I am passionate about creating a space that is empowering, non-judgmental and compassionate. I believe the relationship between the therapist and the client is integral to the process of therapy, and as such, I put emphasis on building a connection where you can be seen and supported. I use an integrative approach to therapy and utilize a trauma-informed, person-centered lens to explore healing, with techniques from an array of models of therapy. I work with my clients to address the root cause of present day concerns through intentional, pro-active listening and collaborate with my clients strengths.
I have a Master’s in counselling psychology, as well as a Bachelors in grief, bereavement, trauma and loss studies. I have experience in the mental health field, as well as in education. I have experience with and special interests in OCD, anxiety, trauma, loss, personality disorders, relationship concerns, and attachment issues.
It takes courage to show up for yourself. I am grateful to support people in learning how to show up for themselves in the hopes of creating a more functional, holistic and healthy life. You are welcome here exactly as you are.
