I provide a non-judgmental space where you can talk about your problems, life events, relationships, values, thoughts, feelings, and aspirations. Together, we can discover ways to address your problems and lessen their heaviness on your life. Together, we can discover how you can pursue what is important to you and what is precious. For more than 20 years I have studied and practiced various methods to help people approach their problems and aspirations. I try to provide a space where you feel listened to, where there is compassion, and where your strengths and wisdom are centered.
I use a combination of methods that can include DBT Skills, Narrative Therapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), Brief Solution Focused and Motivational Interviewing. My approach is always strength-based and trauma-informed. Using a collaborative approach, we can determine which methods work best for you.
I listen. I have hope. I have compassion. I am aware that injustice and minority stress may be the cause of some of your problems. I will always affirm your identity and am committed to centering trans and queer experiences. I support decolonization and anti-racist practices including the Black and Indigenous Lives Matter movement.

Groups
DBT Skills
During this program, I teach skills in acceptance and change that can increase an individual’s ability to respond to situations more effectively. This program has been designed to help people with borderline personality disorder and self-harm behaviour, however the skills are universal and can benefit everyone. DBT SKills are taught in group settings of 4–6 people or individually.
