I currently provide individual counselling by secure online video or by phone. I work primarily with adults to manage and process a variety of concerns. I use a client-centred, trauma-informed approach with a focus on existing strengths to collaborate with people on their path forward. I strive to help my clients view their situation with self-compassion, connect to their resiliency, and enhance their coping skills. I work with the understanding that individual issues arise in the context of greater social structures such as family, the workplace, intimate relationships, and society in general.
I tailor my approach to the needs of each client. My work is guided by therapeutic models including internal family systems therapy, narrative therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based therapies.
I believe that each of my clients know themselves best and that change and growth are always possible. It is my role to contribute knowledge and skills, facilitate a therapeutic alliance, and continually assess the effectiveness of the therapy.
