I believe one of the most important parts of therapy is creating a warm, non-judgemental, and compassionate environment in the therapy room. I recognize that opening up to another person can be hard and overwhelming. Therefore, I believe it is my job to guide you to process your story in a way that feels achievable and comfortable. I take an eclectic and individualized approach to the therapeutic journey, while using frameworks and techniques derived from modalities such as CBT, ACT, and per...

Clients come to counseling for various reasons. In my experience with the clients, some just needed time and space for them to be heard because they did not have that resource with others in their life. Their friends and family could be great support but couldn’t necessarily offer professional help such as treatment. Some people, including myself, may struggle with things they cannot express clearly. Some may be just confused about life and need some coaching from the counselors. I believe clie...

Do you have a sense that people don’t get you? Do you travel a different path than everybody else? Are you living your life very differently from what other people expect you to? Do people tell you that sometimes you are thinking way outside the box? Are your parents different from you and do they want you to be someone else? Life can be tough when you feel different. Different can also mean isolated, lonely, and misunderstood. It can also mean constantly asking yourself: Will I ever fit in? ...

I have enjoyed working with clients of many ages, most especially clients who are in situations such as yours, where you are making important life choices and are preparing to enter an uncertain future.
