I am an Associate Therapist with a Master’s in Counselling Psychology, offering low-cost, supervised therapy through Counselling For All. My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, relational approach that emphasises safety, collaboration, and respect for each client’s lived experience. I strive to create a space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to explore their inner world at a pace that feels right for them. I have experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief, ageing, relational difficulties, identity shifts, intimate partner violence and post-traumatic stress. I am particularly drawn to work that helps clients make sense of their emotional experiences, reconnect with themselves, and move toward lives that feel more authentic and aligned with their values.

I welcome clients of all genders and backgrounds and have a particular interest in supporting men’s mental health, especially those who may be navigating emotional overwhelm, anger, loneliness, or difficulty expressing vulnerability. I also work with individuals facing major life transitions, including changes in relationships, career, aging, and identity. As an immigrant to Canada who has lived and taught English in several countries, I bring a culturally responsive and reflective lens to my work. I value the many ways people understand themselves, their histories, and their worlds, and I aim to honour each client’s cultural, social, and personal context.

My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing primarily from emotionally focused therapy (EFT), existential and humanistic frameworks, and skills-informed practices influenced by dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). I pay close attention to emotional safety, nervous system regulation, attachment patterns, and the impact of past experiences on present-day coping. Rather than focusing on symptom reduction alone, I work collaboratively with clients to deepen emotional awareness, build self-compassion, and strengthen their capacity to respond to life with greater flexibility and intention. Therapy is tailored to each individual, and interventions are chosen thoughtfully to support both emotional processing and meaningful change.

Clients often come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who they are becoming. In our work together, we will gently explore what is getting in the way, identify patterns that no longer serve you, and cultivate inner resources that support resilience and growth. I aim to be present, honest, and engaged in the therapeutic relationship. My aim is not to fix you, but to work with you as you develop greater clarity, emotional steadiness, and a fuller sense of alignment with your values. Whether you are seeking healing, direction, or reconnection with yourself, I am committed to supporting you with care, curiosity, and respect.
