Finding someone you trust to share parts of your life with can be challenging. A first step is finding a skilled therapist whom you can connect with, and who works with you to dig deep, make meaningful changes, and can facilitate the learning of new skills to cope with challenging areas of your life while also honouring your experiences, values, and beliefs. I value offering an open and safe environment to meet you where you are in your life, encourage healing, and enhance your emotional wellness.

My extensive experience has allowed me to work with a diverse range of issues and concerns as well as clientele. My experience ranges from working with not-for-profit organizations, government agencies, to private practice where I have gained the skills to competently work with individuals, couples, and families with complex mental health issues.

I have also gained knowledge and experience utilizing various evidence-based therapeutic approaches including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focussed Therapy (EFT), Internal family Systems (IFS), and Narrative Therapy. I also integrate art therapy, person centered therapy, positive psychology, mindfulness, compassionate focussed and relational approaches into my sessions.
