I practice an eclectic approach to therapy which looks at the client holistically and combines different forms of standards approaches. I believe that a counsellor and client relationship is special and needs to be a good fit. I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment at all times. I work hard to instill trust, empathy, and mutual respect. Working on your mental health is never a waste- it’s an investment in self-worth and moving forward in a positive direction. I look forward to walking you through your healing journey and always maintaining a safe place to pause. Your holistic needs will always come first. I believe in having honest and open communication about your needs in order to foster a solid therapeutic relationship.
