First, I am honoured that you're interested in working with me, as I know selecting someone for therapy services can be a daunting task at times. Fundamental to my therapeutic work is a non-judgmental lens, a collaborative approach, and the client-centered idea that we are all ultimately the experts over our own lives. I am mindful that therapy can be a sensitive process, and I strive to honour that trust by creating an emotionally safe, warm, and approachable atmosphere. I believe humour can be a powerful tool in difficult situations. Our goal is to work as a team, to better understand the challenges that brought you to seek therapy, and explore the many ways we might achieve your goals.

For those interested in the 'jargon' of the profession, my therapeutic practice can best be described an an eclectic approach, incorporating a diverse set of styles; this includes Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and Narrative approaches. I apply a strengths-based emphasis, harm reduction strategies, mindfulness and psychoeducational components. I practice from a trauma-informed perspective, and utilize a theoretical frameworks such as Family Systems Theory, Anti-Oppressive Practice, an Attachment Theory lens, and I value safe and affirming care practices for 2SLGBTQQIA+ community members.

I find it incredibly rewarding to support individuals to overcome challenges and reach their goals; I look forward to working with you so that we may do the same.
