I balance a genuine optimism for your well-being with a realistic understanding that life is inevitably hard sometimes. Therapy with me is a space to start to explore what wellness, healing, coping and safety looks like for you. Everyone is unique, including you, and so I integrate a number of therapeutic modalities, so that our work meets you where you're at and celebrates you as you are. I maintain a critical hope in my work alongside critical thinking skills; I understand that your individual mental health is impacted by the larger social structures we live in.
The diagnoses I have the most experience with are anxiety disorders, eating disorders, substance use disorders, and mood disorders. However, I only draw on those labels if you find it useful; I am much more interested in how you describe you! I believe everyone is the world expert on their own lived experience.
It is truly an honour for me to work with others, and that is made evident by the fresh, authentic energy I bring to my work. If you think I might be a good fit to be your therapist, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation - if it's not a good fit, that's totally OK!
