Welcome, I am a Clinical Counselor who has had the immense privilege of supporting individuals in their journey of healing, personal growth, and self exploration for over 20 years. I adhere to a collaborative practice, placing at the center of it an ethical praxis focused on the well being, needs, and therapeutic goals of each individual. My practice is trauma-informed, non oppressive, and affirming of culture, ability, and identity. At the heart of my practice is a commitment to honour the wisdom inherent in each individual and their right to seek their journey of healing and self discovery in the best way that makes sense to them
My clinical work has been at a community agency, a contracted Clinical Counselor, and a Clinician in private practice. I specialize in Addictions - Including Substances, Adolescent Issues, Anxiety, Depression-including Post-Partum Depression, Grief and Loss, Marriage and/or Relationship Issues, Life Transitions, and Trauma Counselling.
I'm holding this moment of gratitude for your decision to embark in a process of healing and personal growth; what a courageous act on behalf of self.
