I believe that warmth, positive regard, and acceptance are important to find the insights and tools for an important change in our lives. It is important for me to build a therapeutic relationship with genuineness and work together to enhance self-awareness and self-compassion. I prioritize allowing each person the agency to adapt techniques to their individual experiences or needs. I have a strong interest in individuals and the impact of society, culture on the development of personality. My passion for mental health, advocacy, and counselling has guided my practice and work through trauma to find strength and resilience.

I specialize in working with interpersonal relationships, emotion regulation, anxiety, depression, and grief. Together we can work on strengthening self-awareness and insight by uncovering the underlying causes of the current stressors and challenges that you may be experiencing. My practice is primarily focused on CBT, mindfulness-based and psychodynamic approaches, in addition to drama therapy. I aim to integrate playfulness and creativity when appropriate as I believe it creates a safe space in which we could explore difficult subjects beyond mere rationalization and mentalization.

The quality of our interpersonal relationships plays a crucial role in our daily well-being and functioning. A sense of belonging within our intimate relationships and community is a fundamental human need. This deep-seated interest has led me to specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families for the past 10 years. Throughout my career, I have developed an open and dynamic understanding of individual, relational, and social issues, which I consider inseparable.

I believe in the human being and his or her capacity to re-build. I find that there is nothing more important than a willingness to develop compassion for oneself and one's situation. For me, the therapy is a place to reconnect with emotions, and begin a very important journey within the supportive therapeutic relationship.

Grief can show up in our lives through a variety of lived experiences. Loss of a family member, pet or a close friend can bring up feelings of grief but so can significant personal growth, completing an educational program, becoming a parent or caretaker and/or changing careers. You may be wondering... Who am I now? and... How do I find meaning in this role? It may feel difficult to connect to your joy and you may find it difficult to cope with the changes in your life . Wanting to feel engaged in your life and connected to others is normal and not being sure where to start can feel challenging in the midst of grieving past roles.
