You are more than your symptoms and diagnoses:
A therapeutic approach that is not confined by the medical model or diagnoses but embraces the full spectrum of being human.

Imagine it's like planting seeds of change and watching them bloom over time. That's the approach I've cultivated over two decades—a holistic, human-centered journey that values your unique story and respects your individuality.
Over the years, my journey in clinical practice has been a continuous dance of learning, unlearning, and relearning. With over 20 years of experience of diving into real-life situations, I decided to break free from the insulated medicalized view of well-being and adopt a more holistic approach to therapy because quite simply, what I saw in the field wasn’t necessarily working for many.
My therapeutic toolkit draws upon my experience and extensive training in various modalities such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Mindfulness, and trauma-informed techniques like Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, somatic psychology, and parts work, I embrace an integrative approach. Rather than adhering to a single modality, I tailor interventions from these diverse methods to suit the unique needs and goals of each individual.
my goal
With this philosophy at the heart of my practice, my goal is clear: to provide a non-judgmental and safe space where well-being and genuine healing can flourish. I reject the notion of merely "fixing" issues; instead, I am committed to fostering a journey of intentional steps towards healing.
There is No One Size Fits All Approach. I respect the uniqueness that exist in being human; therapy is tailored to fit your needs. Humans often come to therapy with many layers of adding to their distress. I take a flexible stance to therapy and recognize the value of holding space for multiple truths, perspectives, and experiences.
We live in a world of isolation that values individual needs over our relational and collective needs. Many of our modern day mental and emotional struggles can be directly related to this isolation.
We also have a culture of disembodiment where we separate the mind and body. I believe in the value of bridging the mind-body and seeing the person as a whole.
Regardless of therapeutic approach or modality, research has consistently demonstrated that the therapeutic relationship is a strong predictor of positive outcomes to create meaningful change.
Therapy can be short-term or long-term depending on your individual goals and needs. For some people, moving slower in therapy is more effective to allow for deeper awareness and healing of wounds. Shorter-term therapy may make more sense if you are wanting more immediate and concrete strategies to alleviate your current level of distress.
Our society tends to have a negative bias in that that we tend to focus on what’s wrong, what’s broken, what needs to be fixed, emotions are bad, and so forth. This is not about “toxic positivity” or to simply “bounce back” from tragedy and negative life events. Its about learning strategies and tools to building your own our resilient pathway.
A collection of stones artfully arranged to mimic the human form. Inspired by the ancient Gaelic tradition of cairns, each stone signifies a vital aspect of the therapeutic process. The careful balance of these stones mirrors the equilibrium we seek in life, embodying solid foundations for growth and the ritualistic laying down of primitive burdens. This logo encapsulates the essence of my approach: a commitment to fostering bold, and serene spaces where trust and vulnerability intertwine. It speaks to the profound connection between mind and body, illustrating the path toward a sanctuary of calm—a space where healing is not just a process but a journey toward a brighter, more harmonious future. Welcome to a haven where each stone laid symbolizes the transformative power of building a solid foundation for growth.
