I've been in the field since 2014, and I work as both an individual and couple therapist. In the past 10 years, I have worked with many mental health concerns, such as depression, anxiety, addiction, or grief. A main focus of mine is helping one improve their communication, assertiveness, and boundaries, either in relationships or personal self-talk. When discussing these topics coping skills and emotion regulation are often explored. As I am not sure about you, but when many struggle, their self-talk becomes negative, their ability to cope may go out the window, and their relationships or functioning are negatively impacted.
Therapy can be intimidating, so I'm flexible and laid back, trying to make you feel as comfortable as possible. I adapt my approach and style to meet your goals and welcome your ideas to make session the most beneficial (pets, snacks, or walk and talk therapy). If there is something I can do to support you to come to sessions, we'll try it!
My background is CBT, CPT, DBT, solution focused, mindfulness, strengths based & narrative therapy. When I am not working, I can be found outside hiking & kayaking, or trying to perfect the art of watercolour painting & sourdough bread. Reaching out can be scary, but I promise an empathetic & kind person answering the inquiry!

Simply put, therapy explores how we react to situations. Even with the best intentions, how we have been reacting could be negatively impacting us. Together, we'll explore these impacts and process any emotions/ thoughts that come from that. We do this by developing tailored goals unique to you, which may include custom coping skills, improved self-awareness, and insight into your self-talk.

I use a combination of therapy types depending upon your goals and learning style (eg. talk therapy or manualized). A quick snapshot of approaches: CBT (trying to change how we think), DBT (trying to change how we behave), Mindfulness (learning to slow down/ increase presence), Solution-Focused (create realistic goals & steps to achieve said goal), CPT (manualized trauma therapy stemming from CBT)
