About me and my therapy practice
Therapy is a journey to know yourself, to develop deeper self-awareness and to notice the aspects of your life that are causing you pain and suffering. Through compassionate self-enquiry, we can begin to honour our past and adopt new patterns and beliefs that serve ourselves and those around us. As an integrative therapist, I pull on a wide range of techniques to facilitate this journey with you.
I believe in the power of human connection, and my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and valued. I see therapy as a collaborative journey where together we can sit with all that you bring to our sessions, and create a space for you to ponder, to express, to be in the not knowing and to perhaps find new ways to hold yourself through life in a way that feels more connected and aligned with who you are.
As an integrative therapist, I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, including Psychodynamic, Person-Centered, ACT and Compassion-Focused based theories, to create a personalized approach that honors your individual path. Drawing from one of my favorite quotes, therapy can help to have -
"the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference"
Practice description
I offer a warm and safe environment to explore your thoughts, feelings and beliefs. I believe your human experience to be unique and commit to providing an empathetic and non-judgmental space, inviting you to explore the many aspects of yourself with compassion and free of judgement.
I work with individuals over 16 years old.
