Welcome! I am so happy that you are looking into counselling or therapy for yourself. If you are a young adult, struggling with many life stages/changes or are struggling with unhelpful behaviours (i.e. technology addictions, pornography addictions, motivation issues, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, feeling trapped or stuck by life), than I am here to help. Society today can be so demanding, challenging, and feel so hard to get ahead of it all, but there are steps we can take to make things better for you one step at a time. Thank you for your consideration.
I am earned my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and Master of Social Work (MSW) degrees with honours and distinction. I tailor my approach to every individual client, as some may require a more cognitive and behavoural (i.e. CBT) approach of focusing on coping strategies, where others may require a more in-depth approach to examine where the issues originated.
In the current environment, life can feel like it is out of hand, be it individually, socially, spiritually, politically, and societally. However, it is important to always remember that there are always things that can be done to improve your situation and change the way we see things in life. It would be a pleasure and gift if I could be there for you.

At first, it is important to explore what bring you to therapy and what would be the most effective strategy for your issues. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice, as we can examine how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors all interact and influence each other and how to manage them for the better moving forward.
