“My therapeutic approach is holistic, relational, and person-centred. I can help you develop your own “toolset” for wellness, one that will empower you in your journey towards personal growth. My work is based on a relationship of acceptance, compassion, warmth and curiosity. I am committed to offering a safe, non-judgmental and supportive space for you to find language for your inner experience and be curious about yourself, your behaviours, and relational environment. I care about connecting deeply with my clients and their inner reality, in such a way that we can resonate emotionally. I strongly believe in the intrinsic healing power of an honest therapeutic relationship.”
