I am so glad your here

I am passionate about helping people improve their mental health and wellbeing.

I understand that seeking therapy can be a difficult decision, but I want to assure you that you've come to the right place. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel seen, heard and validated to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment.

As an integrative, mindfulness-based therapist, I take a whole-person approach to therapy. I incorporate a unique blend of evidence-based therapy with holistic practices that have been proven to be effective, and I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each client. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and I work closely with my clients to help them gain a deeper understanding of themselves and develop the tools they need to thrive.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transition , or self discovery. I am here to help. It takes courage to take the first step towards seeking therapy, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you on your journey towards healing and growth.

My Integrative Approach

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT is a behavioral therapy to help individuals live their lives and behave as guided by their core values. In ACT, we help increase an individual’s awareness of their thoughts, emotions bodily sensations and behaviours and clarify their values. Skills include mindfulness skills to gain an awareness of internal and external experiences, self-compassion skills, and acceptance skills. Values determine goals in therapy and the overarching aim is to help individuals live a meaningful and satisfying life while effectively handling the pain that inevitably comes with life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) 

DBT is a structured and evidence-based intervention to help improve emotional regulation and interpersonal relationships. While the origins of DBT are a group-based intervention, the skills can be used in individual therapy. Clients are taught key skills in four areas including Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal skills. With adolescents, there is an additional skill about Walking the Middle Path. DBT skills help increase adaptive behaviors and reduce maladaptive behaviors so individuals can have a life worth living.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is designed to help people who suffer repeated bouts of depression and chronic unhappiness. It combines the ideas of cognitive therapy with meditative practices and attitudes based on the cultivation of mindfulness. The heart of this work lies in becoming acquainted with the modes of mind that often characterize mood disorders while simultaneously learning to develop a new relationship to them.

Walk - Talk therapy

Walk-Talk is a mindfulness-based body oriented therapy that can make it easier for clients to relax, stop ruminating, release physical tension, breathe deep and receive mind-body insight while processing experiences in a different way. As the name describes, clients talk with me while walking outdoors rather than sitting or lying down in a therapy office. Walking side by side rather than sitting face to face enables some clients to feel more comfortable when sharing in the therapy process. Walk-Talk requires an initial intake counseling session conducted in office or via online therapy.

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is a mindfulness-based program designed to assist people with developing non-judgmental self-awareness through meditation to enhance one’s ability to cope with challenging circumstances, a range of emotions, and psychological tensions.

Creative & Expressive Therapies

Creative and Expressive Therapies are based on the assumption that people can heal through the various forms of creative expression. Expressive therapists share the belief that through creative expression, such as art, journaling, yoga/movement, that tapping of the imagination, people can examine their body, feelings, emotions, and thought process.
