Welcome to a space of understanding and healing.
About me
At the heart of my life are three incredible daughters who constantly amaze, challenge, and inspire me. My personal path to mental wellness has ignited a profound passion to guide others in their unique life journeys, supporting them in embracing the best version of themselves. Creativity, particularly through the lens of art, captivates my spirit and brings forth that childlike wonder that I believe we should never let go of as we journey through life. I find an unparalleled healing essence through time spent in nature, whether amidst the trees in a forest or by the gentle ripples of water and I am committed to sharing the healing power of this connection with others.
My Background
My educational journey includes graduating with distinction from the Social Service Worker program. Currently, I am qualifying for a Bachelor's degree in Counselling Psychology. In addition, I hold certifications in various therapeutic disciplines, such as yoga, meditation, cognitive behavior therapy, and somatic embodiment regulation. My sincere dedication to my clients motivates me to continually enhance my expertise in diverse therapeutic techniques, ensuring that I can better meet their unique needs.
My Approach
I understand that your wellness is important to you, and I'm here to help you achieve it. I believe that true wellness involves a balance of mind, body, and spirit, and my approach to counseling reflects that. My goal is to create a safe and compassionate space for you to express yourself, to listen to you with empathy and understanding, and to help you navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience. I recognize that your experiences and perspectives are unique, and I'm committed to providing you with the tools and insights you need to cultivate a sense of well-being and harmony. My ultimate goal is to empower you to live your life with purpose and meaning, to understand your emotions and physical sensations more deeply, and to embrace your authentic self. Through our work together, I hope to guide you on your journey toward self-empowerment and holistic well-being. I believe that healing begins from within, and I'm honored to be a part of your journey.
