Your goals in therapy are collaborative, and will be individualized according to your needs. My priority is that you feel welcomed, validated, safe and relieved after our sessions. Therapy can feel uncomfortable and sometimes unnatural, because you are allowed to show up with all vulnerabilities. Our emotions are roller coasters, and rather than contain or hide them as we do during our day-to-day lives, I encourage expression, exploration and acceptance of them in sessions. You are free to feel and show your emotions in a safe space, free of judgement.

During sessions, you can expect an integrative approach that utilizes mindfulness, cognitive-behavioural, dialectic-behavioural, solution-focused, narrative, and possibly EMDR techniques to help assist your goals. These approaches are tools to help promote personal growth and exploration of your past, present and possibly future self.

I encourage self-discovery and growth in therapy while offering support and validation in a welcoming space. Though I focus on growth in your present and future self, self-exploration leads to confronting difficult past experiences and many times a less empowered self. Together, we may tackle difficult and uncomfortable experiences and feelings. In doing so, we will build resilience and inner peace at your pace. We will explore your inner strengths and restructure a more meaningful life so that you can be your authentic self moving forward!
