I believe that owning our story is one of the bravest things we can do. It takes an immense amount of courage to face the parts of ourselves that feel heavy, overwhelming, or painful. If you are reading this, you have already taken the first difficult step and opened yourself to the possibility of change. I offer a place of compassion and encouragement for you to explore your story so that you can live a more wholehearted life that aligns with your values, wants, needs, and desires.

Background

My style can be described as calm, collaborative, and gently challenging. Together we will create a space where you feel safe to express yourself while being encouraged toward meaningful change. I take an integrative approach to therapy, adapting each session to your needs, pace, and goals. I draw from person-centered and humanistic perspectives as well as various evidence-based models such as Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, EFT, and IFS. My educational background in neuroscience also allows me to combine evidence-based psychological tools with an understanding of the biological foundations of human behaviour, providing a well-rounded approach to healing and growth.

Your therapeutic experience with me

I am continually inspired by the courage people show when they take that first step toward change, and I would consider it a privilege to walk alongside you in your healing journey. After all, we’re all just stories in the end, and together we will embrace its fullness - the struggles, the triumphs, and everything in between. If you’re ready to explore your story and create new possibilities, I’m honoured to walk that path with you.
