Trauma, relational issues, and other life stressors can leave you feeling drained, isolated or stuck, but there is hope. A life of greater wholeness, connection and meaning is possible. Within the context of a safe therapeutic relationship, we can explore and process your experience together.
I am committed to providing a compassionate and nonjudgmental space for you to feel heard. Your story is unique, and therefore, treatment is tailored to your needs. Along with a trauma-informed lens, I use approaches such as attachment theory, emotion-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy.
I am a registered counsellor and work with adults and teens on a range of issues. If you are seeking support in the midst of your challenges, please reach out. I look forward to connecting with you.
