For over a decade, I have practiced in a variety of clinical settings, specializing in the areas of depression, anxiety, substance use, and gambling. As your therapist, I seek to build a meaningful and genuine relationship based on mutual respect, honesty, and a recognition of each person’s unique lived experiences and social context. My approach to change is collaborative and compassionate, grounded in a commitment to anti-oppressive practice.
Within the safety of a strong therapeutic connection, we can begin to explore patterns in relationships and repetitive themes that may be rooted not only in personal history but also in broader systems of power and oppression. These patterns can keep you from meeting your goals and feeling satisfaction in your life and relationships.
My practice acknowledges the ongoing impact of colonialism and systemic barriers and seeks to support clients in reclaiming agency and voice in their lives. From a trauma-informed lens, I utilize a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and solution-focused interventions.
