Do you feel stuck, anxious or unhappy? Have you experienced loss, trauma or mental health struggles? I work with adults and youth wherever they are at and empower them achieve their goals of who and where they want to be. There are so many things that can impact our ability to live as fully as we want to and sometimes we need a space to process, make connections and find strategies and tools to move forward. I believe that healing is possible and I am passionate about offering a strengths-based approach, insight and skill building, compassion and a sense of humour to help you find it.
I have extensive clinical experience supporting children, youth and adults with trauma, grief, parenting and mental health. I am trained in a variety of modalities, including EMDR, CBT, DBT, and narrative therapy. My focus is always on supporting you through a flexible approach to find your own goals and to help you find strategies, skills and insight.
My clients have told me that they appreciate my genuine, open, compassionate and friendly approach. I value building a positive and trusting relationship as a strong foundation of our work. If you are interested in talking more about whether or not I'm a good fit for your therapeutic needs, feel free to contact me for a free 15 minute phone consult.
