Practice information:

At A Hopeful Step, I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for you to share your story and embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. I firmly believe that the therapeutic process is a joint venture, and together, we create a safe and nurturing environment to explore, learn, and grow with each other. Each client brings a unique set of experiences, challenges, and strengths to therapy. Understanding this, I work collaboratively with you to identify your specific goals and objectives for therapy. I support individuals with Chronic pain/injury/illnesses, Relationship issues, Stress & burnout, Grief & loss, anxiety & depression brought on by Life transitions, Intergenerational trauma and childhood sexual abuse. 

Drawing from evidence-based therapeutic modalities and genuine empathy, I will work collaboratively with you to uncover your innate strengths, resilience, and potential for growth. My goal is to empower you to cultivate a meaningful and fulfilling life, even in the face of adversity. In sessions, I use an integrative approach to therapy and will draw upon resources from various modalities; Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) & Compassion-focused approaches. As my interest in holistic well-being has increased, I have benefited from personally working through somatic approaches. This has inspired me take an introductory training in EMDR.
 

Occupational Rehabilitation - Restoring Purpose and Function:

In addition to my private practice, I lend my expertise to an occupational rehab clinic, where I support clients recovering from work-related injuries. My approach acknowledges the intricate connection between physical and emotional well-being, guiding individuals towards regaining functionality and confidence in their professional lives.
