Psychotherapy with me offers a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, and Polyvagal-informed approaches, along with CBT- and DBT-informed strategies. Together, we work to calm the nervous system, build emotional awareness, and foster self-compassion. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply, strengthen resilience, and move toward a greater sense of balance and well-being.

In all of the work that I do with clients, there are some primary goals: Promote understanding and eliminate ambiguity. It is only through understanding that we can create comprehensive and meaningful change. I also focus quite heavily on exploring tools and treatment methods with my clients so that they can find their desired change. I incorporate elements of cognitive and behavioural interventions along with a myriad of psychological principles into my psychotherapeutic work.
