Spiritual Registered Psychotherapist

My practice at a glance:

I am a therapist who is passionate about slowing down to truly get to know the real you. Together, we will witness your emotions, hear your stories, and welcome your authenticity. My own therapeutic journey helped me discover and navigate my life path, inspiring me to become a therapist and support you on yours. Spiritual psychotherapy is transformative, and I am honoured to provide a safe space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported in each session. If you are ready to take action to achieve the results you desire, you are in the right place.

My experience with therapy has been profound, and allowed me to explore difficult life events such as reconstructive ear surgeries, my parents’ divorce, the deaths of loved family members, pregnancy loss, and an intense spiritual awakening. Born with a hearing impairment, I wear a hearing aid and have felt different most of my life. However, this impairment has gifted me deep emotional sensitivity, a range of spiritual abilities, and a strong connection to my intuition.

Throughout my life, in conversations with clients, friends, family, and strangers, I have learned that everyone experiences feelings of not belonging. It is painful to feel this way, and to avoid this pain, many adopt coping strategies such as staying busy, ignoring self-care, overworking, repressing emotions, developing addictions, or engaging in codependency. Therapy provides a space to share your feelings without judgement, learn about your needs and wants, and express yourself authentically and vulnerably.

In the open and safe environment my practice provides, I invite you to slow down and share the details of your life events that have shaped and impacted you, in order to begin or continue your healing process. If you commit to the work, you will notice gradual shifts towards positive self-acceptance, higher self-confidence, and a change in how you react when feeling overwhelmed by your thoughts or emotions. I am deeply invested in the wellbeing of each client and know from personal experience that it is possible to move forward and create change.
