At the foundation of my therapy practice is the creation of a safe space for my clients to be seen without fear of criticism or judgment. My approach balances gentle challenging with compassion. I use a holistic, integrative approach to counselling that is evidence-based and trauma-informed. I draw upon humanistic, experiential, cognitive and behavioural modalities and tailor the experience to specific therapeutic goals which are crafted in collaboration during the initial sessions. 

Once the therapeutic goals are established, my approach is built upon three pillars: awareness, acceptance, and action. During the sessions, we explore your symptom presentation, the root causes of these symptoms including the intersectionality between the past and the present, triggers, patterns, and core beliefs about yourself and the world. Together, we work towards easing your symptoms by breaking patterns which no longer serve you, shifting your internal dialogue, and shaping new beliefs and a vision of the life you want to lead. To do so, we will learn new behavioural activation techniques to change unwanted behaviours and habits, learn how to stay grounded and present through mindfulness practices, and connect to your self-compassion as we embrace radical acceptance of the present, including the pain and challenges we experience as humans.
