Hello! It takes great courage to reach out and ask for help. It is my aim to provide a caring and safe environment so you can explore and receive that support.
I work with a wide variety of issues that you may be experiencing. Some of these issues include: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, self-esteem, Relationship issues, Grief, and Codependency.
Some of the approaches I use include: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Use of Somatic Experiencing, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I will also blend elements from different approaches and tailor these therapies to meet your needs.
It is my goal to support you toward health and wholeness and to understand your unique and intrinsic worth. There are many areas in our lives that we sometimes feel stuck, or struggle to get a “handle on it”. It is my aim to help you develop ways to navigate through. You’re not alone in how you feel.
To personally maintain my own health and wellness, I love to travel, hiking, camping, walking my dogs Lexi and Ruby and explore all kinds of culturally diverse foods.
It is very important to feel you are heard, valued and understood by your Therapist. I would be happy to talk about your hopes for therapy and how we can work together. Please feel free to contact me for more details to see if we are a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!
