I aspire to create an affirming and judgement-free environment where individuals feel safe expressing their experiences as everyone deserves to be heard and witnessed for who they are. I can provide practical guidance and support and I incorporate humour and humility into my practice. I view treatment as holistic and do not subscribe to a "one size fits all" approach. While there can be common symptoms, each person brings their own unique experiences and perspectives to the challenges which they are currently facing, because of this I will always work with you to design a practical and specific treatment plan designed just for you.

Psychotherapy is a broad term to refer to counselling or talk therapy approaches to address any area of pain in our lives. Psychotherapy can include focusing on a specific stressor, like workplace issues or coping with loss, dealing with specific relationships such as couples counselling or learning how to set boundaries with your family of origin, or focus more on enhancing your life if things are feeling not quite right. You can expect to have conversations that include learning new skills and strategies, opportunity to try new skills in the session, and action items to practice in between sessions to support you towards your goals.
