Therapy can be a helpful way to work through those parts of life where we feel alone, held back, powerless, in pain, or silenced. At the centre of my approach to therapy is the belief that there is wisdom in your experience. I will invite you to open into that wisdom to help you better navigate your life. I believe in working with you to develop goals, and approaches to those goals, that fit your life. Through deepening understanding and facilitating emotional processing, my intention is to help you thrive in your life with self-compassion, flexibility, and confidence.

Encountering painful moments and periods of hardship is inevitable and can bring us into contact with the most fundamental parts of ourselves. I am interested in working with you to explore these moments with curiosity and self-compassion. Healing is a nonlinear process that takes time, and some things may always be unresolved; I see therapy as a safe space to collaboratively explore and articulate different facets of your experience, set therapeutic goals, and work together to create desired changes.

I work with adults and couples to help them move towards a state of continued growth, compassion, and self-awareness in a way that is collaborative, strengths-based, and empowering. I believe in creating a client-therapist relationship that fosters authenticity, support, and space for both acceptance, and for change. This can begin in our very first session. Together, we can begin to tease apart the adaptive approaches to dealing with and moving through life you've grown accustomed to, and begin to decipher which of these patterns are serving you, and which you may be interested in moving beyond.

I seek to create therapeutic spaces that are both supportive and exploratory. Drawing on my training as a therapist and literary scholar, I believe in the value of thinking carefully, deeply, and creatively about the stories we tell (and sometimes don’t tell) about ourselves. By learning to tell their stories, and perhaps learning to tell their stories differently, my clients are able to find balance, take risks, and centre healing in their lives.

What do we really need when starting the process of therapy and healing? A safe environment that's comfortable and welcoming to explore emotions, feelings, and perspectives without judgment. That's what you can expect from our time together. A strong therapeutic relationship is incredibly important when embarking on this journey of self-discovery. I've built my practice on a foundation of compassion and understanding. Every session is conducted through an empathetic lens, allowing you to fully embark on your healing journey.

Maybe you have tried therapy before and it has helped you work through certain feelings or get through a specific crisis. But maybe you still find yourself repeating the same behaviors in subtle ways—perhaps until they become not so subtle and you find yourself back in therapy, in the midst of another crisis, one that eerily echoes your past experiences. You want not just to work through present issues, but also to delve deeper into your personality and life experiences to come to a better understanding of who you are, where you come from, and what your values are—with the goal of becoming the person you want and are able to be.

It can be really challenging to be a young person in today's world, especially as one transitions to greater independence and adulthood. You may ask yourself these questions: Who am I? What is my place in the world? Who do I want to become? How can I manage stress and these expectations? Sometimes you may feel “stuck” and unsure about how to move forward. You may be facing obstacles like the transition to work, college, or university, school and work stress, relationship struggles and loss, oppressive or discriminatory social environments, identity confusion and exploration, as well as anxiety, depression, or experiences of trauma.

How you connect with your therapist will be the most important factor in determining how you make progress in therapy. This bond and comfort to share personal information should start to build from the first meeting. With that in mind, I will provide a supportive, non-judgemental environment from which you can explore what is important to you. I have extensive training and experience (12 years counsellor; 9 years social worker, in hospitals, community settings and private practice) providing effective treatment for adult individuals, couples, groups, and supervising other therapists.

Some challenges can leave us feeling disconnected from both ourself and others. Feeling stuck, misunderstood, isolated, or burdened by guilt or shame over past events can hold us back from making meaningful changes to enjoy life again. You deserve to feel confidence and trust in yourself. I can help you get there. Working from an integrative methods approach, I pull from various therapeutic modalities to ensure this process meets your unique needs and goals at the pace you feel most comfortable with.
