I have a passion for working with young people to empower and support them with their challenges. I also work with people of all ages and gender identities. Whether you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, AOD, relationship issues, or any thing else I'd be happy to help.
I also facilitate Dungeons and Dragons Group Therapy sessions for clients wanting to use play and roleplay therapy toward their healing. This is a great way to boost self-esteem and confidence, work through anxiety and depression, and process trauma.
I often work from a pluralistic approach that draws from Gestalt, Person-Centred, Narrative, CBT, DBT, and Solution Focussed therapies. I have experience and interest in supporting clients with AOD issues, trauma, and auditory, visual, and somatic hallucinations.
It can be daunting reaching out to a new therapist when your unsure if they will be the right fit for you. Please feel free to give me a call or send me a text for a free 15 minute consult.
