My practice focuses on supporting individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, and the ways past experiences can continue to shape our emotional well-being, relationships, and sense of self. I have a particular interest in trauma therapy, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), to help individuals process distressing experiences and work toward feeling more grounded, connected, and empowered.
I also work with individuals experiencing attachment difficulties, phobias, and interpersonal challenges, with an emphasis on strengthening emotional regulation, developing effective coping strategies, and fostering greater self-awareness and resilience. My approach is collaborative and flexible, drawing on my experience and training to tailor therapy to each individual's unique needs, goals, and pace.
In addition, I support individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges. Together, we explore recurring patterns, underlying emotions, and unmet needs to better understand relationship dynamics and foster healthier communication and deeper connection.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy Based on decades of research, this method gives couples tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen intimacy.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
Approach Description: I draw from cognitive behavioural, relational and trauma based modalities to help tailor sessions to your needs.
