I use mindfulness and compassion as my two main approaches.
You may have been feeling stuck or hopeless for a while, and have tried many different things to change your situation. Your issues may be related to low mood, feelings of irritation, depression, anxiety, relationship with food or body image, self-esteem, people pleasing tendencies, procrastination, bullying, feeling lost in relationship or work. You may be coming to therapy for the first time and are a bit unsure, or you may have tried it before and not had much luck. You are curious to see if you can finally find the right therapist who understands what you're going through, and can help provide some relief from your symptoms.

My background in Yoga/Mindfulness teaching enriched my therapeutic practice.
Reaching out for help is a courageous act and can mean that you feel anxious, lost, burnout, ‘not enough’… Therapy could help to reframe the way you think, feel, or behave. I see therapeutic change as the process of exploring, understanding, and most importantly accepting different aspects of the self. This way life can be lived more authentically, meaningfully, and creatively. I provide an empathetic, non-discriminatory, and attentive environment for you to share whatever it is that's on your mind. I believe in healing power of being truly seen, heard, and understood and as a therapist I intend to facilitate it.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Counsellors
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation.
