About My Clients
Many of my clients experience emotional pain; whether the symptoms of anxiety and depression are taking a daily toll, relationships feel unbalanced and disconnected, or stress and self-criticism are impacting performance at work, socially or at home. Together, I support clients to pull back the layers of present challenges in order to release painful past experiences and re-engage with their careers, their loved ones and themselves in more meaningful ways.
My Background and Approach
Therapy sessions integrate both insight-oriented and skills-based approaches. I gently challenge clients to explore the root cause of their symptoms, gaining new awareness into their emotional and relationship patterns. At the same time, I focus on practical strategies, with an emphasis on relaxation and meditation practices, to help clients feel better in the here and now. I am focused on ensuring that my clients see real progress: my style is interactive, non-judgmental and positions clients as the experts on where they are now, and where they want to go. I am sensitive to the influence of past experiences on present challenges and work closely with clients to reframe the narrative of their life in a way that increases self-confidence and compassion.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that therapy can provide a space to solve problems and heal wounds. It can be a place of hope and new beginnings. Within a trusting, collaborative relationship with the right therapist, it can provide structure for people to build strengths, support and resources, and to discover solutions. As a professional therapist, my role is to guide clients as they take steps towards positive life changes, healing and a healthy mind. I approach clients with a deep empathy and belief in the power of their strengths and teach self-compassion. My approach is founded in values of compassion, professionalism, non-judgment, strengths and genuine regard. My wish for couples is that more of them will begin to turn to couples therapy as a preventative measure - a way to learn to take care of their investment in one another and learn skills to help keep their relationship joyful and strong.
