Human beings are capable of profound change. We often seek professional counselling supports when we are in the depths of pain or hurt. What we often don't know is that facing the scary part of ourselves brings relief and freedom. Even though it can feel impossible, I know that exploring our feelings and understanding ourselves is much easier then living in suffering. It is my honor to work with people through the difficult parts of themselves and their lives in order to help them get where they want to be.

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.
- Multicultural Therapy Acknowledges the role of culture, race, and identity in mental health. It values diversity and adapts treatment to each person’s background.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: I have training in multiple evidence based approaches, but I tend to utilize a mix of what works with each unique person I sit with. I tend to focus mostly on Emotion-Focused Therapy and Somatic Therapy. My approach supports clients to understand their thought process with cognitive techniques and to help them develop knowledge about and deep connection with their nervous systems in order to improve their symptoms.
