Free 30 Minute Initial Consultation

As a committed counsellor, I equip clients with evidence-based strategies to foster personal growth. I cultivate an environment of trust and inclusivity, offering a secure space for everyone. Everyone has different struggles, but as human beings we have a common desire to better connect with ourselves and others, and become more present and engaged with our lives. I believe that good counselling can help clients achieve insight, connection, and freedom from their personal struggles.

What I can help you with:

Couples Counselling: I specialize in Gottman Couples Therapy, providing expert guidance to couples looking to improve their relationships, enhance communication, and resolve issues.
Relationship Enhancement: Whether you're seeking to strengthen your bond with a partner or repair a strained relationship, I offer effective strategies and tools to help you achieve your relationship goals.
Effective Communication: I teach valuable communication skills that can improve your interactions with loved ones, colleagues, and friends, enabling more meaningful and productive conversations.
Resolving Gridlocked Issues: With my assistance, you can work through and overcome persistent problems that have been causing friction in your relationships.
Personal Growth: My counselling services can also support individual personal growth, helping you develop self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and resilience.
Creating a Safe Space: I foster a welcoming and inclusive environment, ensuring that clients of all backgrounds can openly discuss matters related to their relationships, including those related to race, culture, and discrimination, without judgment.
Trust and Acceptance: Building trust is fundamental in counselling, and I'm committed to creating a space where clients can feel unconditionally accepted and supported, regardless of their unique circumstances.

Benefits of therapy when you work with me:

Improved Relationship Satisfaction: Through Gottman Couples Therapy and effective counselling techniques, you can experience greater satisfaction and fulfillment in your relationships.

Strengthened Emotional Intelligence: You'll gain valuable insights into managing your emotions and navigating challenging situations with greater emotional intelligence.
Personal Growth: My counselling services support your personal growth journey, enabling you to become the best version of yourself.
Safe and Inclusive Environment: I create a safe and inclusive space for discussing sensitive topics, including those related to race, culture, and discrimination, allowing for open and nonjudgmental conversations.
Building Trust: Trust is paramount in the therapeutic relationship, and I'm committed to fostering an atmosphere where you feel genuinely accepted and supported, regardless of your individual circumstances.

Overall, therapy can lead to more fulfilling relationships, personal growth, and a greater sense of well-being in your life.

Therapeutic Approach:

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT): EFT is a therapeutic approach that focuses on understanding and regulating emotions. I utilize EFT to help clients explore and manage their feelings, fostering emotional resilience and healthier relationships.
Narrative Therapy: Narrative Therapy involves examining and reshaping the stories we tell ourselves about our lives. I use this approach to empower clients to rewrite their narratives, emphasizing strengths and resilience, and reducing the impact of negative experiences.
Person-Centered Therapy: Person-Centered Therapy, developed by Carl Rogers, emphasizes the importance of empathy, unconditional positive regard, and active listening. I employ this client-centered approach to create a supportive and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment, enabling clients to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace and on their terms.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Mindfulness techniques are integrated to enhance self-awareness, reduce stress, and promote well-being. I guide clients in practicing mindfulness to improve their mental and emotional health.
Gottman Couples Therapy: Utilizing the research-backed Gottman method, I help couples assess their relationships, improve communication, and work through issues to strengthen their bonds and achieve healthier partnerships.
