I have Master's Degrees in Clinical Psychology and Counselling. In addition to professional training and experiences in psychotherapy and treatment, behavioral intervention, and neuropsychological assessments, I use my previous PhD and current doctoral studies to supplement my clinical practice using both clinical-scientist and scientist-practitioner models.
I believe that a person has the answers and wisdom within them to solve their issues. I will work collaborativley with you to help you get the life you want. Working together we will get to your answers and then I will support you in achieving your goals. I provide a safe & trusting environment.
I truly believe that each individual is the expert on their life and holds the potential to heal through their inner strength and wisdom to improve the quality of their life. With validation, compassion, and trust in the therapeutic relationship, I can help individuals heal from past trauma and support them in navigating through emotional complexities and life transitions, enhancing their quality of life and well-being.
I am here for those in need, seeking wisdom and guidance with Love and Honesty. I have over three decades of experience in helping people understand their emotions, fears and psychic blocks towards success in relationships as well as personal success in life. Your first step is reaching out to someone, like myself; the second step is the inner work of self discovery, and honest acceptance of past pains and disappointments. Then the work towards change and growth and healing begins.
Offering you a healing space with intelligence and heart. I bring over 30 years of experience working with individuals and groups to you as a counsellor, coach, and family constellations facilitator. My style is warm and empathic, trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, LGBTQ+ friendly, poly-amory friendly, and spiritually aware. I bring a range of modalities to be able to tailor the approach that is right for you.
After over 20 years of struggling with insomnia, I discovered that there IS a safe, long-lasting strategy that's more effective than sleep meds in the long run. It profoundly changed my life. Now my passion in life is helping others reclaim their lives with better sleep.
I understand how lonely and exhausting it can be to live with an eating disorder and body image challenges. I am passionate about supporting my clients to connect with their most empowered self through a safe, curious, and compassionate therapy setting.
Choose me as your therapist, and you're opting for a compassionate guide on your path to personal growth and healing. With a solid foundation in psychology from both Simon Fraser University in Canada and Montfort College in India, along with a rich background in counselling diverse populations, I bring a holistic and collaborative approach to therapy.
Counselling is akin to a mental gym, where we exercise and strengthen your mind. Often, people are unaware of the patterns and thought processes that perpetuate negative emotions and experiences. My mission is to collaborate with you, empowering you not only to conquer your challenges but also to liberate yourself from self-defeating beliefs. Together, we'll embark on a transformative journey, unlocking your full potential and creating a life of fulfillment and positivity.
