​ Psychotherapy & Counselling​

First and foremost, therapy is rooted in the notion that you are your own expert. My role is to hold space, to bear witness, to offer guidance and support, alongside of you, as one imperfect human to another. I believe that therapy is a space to gain deeper insight into oneself and to explore deeper questions about meaning and happiness, as well as for learning practical and effective skills for making the changes that you want.​
You are worthy of help and support, no matter how big or small your suffering is. Healing and change is possible. 
If you're engaging in harmful eating and exercise behaviours, or filled with anxiety, self-critical thoughts and body shame, it can be challenging to think about, or even care about, meaning and the bigger questions in life. Therapy can provide concrete skills and guidance for decreasing the unhelpful behaviours and stressors that are holding you back, creating more space and freedom to explore your needs, values, and what gives you purpose, meaning, and joy.

Ultimately, psychotherapy and counselling can help you cultivate self-compassion, resiliency, and confidence in managing emotional and mental distress, so that you can pursue the life that you want and deserve.

Therapeutic alliance, collaboration, safety, and trust, are essential for success in therapy. I strive to provide a space where these elements can be built and strengthened for individuals of diverse backgrounds and social identities, including all body sizes & shapes, races, genders, sexual orientations, and levels of disabilities.
