I chose this profession because I genuinely care about people and have a passion for helping individuals navigate life's difficulties. I offer a safe space for those who are bereaved and need to have their grief and loss witnessed, so they could begin the healing journey. I am trained in EMDR therapy, to aid clients in processing challenging emotions and memories, so that they do not have the same intensity. I also use CBT and DBT approaches, as well as mindfulness practices to helping them understand their emotions and invite them to practice coping strategies that meet their needs.

Life is an incredible journey that can be invigorating and magical but can also challenge and knock us off our feet. There are times when we struggle to find the joy in life, to process our emotions and to be overwhelmed by our feelings. It can be challenging to know what is our next step when we are drowning in the stressors of life. It takes incredible courage to recognise when we are struggling, and understand that it takes strength to reach out for support when we have tried everything in our toolbox. My role as your therapist is to understand and meet you where you are at, and support you in your journey of healing.

Lately, have you been feeling less and less like the person you once were? You feel disconnected from the life that used to bring you joy and satisfaction. Perhaps you’ve experienced a dramatic life event or transition that has brought about this change? You’ve moved, ended school, started a new job, or begun a new relationship. Maybe it is more related to the loss of something or someone in your life. Possibly the change has been more subtle and unexplainable, and you just don’t feel like yourself anymore. I can help. I understand that life can throw us curveballs that we are rarely ready for.

As humans it is easy to feel overwhelmed by our thoughts and emotions and manage their impact on our relationships and reaching life goals. Making sense of life and feeling more balanced is possible when working with a therapist you feel connected and comfortable with. My therapy approach is grounded in the values of acceptance, compassion, authenticity, and collaboration.
