I aim to help individuals deeply understand the challenges, both internal and external, that arise in our daily lives. I am committed to providing a compassionate, warm and safe environment. From there, we can collaboratively work to create meaningful change and build a life you value.

 

I believe in enacting change through evidence-based, behavioural, relational and values-focused therapeutic approaches.
