Are you working through challenges, or seeking growth? Have your tried methods not been especially true? You may not have a coherent formulation of what you seek (especially for those new to therapy); part of my job is to help you reach those insights and feel hope or excitement for the change to come. If you're reticent, I welcome you to a commitment-free chat to get a better sense of the process. If you're ready and want to make a change, now is the time. My door is always open.

I endeavour to meet you wherever you are. My talk-based, collaborative approach integrates several modalities to effectively serve your unique goals and needs. My clients have often lived through grief, complex trauma, existential transitions, anxiety/depression, and identity challenges.

Everyone's therapy looks at least a little different. I hold space, listen, and integrate. I provide adaptation strategies, highlight trends, and interpret or draw connections. Invariably, I welcome feedback. This is your space. I look forward to walking with you.

I believe you, plain and simple. Dissociative disorder diagnoses are on the rise, trauma is universal (especially after a pandemic), suffering is relative, and reality is highly subjective. We don't have all the answers, but I thrive off the beaten path, and welcome you to join me. I emphasize safety, collaboration, honesty, pragmatism, flexibility, exploration/curiosity, and rapport.

I have an eclectic, trauma-informed approach to therapy, typically integrating several modalities to best serve my clients' unique needs. In session, you can expect a more laid-back style from me, along with a healthy dose of humour, where appropriate. That said, I approach The Work with reverence and humility. I'm comfortable in my experience, but I don't know you yet. We're in this together.
