to develop humanistic psychology.
How long does Adlerian therapy take?
Adlerian therapy is a short-term, goal-oriented form of therapy that takes around 15 to 20 weekly sessions. Of course, some people may be in therapy for a shorter or longer time frame; length depends on the individual and the problem or condition they wish to treat. Clients can ask their therapist about the timeline for treatment before they begin and check in periodically to ensure that they’re on the same page in terms of progress.
Is Adlerian therapy evidence based?
There is not as much evidence to support the effectiveness of Adlerian therapy as there is for other types of therapy such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. But Adlerian therapy may be the right therapy for some people—whether they’re seeking to treat mental disorders or achieve self-growth—especially those looking for a holistic approach that emphasises relationships, community, self-worth, and purpose.
