Regardless of the challenges you face, I believe you are the expert on you. My role is a supportive one as you identify your needs and work through complicated emotions and life experiences. Our work together is a partnership with shared aims: fewer unwanted emotions and behaviors, and a greater ability to respond to stressors. Whether you experience anxiety, grief, trauma, or interpersonal challenges, I am mindful of the vital influence of one's environment, culture, family system, and identity.
With a professional background in secondary and university-level education, my practice pulls from developmental psychology, neuroscience, and specialized training in complex trauma. I offer brief solution-focused therapy, crisis intervention, and longer-term psychotherapy. My practice integrates numerous treatment modalities depending upon clients' needs.
I strive to know my clients well and appreciate the vulnerability involved in sharing one’s personal narrative. I approach each individual with empathy, dignity, and a desire for others to feel safe, understood, confident, and hopeful for positive change.
