I believe each one of us is unique and each of us has a specific purpose in this life. I also believe in meeting each person exactly where they are in their journey with integrity, compassion, kindness, active listening and unconditional positive regard.

My areas of specialization and exploration:

• Relationships
• Personal Boundaries
• Self-Esteem and Self-Worth
• Difficulty trusting & difficulty being real
• Over-responsibility for others & neglect of own needs
• Understanding emotions & feelings and how to process them
• Inner Child/Vulnerable Self healing and integration
• Fears, Anxiety and Depression
• Core Issues – issues that come up repeatedly and interfere with our day-to-day functioning (inner life and external life – relationships with family, friends, colleagues etc.)

My approach is client-centered. Along with conventional talk therapy, I may include the following techniques/modalities based on your unique needs and goals:

• CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
• DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy)
• MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy)
• Gestalt Therapy
• Inner Critic/Subpersonalities/Parts work
• Inner Child work
• Attachment Styles
• IFS (Internal Family System)
• Mindfulness & Guided Visualization
• Transactional Analysis
• Somatic Therapy

You can expect a safe, non-judgmental, confidential and inclusive environment. You can expect my presence, my integrity, compassion and unconditional positive regard.

Psychotherapy and counselling can help you understand the various ways the underlying issues that can impact how we think, feel and behave. Every aspect of our lives affects each other and finding solutions and fulfillment in one area can positively affect other areas and initiate change and transformation in a flawless way.

We will work together to enable you to recognize and identify patterns of behavior that can pose problems in managing difficult situations and relating effectively to others. We can also work together in creating a step-by-step plan to support you in getting from where you are to where you want to be, in embracing your unique qualities and strengths that you have, in addressing any challenges you are currently facing in your daily life.
