My work is grounded in a Humanistic Integrative approach, which means I draw from a variety of evidence-based therapies while always placing the human relationship at the center of our work. 

Humanistic therapy emphasizes your capacity for self-awareness, growth, and inner strength. It’s rooted in the belief that healing happens through authentic, empathetic connection and by supporting you to become more fully yourself—not by trying to "fix" you, but by helping you reconnect with your values, emotions, and sense of meaning. 

At the same time, Integrative therapy allows me to tailor our work to your unique needs. Rather than following a single model rigidly, I integrate techniques from various approaches—such as:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for understanding thought patterns
- Emotion-Focused Therapy to process deep emotional wounds 
- Mindfulness and somatic awareness to reconnect with the body
- Attachment theory to explore early relationships and their impact today
- Trauma-informed practices to ensure a safe, respectful space for those with difficult past experiences. 

Together, the Humanistic Integrative style offers a flexible, compassionate, and holistic way to support your healing. It’s a process of discovering—not just what’s wrong—but what’s possible, and who you are beneath the layers of stress, pain or chronic self doubt. Therapy is a deeply personal journey, and I believe in meeting each client with openness, empathy, and respect.
