About

Being human means experiencing a wide range of emotions—sometimes conflicting, sometimes overwhelming. Whether you’re navigating life’s highs or facing its lows, I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey. I deeply believe in each person’s inner strength and their capacity to tap into their own resources to create a life that feels purposeful and fulfilling. Whether you're seeking support with relationship challenges, anxiety, stress, career concerns, depression, life transitions, trauma, or self-esteem, I’m here to help you navigate those struggles.

 

My approach to therapy is rooted in a person-centered philosophy, where our work together is collaborative, safe, and empowering. I strive to create an empathetic, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences and work toward your unique goals. Drawing from a blend of therapeutic modalities—including CBT, narrative therapy, trauma-informed care, DBT, and solution-focused strategies—I tailor our approach to what resonates most with you.

 

I understand that starting therapy can feel daunting, so I make it a priority to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and truly heard. Building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust, respect, and unconditional positive regard is essential to me. It would be an honor to accompany you on this transformative journey toward healing and growth

My Story

Although I have always been an advocate for mental health awareness, my experience as a crisis responder is what led me to pursue my master’s in counselling psychology and my dream of becoming a therapist. As a crisis responder, I experienced first-hand the impact that providing a safe and validating space could have for someone in a crisis. Many people do not feel they have someone to confide in and knowing what it is like to suffer in silence, I am committed to being that sounding board for anyone who wants to feel heard by a trusted person. To help you get to know me a bit better, some of my passions outside of work and school include travelling, exercising, reading, watching shows and movies, and spending time with my family and friends.
