life is about the journey…
Therapy with me is an empowering, purposeful place for exploring change and increasing self awareness. We will work together to help you develop a kinder, wiser, more present and flexible relationship with your emotions, thoughts, behaviours, and relational patterns, while considering the unique social, cultural, and systemic influences in your life. You will find that I am warm, approachable, collaborative and motivated to help you transition from a place of struggle to thriving in your life.
My experience is that ‘life is about the journey, not the destination.’ My own journey embraces lifelong learning and diverse life experiences – including professional leadership in education, multifaith community programming and family law – so I know that life journeys also come with deep challenges such as relationship conflict, trauma, shame, struggles with meaning, perfectionism and finding balance.
Flexible in approach, I draw from therapeutic modalities that include working together to build a deeper awareness of the mind-body connection, to be more curious and accepting of our own experiences, to develop strategies to move through the challenges in life, to heal residual pain from the past, and to create a healthier sense of self and more satisfying relationships. I am here to walk with you on this part of your journey and to support you in bringing light and meaning to each moment.
