Greetings! A little about me: with over 15 years of experience supporting youth, adults, and families in both educational and recreational settings, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate their unique paths with compassion and insight. As a Master in Counselling Psychology (MACP) intern, my approach is rooted in psychodynamic, narrative, and person-centered therapies, recognizing that we all have stories—often without realizing we're the best authors. Rumi captures this beautifully: "Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth."
I believe in the power of nature, curiosity, and openness to foster healing and growth, and I am particularly interested in exploring eco-therapy, including "walk and talk" sessions with clients.
You are not alone; Shakespeare penned, “Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.” We often default holding ourselves back out of fear of failure or walking into the unknown. Have faith in yourself, and trust that embracing new paths will bring valuable and enriching experiences!
