Each step you take towards understanding your thoughts and emotions directly contributes towards your growth and healing journey

My job as a  mental health counsellor is to create a safe space for you to explore these emotions as well as reflect and challenge your thought process in a gentle manner. Shaping your emotional experiences leads to self-acceptance and growth. Collaboratively, we work on building trust and insights with a goal to empower you. My goal is to help you acknowledge your power as YOU are the director of your life story.

Collaboration

Collaborating with each client to create an approach that is unique to them.

Insight

Building insight and self-awareness through the process of reflection and curiosity.

Empowerment

My end goal is to empower each client so that you can have an enriched life.

There may be several reasons that brought you here. It could be that you are feeling exhausted,  not feeling yourself or maybe it is difficult for you to pinpoint what it is that is bothering you. Whatever brings you here, I honor your courage to seek support to grow and heal in your wellness journey.

Some of the mental health related challenges that I support my clients with include: 

  • Experiencing feelings of loneliness, detachment, sadness, or unloved. 
  • Feeling a lack of fulfillment and life satisfaction. 
  • Struggling with your negative thoughts or dealing with your harsh inner critic about yourself. 
  • Unable to overcome the past including feelings of grief, guilt, fear, or anger. 
  • Going through some big changes in life such as loss, breakup or career change. 
  • Feeling disconnected from oneself, experiencing low self-worth or self-regard.
  • Dealing with anxiety symptoms such as ruminating over ‘what ifs’, fear, nervousness, fidgeting, headaches, or stomachaches.
  • Trauma after effects or responses such as dissociation, avoidance, or self-sabotage.

My role as a mental health counsellor is to support you on your healing journey by creating a space for you that is filled with compassion and care. I will be using a combination of behavioral, cognitive, emotional and body-oriented approaches to help you develop an awareness of your body and nervous system. Together on this journey, we will explore long held beliefs and patterns that are keeping you feeling stuck.

“The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.”
