Approach to Counseling

I am a heart-centred therapist who draws from my professional training to work with people to achieve growth and navigate a personal journey of which they can be proud. I believe that everyone deserves to be seen and their story heard with care and compassion.

As a therapist, I create a safe space where people are embraced, with all their complexities. Clients are listened to and believed in a genuine and heartfelt manner. Using proven therapeutic techniques, I work with clients to explore challenges, uncover blocks, address trauma and chart pathways towards personal growth and renewal.

My practice offers strategies and techniques that address issues, including family patterns, unconscious beliefs, relationship dynamics, limiting beliefs and intergenerational trauma. Goals setting is often used so individuals can work towards milestones that are meaningful to them. My sessions are customized to each person's objectives and navigated at their own pace.

As a therapeutic counsellor, I recognize that personal growth is rarely linear. Twists and turns are accepted as part of one's journey and worked through together. While therapy can take work, the process is oriented toward achieving both gratifying and sustainable outcomes.
