I provide individual and couples counselling to members of the public, first responders, healthcare providers, & other therapists. I specialize in working with PTSD, trauma, & anxiety. I also work with a range of other concerns, including, depression, relationship & attachment issues, anger, & grief. I take an integrative & trauma-informed approach to treatment because I believe that healing fundamentally involves working both with the mind & the manifestation of emotional experiences stored in the body. Everyone has a unique path to healing & processing – my approach will help you feel safe & empowered as you begin this journey.
I am trained in various evidence-based modalities, including, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, & Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. I also regularly use mindfulness & somatic based techniques. In addition, I primarily draw from the Gottman Method for couples experiencing relationship difficulties.
I prioritize creating a safe & non-judgmental environment where my clients’ needs are met with a deep sense of care & compassion. I offer a gentleness that creates safety & connection while also challenging, supporting, & empowering clients to engage with their emotions in meaningful ways that promote healing & growth.
