I entered this profession to help people shoulder the weight of the responsibilities they may face; the roles of being a friend, partner, family member, employee, business owner, teacher, coach or many of the other hats we wear can make us feel bogged down. Attending to your own needs is not selfish, you cannot pour from an empty cup. You might be looking for someone to listen, objectively, and without judgment; someone to create a space for connection.

As an east coaster, my background influences my approach to counselling, let’s brew the kettle, pour a cup of tea (or coffee!) and have authentic interaction. I strive to offer a comfortable, cozy and informal space. You can truly be yourself: I am interested in getting to know you, and hearing about your experiences, your family, your hopes and hardships.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, like you’re lacking confidence or that you just need someone objective to hold space for your needs, please don’t hesitate to connect with me. I offer free consultations: let’s chat and see if we’re a good fit.

My clients control the pace of sessions. I don't think therapy is a one-size-fits-all experience, everyone has their own level of readiness and openness. Sometimes a person will be ready to dive in right away, other times it can take multiple sessions to build trust. Sometimes just addressing an issue by talking to someone can alleviate some level of symptoms.

I often use elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with clients. This involves noticing thought patterns that have a negative impact on emotions and behaviours, and then challenging those patterns. I am working on a DBT certification and a Somatic EMDR certification, both of which I look forward to offering in the near future.
