Psychology focuses on understanding our emotions, thoughts, and behaviours and making sense of our past, present, and future to understand more about why we are the way we are, but also to help shape growth into the type of life we want to live. Working with a psychologist means you will have the chance to learn more about yourself, understand long-standing patterns of thinking, feeling, or acting, and take charge of your future. I draw from approaches including CBT, ACT, EFT and EMDR to help customize a plan that supports your unique goals. You can expect to leave each session with new insights or new ideas to put into practice to help you feel better and live life more fully outside of therapy sessions.

There are many ways to find an adequate solution to a problem, but the point of working with a psychologist is to have these ideas tailored to your personality.

Everyday life presents us with different challenges, and not all challenges are easy to overcome.

I want to provide you with that safe environment and give you the necessary support to deal with challenges you face. I want to give you time and space to share with me your thoughts, emotions, needs, desires, struggles, and questions.

I have been registered as a psychologist for the past 11 years, and have undergone training in a variety of counselling methods with many different types of clients.
