Pivot Psychotherapy

With over 15 years of experience in mental health and counselling and a doctorate in Counselling and Psychotherapy, I bring extensive clinical knowledge, practical tools, and diverse therapeutic approaches to my work. My goal is to create a collaborative, supportive space where clients feel understood, empowered, and equipped to navigate life's challenges.
 

My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and grounded in cultural responsiveness and social justice. I integrate a range of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), narrative therapy, sensorimotor psychotherapy, and multicultural counselling perspectives. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor our work to your unique experiences, needs, and goals.
 

Through my work in private practice and a university setting, I support adolescents and adults navigating challenges related to emotional well-being, relationships, self-confidence, and personal, academic, or professional growth.
