Senior Therapist - Master of Education Psychology & Master of Social Work
Senior Therapist helping individuals with depression, anxiety, stress, mood disorders, marital conflicts, Grief and Loss, work related matters, Trauma and Addictions.
I have sixteen years of experience supporting individuals with depression, anxiety, stress, mood disorders, marital conflicts, work relationship conflicts, and other issues. I take a compassionate, client-focused approach. Each individual or family has special circumstances and a unique situation—I follow my client’s lead and help them achieve their full potential in their unique situation. I believe in mindfulness, which ignites our hidden strengths and makes the wheels go around in our relationships, work, and social connections. I am aware that heuristics or a set of standard rules do not apply to everyone’s situation. I carefully analyze each case without presumptions, explore the dark corners that are useful but may have been unattended, and provide recommendations to suit the unique needs of each client.
I work with a diverse range of individuals, couples, and families, and I am
committed to helping clients live more fulfilling and meaningful lives. Building
long-term therapeutic relationships is central to my practice, as I work to
empower individuals to become their best selves possible.
I am passionate about helping individuals struggling with mental health issues.
I use evidence-based modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) to help clients deal with dysfunctional belief
systems, build resilience, and improve their overall quality of life. While working
with couples, I try to focus on their attachment styles that usually form during
childhood. Our childhood attachment styles can resurface in our adult
relationships and cause communication problems. With proper insight, guidance,
and targeted intervention, couples can reshape their attachment patterns and
experience happier, healthier, and more connected relationships.
