I strongly believe everyone has great internal wisdom and resilience to navigate life’s challenges.
I use an eclectic approach of evidence-based practices to support you such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and mindfulness. I have extensive experience working with youth and adults with challenges related to generalized anxiety, social anxiety, depression, life transitions, boundaries, stress management, and self-esteem.
Always approaching my work from an anti-oppressive, collaborative, and trauma-informed perspective I aim to create an emotionally safe and compassionate space where you will feel heard and supported. Please feel free to book a free 15-minute consultation by emailing me or booking online if you would like to connect.
