Welcome! I work with youth and adults who are struggling with mood or emotional problems, anxiety and panic, suicidal ideation or self-harm, family or relational conflict, substance use or compulsive behaviours, and adverse or traumatic events. I have extensive experience working as a therapist for the health authority within the field of mental health and addictions, and have a strong understanding of the challenges that diverse populations experience emotionally, behaviourally, and socially.
My focus in my work with clients is developing an authentic relationship and creating a safe space where people can feel supported, empowered, and heard. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches including EMDR, DBT, ACT, CBT, and mindfulness and somatic based therapies.
Using a collaborative approach, I work alongside my clients to help them connect to inner resources and strengths and to develop new skills, so they can reclaim a sense of control over their lives. If you feel like this could benefit you, please reach out, I look forward to hearing from you!
