Great to meet you!

My passion is helping people understand their unique strengths and how to utilize them when going through challenging times. My professional journey spans over 13 years of dedicated experience, working with clients in a variety of settings—from intensive mental health clinics to supportive community programs.

My approach to therapy

My approach

I am an eclectic therapist, and there is no one-size-fits-all. I treat every client as a unique individual and customize a unique therapeutic approach for each client. Being empathic to each client and hearing them out is a starting point for each approach used.

My focus

I work with clients who have low self-esteem or are depressed about their current situation, as well as those with other mental health issues. My job is to help them utilize existing coping techniques or develop new ones, to help them improve their outlook and deal with their current circumstances.

My communication style

I must establish rapport with clients, where clients feel like they are in a warm and trusting environment. Clients feel comfortable sharing in a non-judgmental space.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love helping people. The most satisfying experience is seeing clients able to overcome challenges, knowing that you, as a therapist, helped them get there.

My goals for you

Goal setting starts with the client, with the therapist helping clients understand what they can realistically accomplish with enough support and guidance.

What you can expect from me

My first session with you

The first session is about setting the tone and establishing rapport. I will listen to what clients have to say and what brought them to therapy while being as empathic as possible.
