You know how some men and women who are people-pleasers struggle with being too busy and always putting others first so they push down their own feelings, needs, and wants, which means they never feel truly seen, heard, known, and loved? Well, what I do is provide a safe space to deepen exploration of themselves by offering humanistic-experiential therapy sessions. This allows my clients to understand themselves better, honour their emotions, needs, and wants, and improve their relationships with others. I work well with clients who are trying to navigate new and different phases of their lives, from adolescence and above, including individual and couple work.

Approach Description: I use an emotion-focused, existential, and client-centred approach that allows me to follow the lead of the client and unpack deep-seated emotions and ways of being. I am able to sit with you in your discomfort and hold the pain you may share with me as well as support and encourage you through your achievements and progressions.
Change is scary and daunting as well as exhilarating and freeing but sometimes it can be tricky to move from one end of the spectrum to the other. I value greatly the vulnerability, strength and resilience that clients show. To witness the change process clients go through in their lives is not only an incredibly humbling experience but an honour.

My approach is grounded on humanistic/experiential and person-centred foundations. This promotes the belief that the client is the expert on their own lives and my job is to help guide their process in uncovering the depths of their person. This is done through experiential tasks and discussion in the therapy session that value the humanity of the client.
