My Approach to Helping
I support people in appreciating their inherent strengths and in cultivating a deep understanding of the meaning behind their emotions. We can explore how your upbringing and life experience have shaped how you experience yourself, your relationships, and the world.
My approach also involves supporting you in getting in touch with your values, what matters most to you, and to move toward building a life and relationships that are satisfying and fulfilling.
My goal is to help you create new ways of compassionately understanding your emotional landscape so you can feel connected to yourself more fully. If you would like to begin your journey with me, please reach out for a consultation.

My Role as a Therapist
As a therapist, I want to support you in making meaningful strides toward the goals you bring to therapy, and more generally to your life and relationships. I also believe that an important part of meaningful therapy is noticing and discovering what is already adaptive, healthy, and good inside of you.
My Therapy Focus
My therapeutic approach is grounded in cognitive behaviour therapy imbued with the compassion and encouragement of person centered therapy. Through cultivating awareness of patterns in our thoughts and beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world, we can begin to examine them with curiosity and self-compassion.
I also support clients in exploring their relationship with emotions, including what messages they received from others during their upbringing and life experiences about what emotions were "acceptable" and which emotions were "unwelcome". I supporting clients in cultivating a new relationship with emotions, one where they come to view emotions as containing important information about their needs, wants, and boundaries rather than a source of distress or overwhelm.
