My therapeutic approach

Making the decision to seek therapy often comes after the recognition that we do not have to do this alone. I am dedicated to providing a non-judgmental approach, deep listening and kind attention, giving you the space to process hard feelings or simply to just be and be heard. I’m rooted in a strengths-based perspective that helps individuals access their inner wisdom, developing a more intimate relationship with themselves and their self-worth.

At the center of my approach is the therapeutic relationship, building genuine connection with my clients, honouring each person’s agency and holding a supportive space. I believe that we can access more peace in our present experiences through acceptance, commitment and compassion. I work collaboratively with you, checking in every step of the way. My style has been described as warm, empathetic and down to earth.

My theoretical framework is grounded in trauma-informed mindfulness practices, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), adapting to what is most supportive for each unique individual. I enjoy incorporating meditation and body awareness practices in our work, drawing from my experience cultivating the mind-body connection as a Yoga teacher.

    The first step is to book a free 15-minute consultation where I can learn more about your needs and you can get a feel for my relational style.

    If it feels like a good fit, we book our first session where I will facilitate a comprehensive assessment and we collaborate on your goal(s) for therapy. This will guide the direction of our following sessions and frequency. I often see clients on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. There is flexibility based on your needs and goals.
