With over 10 years of counselling and over 6 years as a Registered Psychotherapist, I bring a compassionate, non-judgemental, trauma informed and a client-centred approach to our work together using holistic and integrative methods. My practice is rooted in understanding how your unique experiences have shaped who you are today, and tailoring our work to meet those specific needs.
During our work together, I provide a variety of therapeutic tools, including EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) tapping, which can help release emotional blockages (triggers) and reduce stress. This method, along with other evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, breath work and trauma informed/somatic approaches, allows us to address both the emotional and physical aspects of your struggles. EFT Tapping in particular, can help you process and release years of stuck trauma, release negative emotions, leading to greater emotional clarity, relief and freedom. Through these combined approaches, you will begin to notice shifts in how you feel, how you respond to challenges, how you show up in relationships and begin to feel a greater sense of peace and empowerment in your daily life.

My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can feel comfortable exploring all of your issues and emotions based on a foundation of trust so that you can begin releasing the patterns that no longer serve you and feel the freedom from whatever is holding you back in life.
