Working with me as your therapist, you can expect a supportive and non-judgmental environment where your needs and goals are prioritized. I strive to create a trusting and safe relationship, allowing you to feel comfortable and open in exploring your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Together, we will embark on a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and transformation.
My commitment to you:
I am dedicated to providing you with personalized and effective therapy that meets your specific needs. I will listen attentively and empathetically, ensuring that I understand your concerns and goals. I will work collaboratively with you, tailoring my approach to suit your unique circumstances and preferences. My commitment is to support and guide you throughout the therapeutic process, empowering you to make positive changes and achieve a greater sense of well-being.
What I offer:
I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities to provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to counselling. My expertise includes Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). These approaches allow me to address a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, identity, trauma, and mental performance psychology. Additionally, I specialize in working with athletes and high-performers, helping them optimize their mental performance while prioritizing their overall well-being.
We may be a good fit for therapy if:
If you are seeking a therapist who values and prioritizes your human needs, encourages personal growth, and creates a safe space for exploration, we may be a good fit for therapy. Whether you are dealing with specific mental health challenges, seeking personal development, or striving to enhance your performance as an athlete or high-performer, my therapeutic approach can provide the support and guidance you need. I welcome clients of all ages and backgrounds, and I am committed to fostering self-discovery, reconnection, and a sense of fullness in life for my clients.
