Thank-you for visiting my profile. I aim to create a safe environment for you during our counselling sessions. A place where you feel connected, safe, and free to be yourself. I honour your truth and your story; I respect your openness and vulnerability. I am excited to learn what makes you a unique person. My goal is to create a therapeutic connection based on empathy, nonjudgement, care, and kindness. Your mental health, wellness, and resiliency are my priorities. I listen, I challenge, and I empower. It is important to me that you are heard and I will listen to your truth.
My clinical specialties include supporting adults/youth (16+ years) who identify as LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, +), Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA), Adults/Youth involved in Crime/Gangs, and persons who struggle with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and difficulty regulating emotions.
It is important to me as a therapist to foster a sense of hope in my clients. Hope fosters optimism and agency in your life. Hope is, in my practice, at the heart of therapy. Even though you might be uncertain, you enter counselling in the hope that you will experience a change for the better. I invite you to reach out to me when you are ready.
