I specialize in addictions and co-occurring mental health concerns. I have experience working closely with individuals from all walks of life who have struggled with moderate to severe mental health and addiction issues. I approach my work with a holistic, inclusive, trauma-informed and client-centred lens to better understand the inner complexities an individual might struggle with, often due to many outer complexities.
Taking that initial step to seek help is a significant step on your life journey. Healing is never linear, and I am here to meet you at whatever point you might be. You are the expert in your life, and I will individualize the support you seek, building off your current strengths and resilience.
I draw upon various therapeutic approaches, including emotion-focused, mindfulness-based, narrative, cognitive, and somatics. My work is informed by attachment and social justice perspectives. It is always an honour to hear an individual's story. I hope to help you untangle and make sense of some of the complexities that it is to be human.
