I have experience providing evidence-based mental health support to adolescents and adults (16 years and older) for a broad range of issues, including (but not limited to): - Interpersonal and relationship difficulties - Attachment insecurities and developmental traumas - Complex Posttraumatic stress disorder - Grief and Loss - Emotional dysregulation and personality disorders - Substance addiction and dependence - Adjustment difficulties and challenging life transitions - Low self-esteem, anxiety and depressive disorders - LGBTQIA+ stressors
I have developed my clinical expertise across a range of therapeutic approaches, including EFIT, Schema Therapy, ACT, CBT, CFT, DBT and IPT. I also actively strive to inform my work through strengths-based perspectives, and trauma-informed and neuro-affirmative approaches of care to best align with each client’s needs.
The first step to receiving support is often a difficult one, but I thank you for taking this courageous step. While struggle is painful, I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you through this pain so that we can achieve the emotional healing needed to create and sustain the changes in your life that you deserve.

I am passionate about working with clients struggling with chronic stress, trauma, PTSD and difficulties regulating their emotions, and provide space within each session to hear and understand your story. After initially delving deeply into better understanding your experience, I ask for your therapy and collaboratively develop a treatment plan to best meet these goals in mutually agreeable ways.
