About me

As an experienced Integrative Counsellor, I offer a holistic and flexible approach to therapy that tailors techniques to suit each individual’s unique needs. My practice is rooted in the belief that every person has the capacity for growth, and my role is to support and empower clients to achieve greater well-being, emotional balance, and self-understanding.

Drawing on a wide range of therapeutic models, including person-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic, and Gestalt, I integrate these methods in a compassionate, practical, and tailored way to your challenges. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, or stress, I work with you to explore underlying patterns and find sustainable ways forward.

I am a Counsellor and Psychotherapist who practices in person and online. I am also a mindfulness practitioner. I give one-on-one time to my clients who want to use their mind and body's self-healing resources to alleviate trauma and balance their natural flow and daily life. 

The combinations allow you to attain presence beyond everyday distractions and let your soul shine through. On your journey, you will discover authenticity and reconnect with your deepest self. Allow me to walk with you to find more contentment and calmness and to attain meaning in your life. 

I also work with clients looking to enhance their self-reflective skills, attain more insight into how our background impacts us, and gain perspective into how to make our future more regulated and calm—trauma-informed, Sexual Trauma, childhood trauma.
