I believe clients are the experts of their lives and experience. My aim is to help you explore and process the ways you feel stuck in your life and far away from your goals. I believe clients do their best work when therapy is a safe and thoughtful space where I invite you to imagine differences in your relationships, with yourself and others. My work is informed by Narrative, Dialogic, Solution-Focused, and Emotionally Focused modalities. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit.

Psychotherapy is talk-based therapy to help us explore any areas of concerns in which you may be experiencing difficulties. The therapeutic relationship between you and your therapist is one of exploration, support, and vulnerability to help you live a life aligned with your passions and goals. Taking the first step can feel daunting and I am here to help support you through this journey. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation with me to see if I am the proper fit for your journey.

Psychotherapy is ideally a safe place for clients to begin unpacking their issues to begin looking forward towards their best hopes. While it can certainly be challenging and intimidating, my goal is to help clients embrace the discomfort in exploring these tough issues to ideally imagine a better future to ultimately pursue. While my practice can center around resolution of goals, I also believe some people just need a trained clinician to talk to in a less goal-oriented formal matter.

I embrace uniqueness and everyone's experiences ARE unique, they're ours. I approach each client with uniqueness and authenticity. I like to apply psychodynamic counselling and empowerment strategies to aid in better understanding our experiences and feelings while striving to build our voices and assert ourselves in the present and the future.

Psychotherapy is talk therapy. I can an eclectic approach drawing on several modalities including psychodynamic, narrative, dialectical behavioural and solution- focused. The way we approach your healing will be specific to you and your needs. Our work together will be collaborative as we engage in an ongoing dialogue aimed toward your healing and growth, ensuring that you feel heard, respected and validated. Reach out for a free consultation; I look forward to talking with you.

I utilize an eclectic and collaborative approach to psychotherapy with my clients, drawing from evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and narrative therapy. Additionally, I believe strongly in harnessing your own inner strengths and motivations to build sustainable change. One of the primary benefits of psychotherapy, in my opinion, is that it should be a conversation like no other you've had before, creating a non-judgmental space where you can be truly open.
