I tend to be warm, friendly, and direct with my clients. I strive to continuously provide a safe and nonjudgmental space. Showing a sense of openness and interest in my clients' concerns helps promote comfort and support rapport-building. I have adopted modalities such as Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy within my therapeutic approach.
My philosophy is that everyone struggles with one thing or another, and it is important to recognize that taking the first step toward healing can be difficult. I believe in operating as an advocate for my clients' psychological well-being by ensuring they feel welcomed and heard. One of the ways to do so is through humility and recognizing that everyone has their own experience. Using client-centered, intersectional, and trauma-informed lenses has helped me better ease the therapeutic and human experience.
At first, what piqued my interest in becoming a counselling therapist was a desire to understand people. As I continued in my studies and career, I began to reflect on the stigma around mental health that still exists and how it continues to affect people's overall well-being. I want to be part of the group working toward positive change, while helping individuals with different struggles in life strive toward betterment.
