*Accepting New Clients* My approach to therapy is founded on transparency, genuineness and at times humour. I strive to help clients use their innate strength to empower them through current and future life challenges. I offer a free consultation and work with individuals, couples, children, and families. When supporting clients, I place importance on interpersonal relationships. I view many presenting concerns through a systemic perspective, meaning I consider how they may be connected to our relationships and to broader systems. I also seek to examine the relationships we have with ourselves, finding ways to accept and love ourselves for who we are, while working towards who we want to become.

Approach Description: I see therapy as a safe space, free of judgement, where you can express yourself and begin to explore opportunities to cultivate a compassionate relationship with yourself and those around you. My goal as a therapist is to be your companion to help facilitate your internal search and exploration. Together, we will strive to help you make meaningful connections, unveil new understandings and elicit a sense of hope and trust in yourself.
My therapeutic approach is founded in transparency, genuineness, and at times – humour. Having obtained my Master’s degree in Couple & Family Therapy, I work with individuals, youth, couples and families. In my work I am grounded in the importance of relationships. I believe it is important to examine the relationship we have with ourselves and strive to live a life aligned with our goals and values. I also place importance on interpersonal relationships and strive to understand the roles and dynamics of these relationship and how they impact your sense of wellbeing.
As my family and I are immigrants from Bulgaria, I am attuned to how broader systems can impact your experiences of feeling unheard, marginalized, or disempowered. I understand the importance of advocating for and empowering clients to recognize your inherent strengths, while validating your emotional experiences and collaboratively reinterpreting the challenges you face.
Struggles and challenges are unpleasant, yet I believe that ultimately, they make us stronger and I look forward to working with you through your journey.
At Psychotherapy Collective, our online clinic, we strive to help clients live a life aligned with their values. Visit our website, call me, or email me to schedule a free consultation.
