We provide an integrative approach to therapy with an emphasis on experiential therapeutic modalities through a neuroscience-informed, connection-focused lens.

We integrate bottom-up and top-down strategies to support each individual's unique nervous system and needs.

Depending on the issues clients present with during a session, sometimes counselling needs to go deeper into the underlying factors contributing to a mental illness diagnosis or relational distress. Psychotherapy is an approach to help clients get progress when previous attempts to address issues have not resulted in the therapeutic transaction a client is looking for in therapy. I work with clients to help them deepen their therapy process and work toward the change they are looking for to improve their life and personal confidence.

One of the most difficult decisions that many of us struggle with is reaching out for help. I will provide you with practical strategies in a supportive and non-judgemental environment.

My approach is rooted in creating a collaborative and empathetic space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I believe in the power of a therapeutic relationship built on trust and respect, serving as a foundation for the transformative process of self-discovery and healing. Drawing from various therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, and Humanistic approaches, I tailor my methods to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual. By fostering a non-judgmental environment, I aim to empower clients to openly express themselves and work towards understanding the underlying factors influencing their behaviours.

Psychotherapy is commonly used for both short-term and long-term therapy to help clients come to a harmonious state of being.

I work hard to ensure that my clients are relaxed, comfortable and safe so that they can feel free to share openly without judgement. I believe in a collaborative approach where the client sets the pace and we work together through various therapeutic techniques (Cognitive-Behavioral, EMDR, Art, books, Family Systems) so that the client can reach the goals they set for themselves in therapy
