I believe that our healing begins with both safety and
support. As a therapist, I strive to provide a nurturing environment where you
can feel accepted and empowered to explore your stories and experiences. My
journey towards becoming a psychotherapist began with my own mental health
struggles relating to trauma and addiction. Those experiences of recovery and
healing helped me discover the healing power of relationships. I work with
individuals aged 14+ and couples and offer a free 15-minute consultation to
ensure I am the proper fit for your journey.
I’ve always been drawn to people and supporting others. I completed
my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Biological and Medical Sciences,
intending to explore the field of medicine. That background provided me with a
strong understanding of the human body, the connection between the mental,
physical, and relational wellbeing. My journey led me to acquiring a diploma as
an Addiction Care Worker. During that time, I gained a more profound
understanding of adversity, coping, trauma and resiliency. My pursuit for
knowledge, curiosity and desire to improve my care for clients has led me to
continued education in the areas of emotions, trauma, and relationships.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in honouring your
journey, courage, strength, and resiliency. My personal experiences help me in
providing a safe and supportive space for my clients where your authenticity is
valued, and exploration is encouraged. My curiosity leads me to seek
understanding of your story and I am passionate about helping you discover your
internal strength and resiliency to help you strive for your goals. I view the
therapeutic relationship as a partnership, one of shared wisdom where my
supportive approach provides you with a relationship to help foster healing and
growth.
I offer free 15-minute consultation to ensure you feel I am
a good fit for your journey. I look forward to connecting with you soon.
