Welcome. I believe that everyone is doing their best at any given moment and that everyone has the ability to heal. Many people I work with are tired of old patterns of behaviours, thoughts and beliefs interfering in their lives. They hold a curiosity about wanting to learn more about their emotions, relationships with others and their inner world. With curiosity and compassion, I support individuals to engage in exploring how such patterns, thoughts and beliefs are held within the body, impacting their relationship with themselves and others. My primary focus is building a trusting relationship with you, empowering you to uncover your innate strength and resilience. You're not alone—let's embark on this journey together.

In my practice, I integrate trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and nervous-system informed interventions to provide holistic support to individuals. I prioritize relational connections and strengths while incorporating anti-oppressive practices to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all clients.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based interventions, guided by principles of collaboration, inclusivity, compassion, curiosity, and courage. By fostering a collaborative therapeutic relationship, I aim to empower individuals to explore their experiences, develop coping strategies, and achieve their goals.
Through a compassionate and non-judgmental stance, I support clients in navigating challenges, processing emotions, and fostering resilience. I believe in honoring each individual's unique experiences and strengths, while also recognizing the impact of systemic and societal factors on their well-being.
My practice is dedicated to creating a space where clients feel heard, valued, and supported on their journey towards healing and growth. Together, we work towards fostering positive change and enhancing overall well-being, one step at a time.
In addition to these principles, I integrate play, choice, and collaboration into my therapeutic approach. Play-based techniques are utilized to facilitate exploration, expression, and healing, promoting emotional regulation and building resilience. Clients are empowered to make decisions about their therapeutic journey and participate actively in the treatment process, fostering a sense of ownership and agency. Collaboration is emphasized, as I work together with clients as equal partners in their healing journey, co-creating a therapeutic plan that reflects their goals, strengths, and values.
Guided by principles of compassion, inclusivity, curiosity, and courage, I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore, grow, and thrive. Together, we navigate challenges, celebrate successes, and cultivate meaningful change, paving the way for a brighter and more fulfilling future.
