Taking the first steps in seeking help is hard; it takes courage, strength, and vulnerability. I believe that every human has intrinsic worth and an innate capacity for change. I consider therapy to be a collaborative approach, where you are the expert in your life, your wants, and your needs. With empathy, acceptance, sincerity, and support, I hope to create a safe space for you to explore your experiences, broaden your understanding, and reach your goals. I aim to bring an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from a myriad of counselling approaches and interventions that best fits you and your needs.

When working with clients, I utilize an eclectic approach, and incorporate strategies from a variety of treatment modalities. Although I strongly utilize a client centered and cognitive behavioural approach, I don’t believe there is a one size fits all approach for therapy so I tailor my approach individually for each person; I think everyone is unique, and that their journey in therapy should reflect this. I also believe that creating a relationship is an essential component of effective therapy and understand that trust is something that needs to be built throughout the therapeutic process.

I also view therapy as a collaborative journey, and that clients are the experts on their own lives, so it only makes sense to have their input and wisdom as part of the experience. I believe in a practical, evidence and skill-based hands-on approach to counselling, and that humor and seeing the silver lining can be an essential part of dealing with life’s adversities.

Hello! I am passionate about actively listening to one’s life story through multi-factorial and nonjudgmental lenses as many factors (e.g., cultural, biological, social, psychological) influence one’s experiences and worldviews. I practiced a client-centered approach in my previous experience while supporting and coaching families in navigating complex emotional regulation issues and life stressors associated with having a child with a disability (e.g., Autism, anxiety, OCD and ADHD). I would like to collaboratively work with individuals in helping them navigate their issues by highlighting their strengths and identifying potential solutions.

My counselling strategy draws upon an integrative approach which is built on the foundation of Carl Rogers’ core conditions of empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard. From this basic foundation, I use a composite of intervention techniques to address the multifaceted concerns of clients. Through establishing a non-judgmental and accepting environment, I collaborate with clients on finding meaning and values-based action to promote healing and constructive change. My therapeutic interests include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Narrative Therapy (NT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT).

I have counselled collaboratively with diverse clients and embrace what makes each person unique by way of their race, culture, religion, and sexual orientation.
