I also use the somatic approach, CBT, and DBT to access and change deeper emotional and cognitive processes.
I believe that all problems that seem to defy solutions are directly affected – even determined - by how you experience and relate to yourself and others. Exploring the psychological meaning and emotional sense you attach to your specific internal struggles, feelings, and experiences can bring new insights and creative changes to your life. I am deeply committed to facilitating a safe, trusting relationship that can help you heal, grow, and become more fully yourself. I work with a wide range of individuals and couples, focusing on helping people create healthy and fulfilling lives in their internal and external worlds.

Using CBT, DBT, ACT, and motivational interviewing, I help my individuals and couples identify and break unhelpful patterns and learn skills to help them meet their goals.
While stress, anxiety, sadness, health problems, and relationship conflicts are a common part of life, if they're interfering with work, school, family, relationships, or other areas of your life that are important to you, you may benefit from therapy. My clients experience a range of difficulties from anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, depression, substance or impulse control issues, chronic pain or health problems, and high-conflict relationships. The thing they all have in common is they feel like their emotions, behaviours, or past experiences have prevented them from living the fullest, most meaningful life possible.

Drawing from various psychological approaches, including EMDR (certified clinician), IFS (IFS informed), and registered art therapy, I integrate techniques from DBT and somatic frameworks as needed.
Are you feeling disconnected from yourself? You might currently be struggling with feelings of hopelessness, depression, or overwhelming emotions without adequate support. Through collaborative counseling and/or art therapy, we can work together to explore and rediscover your internal resources, uncover your inner resilience and strengths, and address your feelings, inner turmoil, and questions. By bridging the gap between your current state and your desired emotional state, we can explore and address your concerns, behaviors, and fears.

Welcome to my practice. I believe that every person has the capacity for change. Counselling helps us unearth our internal compass, also called our inner intelligence, intuition, or higher self, so that we can relearn how to trust ourselves again. This is important work. Together, I will help you develop your capacity to respond to life's circumstances and manage the discomfort that you are experiencing. Our pain, anxiety, sadness, love, and joy all have important information for us. They can reveal what is required of us to heal, grow, and even thrive.
