My favourite part of being a therapist is getting to work with others on their counselling goals and noticing with them the progress and associations they are making. Building a trusting relationship is a key part of my job that I enjoy. It is a privilege of mine to provide a safe space for others to feel heard, seen, and understood.

In my work, I like connecting with teens and adults of all backgrounds who are curious about discussing life transitions, change, relationships, and self awareness. I often enjoy working with those who are beginners in therapy, and I look forward to connecting with diverse groups of clients.

As a Registered Social Worker, I value working from an anti-oppressive, culturally safe, and person-centered lens. I place a lot of focus on creating and noticing the feeling of safety in the body. Oftentimes I draw on Internal Family Systems theory to help guide folks towards healing and I tend to incorporate the mind-body connection.

I lean into trauma informed counselling techniques - utilizing CBTm, DBT, Body Oriented Trauma, and Poly Vagal theories to inform how our narrative impacts our experiences. I also like to take the approach of noticing how the systems and environment around us have impacts.

I believe that the quality of our relationships impacts the quality of our lives. We inherit things from our family of origins and have various things happen to us, but we can change our responses and focus on what we can control in our present day. We can recognize the experiences we are having and actively choose something different than what we know from past conditioning or patterns. If you are feeling stuck in some area of your life and want to explore that, I would be happy to hear from you.

I offer in-person, phone, or video sessions during the daytime, evenings and weekends.
