I have been blessed to have worked many years in the counselling/healing field with individuals of all ages. I have specialized training in working with youth. I am quite comfortable working with single and complex trauma, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, and dissociation. I have been in the clinical field for 23 years and formally trained earning my Masters in Counselling Psychology in 2020.
One of the truths I have witnessed is that everyone is different. I am trained in Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT).
I believe the therapeutic relationship between the client and the therapist is essential to creating a safe space that fosters healing. I absolutely am blessed to witness, support, and aid in my client's health and healing. It would be my honour to walk alongside you to find solutions that best fit your current situation.

I work with clients whose clinical presentations vary but primarily it is trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief/loss. My main goal as a therapist is to create inner and outer safety. We will look at what current/historical challenges could be getting in the way and slowly working towards ways to change their impact on your life. The bonus to this treatment style is it is paced by you and is safe.
