Registered Psychotherapist
“He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.” -Friedrich Nietzsche.
Life is challenging. People often seek therapy in its most challenging moments. As your therapist, I will not only provide support, but help you derive meaning from these challenges
My approach is exploratory. While the therapeutic process surfaces difficult emotions and thoughts, they become more manageable with curiosity, compassion, humour, and acceptance. I stand alongside clients as they voyage into the depths of themselves – introspection is easier with a nonjudgmental teammate.
At its core, therapy is human-to-human connection. In fact, research shows that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the most significant predictor of positive outcomes in therapy. I use the therapeutic relationship to foster vulnerability, openness, empathy, insight, and ultimately growth.
Therapy is an individualized and varied experience, and as such, my therapy is tailored to you. I draw from several different modalities, including acceptance and commitment therapy, existential-humanistic therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions. I employ these frameworks to help locate the healing power that already exists within.
Let’s embark on the journey together!
