My Approach to Therapy

I provide a safe and judgment-free space to individuals, couples, and families via online therapy sessions. I use a variety of evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, experiential and humanistic therapy, somatic therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and systemic and collaborative therapy. When you’re struggling with negative emotions and intrusive thoughts, or just trying to understand yourself or others better, it can be hard to know what is needed to thrive. Plus, in today's world, many competing priorities lead to feeling overwhelmed resulting in a life that doesn't inspire passion, confidence, or peace. If you want to explore and process your experience with overwhelm and learn how to grow within yourself and live in passion, confidence, and peace, please feel free to schedule a 15-20 minute free consult.

How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist

My journey into therapy began during a challenging time in my life when my husband was diagnosed with cancer. It was during this period that I learned the importance of building my own circle of care to battle self-doubt and anxiety, build confidence and resilience and find my passion without guilt. Therapy provided me with a space where I could explore and process my thoughts, feelings, moods, and behaviours, many of which were negatively impacting my daily life, relationships, and ability to enjoy life. Through this experience, I found the courage to navigate the challenges I was facing and help my husband gain his strength back. Please book a consultation to see if I can be a part of your circle of care.
