Introduction

I am committed to affirming each client’s strengths while challenging them to build capacity as they navigate life's challenges. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. My work is grounded in the belief that everyone has the resilience and inner resources needed to navigate change—and that, with the right support, those resources can flourish. It is a privilege to walk with you through this journey of change, growth and evolution. I use a blend of evidence-based modalities tailored to your unique needs: Solution-Focused Brief Therapy: Helping you identify and amplify what’s already working in your life. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT): Challenging unhelpful thoughts, building healthier thinking patterns. Cultural & Spiritual Sensitivity: Honoring your background, beliefs, and values Come, lets reason together to highlight what you have been doing well, what has worked for you in the past, explore your strengths and skills. We will discover together what healing, growth and evolution looks like for you.
