As a counselling psychologist, my training is grounded in a client-centered approach. For me, this means offering an empowering professional relationship by incorporating best practices as well as respecting my clients’ needs and values. I believe that the relationship between the therapist and the client is central to the therapeutic process and I focus on the development of a meaningful therapeutic alliance.

 

As my client's needs are at the center of my approach, I use an integrated approach, combining different therapeutic modalities. My approach takes into consideration issues of diversity such as race, gender, disability, age, religion, etc. I have experience working with a wide range of mental health difficulties, this includes anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, and self-esteem issues. I work primarily with adolescents, adults, and couples. I value individual differences, honesty, integrity, and the importance of finding your own path. I strongly believe people can be empowered to find their own answers.
