Hi! I’m Purleen!

A Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) at Tranquillium Holistic Therapy & Wellness. I’ve always felt deeply called to support others, and that calling led me to the path of psychotherapy. Through my own personal journey, I’ve come to understand just how powerful it can be to feel seen, heard, and supported — and how meaningful therapy can be in helping us reconnect with ourselves.

At Tranquillium, we believe in meeting you where you are — emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. My role is to walk alongside you on your healing journey with empathy, compassion, and care. Together, we’ll create a space that feels safe, grounded, and empowering. I’m so grateful you’re here, and I look forward to working with you.

My Approach To Therapy

I like to utilize a client-centered approach with my clients. I believe that each client is the expert of their own life and that I am simply here to help in facilitating your own exploration, growth and healing. I like to use a collaborative and empowering approach that respects your autonomy an inherent capacity for self-understanding and change. I bring empathy and genuineness to each session to foster trust and rapport. When working with me we will work collaboratively to decipher what tools and strategies will work best for you to fulfill your goals and emotional needs!

  • CBT focuses on understanding how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact, and how these interactions can sometimes lead to unhelpful patterns or negative thinking. CBT also emphasizes examining and challenging different beliefs to foster positive change.

  • Solution-Focused Therapy is a goal-oriented approach that addresses current challenges and works to create practical solutions tailored to your lifestyle. Together, we will collaborate to develop solutions, focusing on actionable steps rather than solely on problems.

  •  DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness strategies to help manage emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and tolerate distress. In therapy, we will work together to build skills in areas like emotion regulation and acceptance, while helping you navigate difficult situations and strengthen your overall resilience.

  • Narrative therapy views you as the expert of your own life. We will separate you from the problem and explore how certain stories may be influencing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we will co-author new, more empowering narratives that align with your values and goals.

What to Expect in Sessions

Everyone has their own journey, and since there is no one-size-fits-all all approach to therapy, I tailor all of my sessions to be specific to the client and their unique needs. You can expect to feel seen, cared for, and supported. If you are looking to make a change in your life, we will work collaboratively to set achievable goals, while also creating a safe and judgement-free space.

How I Want You to Feel After a Session

After each session, I want my clients to leave feeling heard, supported, and relieved as if they can take a big breath and release some of the burden they've been bearing. Similar to the sensation of being with someone who genuinely understands and values you, I hope that sessions bring clarity and comfort!
