Facing obstacles that are thrown our way can be overwhelming leaving you feeling defeated, isolated, or stuck. I am here to be your confidant and to provide a safe space where you can feel comfortable exploring the relationship you have with yourself or with others. I work with couples and individuals to empower them and to guide them with the right tools to navigate various challenges. Relationships can be hard work. It can be easy to fall into a pattern where you feel out of touch with one another, frustrated, and hopeless. My goal is to help you navigate challenges by rebuilding a connection based on acceptance, communication, trust, and intimacy. Through an emotion-focused approach, I facilitate open and honest conversations where everyone can feel heard, validated, and understood. I know what it's like to feel like you don’t know what to do, where to go, or how to keep moving forward. The pressure stemming from life, school, work, family, friends, expectations, transitions, loss, or fears can be all-consuming leaving you feeling like you can't quite get a grip. Catch a break. When working with individuals I use an eclectic approach identifying thoughts, emotions, and personal strengths to work towards new ways of conquering challenges, reducing felt tension, and gaining a sense of control to be able to move forward with confidence and ease. I approach all clients with empathy and unconditional understanding. I utilize a culturally sensitive, person-centred approach, tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I believe in the importance of cultivating a strong collaborative working alliance where You are the expert of your own life I'm just here for the ride.
