A teacher of mine once said that having even one healthy relationship in your life can act as a protective factor against life's challenges.
My goal is to provide you with a safe and supportive environment in which such a relationship can develop. Holding the belief that all views of reality are valid allows me to offer you a space where validation, respect, acceptance, and compassion are the cornerstones of each interaction.
The ultimate goal, however, is to help you develop this relationship with yourself; to help you be the person your younger self needed so that you become your own source of resilience and power.
Healing is a uniquely individual process, but that does not mean that you have to undertake this journey alone. Whether you are seeking support navigating grief, life changes, stress, relationships, or any other challenge, therapy can be a safe space to explore the transformation from surviving to thriving.
With a background in social service work, I have worked with a diverse array of people, from all different walks of life. My approach is mindfulness-based, trauma-informed, and client-centered, supporting you in realizing your goals and discovering a deeper sense of holistic well-being.
I hold the belief the therapeutic relationship, founded on empathy and non-judgment, can guide the healing journey safely and collaboratively. I look forward to meeting you wherever you are and walking alongside you on your healing journey.
In my corner, it's all about you. I'm not just here to listen; I'm here to understand, to get to the core of what makes your experiences uniquely yours. With a background in teaching English, I've got a knack for getting to the heart of conversations that really matter — especially when the stakes are high, the environment's new, or trust is just starting to bud in fresh relationships.
I’ve gone through the twists and turns of dealing with past traumas. My own story fuels my drive to connect with yours, recognizing the loud and hushed kinds of pain that life throws our way. I'm all ears, ready to journey with you through every shadow and every light of your story. Pain is pain, no matter the size, and it's time to transform that into strength and healing.
Step into my space, and let's make it our collaborative haven. It's designed to be as welcoming as a warm hug, a place where you can shed the weight of your story and start rewriting it with a newfound voice and vigour. We're in this together, and I'm here to empower you to carve out a life that's not just about surviving, but thriving with resilience and joy
