Great to meet you!

I use various techniques and evidence-based practices to address your needs and lead you through growth and development. I feel it should be tailored for each individual as opposed to a 'one size fits all' approach. If you would like more information, please reach out!

My approach to therapy

The first session is more about getting to know you and where you are struggling, while creating discussions for understanding.

We focus on:

  • What’s not working right now
  • Where you feel stuck or frustrated
  • What support looks like for you
  • Changes you would like to make

No pressure to say everything perfectly. No rapid-fire questioning.

The goal is to get clarity quickly and for you to leave knowing whether we are a good fit.

What you can expect from me

The environment I create is warm and non-judgemental. I don't allow guilt or shame to own you or the conversation. I may give you suggestions, but you take what sounds good and say what doesn't. My goal is to help you become more of who you want to be and live with full authenticity while growing and developing in life.
