I'm so glad you are here! I know how hard taking the first step in your mental health can be, but you are one step closer to getting back to your best self. I am passionate about the work I do, and feel that building rapport with clients allows for the most growth and success. I strive to ensure that my clients feel they are heard, understood and feel they are in a non-judgemental space to express all their thoughts and feelings. I am currently accepting new clients seeking individual therapy and specialize in children and adolescents, perinatal mental health and parent support and coaching.
I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families from a client-centered, strength-based framework. I utilize several therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) as well as Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Play-Based Therapy.
Reaching out is the hardest part, but getting the support you need can help set you free from the emotions you are bundling up inside. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and my job is simply to help you along this journey to guide you, empower you, and offer you direction and my own expertise. Whatever your journey may be, I'm here for you!
